10 Dream WCW/WWE matches we got on Free TV

#8 Shawn Michaels vs Goldberg, Raw

Michaels and Goldberg

Back during the Attitude Era, Goldberg was the hottest act on Nitro, while Shawn Michaels and Triple H were lighting the wrestling world on fire on Raw. Soon after Goldberg made his WWE debut in 2003 and faced Michaels in what was a dream match for many.

Unfortunately, the match ended in a DQ when Evolution's Batista decided to come out and break Goldberg's ankle to collect the $100,000 bounty put on by Triple H. A concrete decision to the match would have been preferable, and the crowd wasn't thrilled one bit with The Animal's antics that night.

#7 John Cena vs Shinsuke Nakamura, SmackDown Live

Cena and Nakamura

On one hand, there's John Cena, hands down the biggest WWE Superstar in the modern era. On the other hand, there's Shinsuke Nakamura, who made a name for himself in NJPW before signing with the WWE. These two athletes faced off against each other in a TV match, something that could have easily headlined in a major PPV.

Thankfully, this match ended with a clean finish as Nakamura hit Cena with a Kinshasa to bag a huge win. As if WWE giving away this match on free TV wasn't already a big deal, Nakamura winning the bout came as a shocker and fans had nothing but respect for Cena for putting him over.
