New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Chyna vs Asuka
The 'Ninth Wonder of the World' vs the longest undefeated streak in WWE history.
Trending
Chyna was the original wrestling diva with a heady concoction of beauty and muscles. In a time when divas were only used as eye candy, she stepped into the ring against some of the most talented male stars of her time and kicked some butt too.
She won the Intercontinental Belt twice and was a part of the ever popular DX gang. Having beaten male Superstars like HHH and Kurt Angle, few female wrestlers could have even dared to step in the ring with her.
Asuka is currently the number one contender for the women's title in SmackDown. She was also the winner of the first women's Royal Rumble match. She was also one of the longest reigning NXT Women's Champions. Not one to shy away from a fight she is always looking for opportunities to showcase her talent.
And this would be the perfect match for her. Were Chyna still alive, this would be the perfect fillip to The Divas Revolution with a match worthy of headlining WrestleMania. Chyna's brute strength and elegance against Asuka's unusual technique and die-hard attitude would have definitely given us a match to cherish for ages.
#4 D-Generation X (New Age Outlaws & X Pac) vs New Day
The Attitude Era trendsetters vs the irritatingly funny The New Day
The Attitude Era was possibly WWE's best in terms of content and sheer entertainment value. It was a period filled with superstars like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. But D-Generation X or DX was the gang that was the face of the Attitude Era.
They were cool, funny, cocky and very mischievous. They were anti-establishment. In fact, they were anti-everything. But the best part was, they were also brilliant inside the ring as well.
After various not so successful stints as singles performers, Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods came together to form The New Day. Their various inane gimmicks like the trombone named Francesca, chants of 'New Day Rocks', unicorn horns and 'Booty-Os' cereals all have the audiences in splits.
But inside the ring, they are no jokers with four tag team championships between them. As a trio, they are strong, agile, smart and have great match awareness.
So how about the New Age Outlaws - Road Dogg and 'Badd Ass' Bill Gunn - team up with fellow DX member X Pac to take on the New Day in a 3-on-3 match?
#3 Bret 'The Hitman' Hart vs Daniel Bryan
The Execution of excellence vs the pioneer of the 'Yes' movement.
As a kid in the early 1990s, Bret Hart had to be your favorite wrestler. He was technically gifted. He did all the right things. while he was the WWF champion for a long time. Even when he lost a match it was usually due to some unfair play by the opponent. His sharpshooter was as good a finishing move as you will ever see.
He even gave his sunglasses to a kid before the start of each match. We all wished we could be that lucky kid. There were many good wrestlers in that time but Bret Hart was the true champion with his in-ring ability and 'hero' persona outside the ring.
Only few WWE Superstars have been able to incite crowds like Daniel Bryan did with his 'Yes Movement'. His popularity is strongly founded in his wrestling ability and his 'good guy' character. Not as physically big or beefed up as others, Bryan makes up for it with his performance in the ring.
He has been champion multiple times on both Raw and SmackDown. In fact, they even ran a storyline where the McMahons were against him as champion because his image did not fit that off a typical wrestler.
Two average sized, technically sound, crowd favorite wrestlers with great in-ring ability. I would love to see the Sharpshooter go up against the Yes Lock.
#2 Shawn Michaels vs AJ Styles
The Showstopper vs The Phenomenal One.
Shawn Michaels is widely regarded as one of the best wrestlers to have ever stepped into the squared circle for all the right reasons. Not only does he know how to wrestle, he also excels in putting up a good show. In the entertainment business, that is what matters. He may not have been champion as many times as others, but he is 'Mr. Wrestlemania' having headlined the most number of WrestleMania.
After 18 years in the wrestling business, AJ Styles finally made his much-awaited move to the WWE in 2016. He became an instant hit with the fans and soon enough he won the WWE Championship. Amongst the current crop of wrestlers, he is the biggest showman of them all. His performance in the ring is truly 'phenomenal'.
Constant comparisons are made between Michaels and Styles and what a delight it would be to see the biggest showstoppers of their respective eras put up a show together.
#1 Hulk Hogan vs Stone Cold Steve Austin
Hulkamania vs The Rattlesnake
There are stars, there are megastars and then there are those who define eras altogether. Hulk Hogan was the wrestler around whom the then WWF was built in the 1980s. Along with owner Vince McMahon, he formed the foundation on which WWE has gone on to become the outright worldwide leader in the wrestling business wiping out all competition.
He has been widely proclaimed as the greatest wrestler of all times. Winning several championships and headlining in-numerous PPVs, he is the biggest Superstar of them all.
In the late 1990s WWE started facing stiff competition from the WCW and began losing out on the Monday Night Wars. Then came the Attitude Era which killed all WWE competition once and for all. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was the biggest Superstar of this era - in terms of wrestling, he was arguably even bigger than The Rock. Beer guzzling, foul-mouthed and anti-McMahon -- he was a Texas redneck whose character oozed attitude. Inside the ring, he was dominant and fierce.
These two men are the Superstars who made what the WWE is today. One who asked his Maniacs to eat their vitamins and the other who drank beer like it was water. One who made WWE the #1 show and the other who ensured WWE at that pedestal.
Two completely different characters who scaled similar heights in their wrestling careers. A true clash of the generations with their divergent values and persona. This match on its own would within seconds sell out arenas at the biggest venues possible.
