3 dream matches that will never happen, and One that might

C
Could we see these two fight it out in the ring?

In professional wrestling, just like in any sport, there are dream contests. Pitching the very best from one era against the very best of a different era has caused plenty of debates amongst fans.

Whether it's Mayweather vs Tyson or England '66 against France '18, dream matches can often be hotly debated.

In professional wrestling, things are no different. With thousands upon thousands of wrestlers having graced a television screen at some point in time, there's no shortage of possible dream matches that could occur.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Here are four dream matches that sadly will never happen, and one that just might.


Andre The Giant Vs The Big Show

Two of the biggest superstars in wrestling history, Andre the Giant and the Big Show have often been compared, with fans trying to determine the greatest big man of all time.

Andre had a 15-year undefeated Streak, and briefly held the WWF Championship, whilst Show won the WCW Championship in his first match and has 3 world titles in WWE to his name.

Sadly, Andre passed in 1996 and was the first inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Whilst a match between the two will never happen, it would've been amazing to see any ring possibly hold these two behemoths.


Mick Foley Vs Dean Ambrose

Foley and Ambrose are both thought of fondly in the wrestling community as erratic and often deranged superstars.

Foley is known for his personas, including the lovestruck Dude Love, the deranged Mankind and the dangerous, homicidal Cactus Jack.

Dean kind of has some of those same traits, as his appearances in weapon matches show that he is willing to hurt to hurt his opponent.

Interestingly, a feud between the two did have the groundwork laid in FCW, but nothing materialized from it.

Foley will be the first to admit he is past his wrestling prime in 2018, and with Ambrose as one of the most popular stars on Monday Night RAW at the moment, it would be odd to bring him away from the Shield for a feud like this.

CM Punk Vs. Tomasso Ciampa

Two of the most successful independent superstars to jump to the WWE, CM Punk and Tomasso Ciampa personify broad-appeal.

In NXT, Ciampa has become the top star in the developmental brand, capturing the NXT Championship from Aleister Black, who was subsequently and mysteriously attacked backstage.

Punk joined the company in 2006 and captured the ECW Championship a year later.

During his tenure, he became an Intercontinental and Tag Champion and had an incredible 434-day reign as WWE Champion.

However, Punk left the WWE in 2014 and has seemingly retired from wrestling. Fans did speculate (and hope) that he would appear at independent supershow ALL IN, but after that didn't happen, it seems highly unlikely we'll see the Second City Savior in a wrestling ring ever again.

Will happen: Daniel Bryan Vs Kurt Angle

A sure-fire dream match, Bryan and Angle's technical prowess cannot be matched, unless by the other.

And yet, even a few years ago, a match between the two seemed impossible. Angle had been in Impact Wrestling for the majority of his career, and Bryan retired in 2016 due to injuries.

Yet here we are, two years later, with Kurt back in WWE (though on leave from his RAW General Manager duties) and Bryan thankfully, back in the squared circle.

A match between the two would set fans' hearts ablaze, as we'd get to see two of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time do what they do best.
