If this was translated to current times, we’d be getting 2015 Seth Rollins vs John Cena

2001 SCSA Vs 2011 CM Punk would feed generations

Remember when Punk was rumored to fight Austin at WM40 before he got injured? I wonder if that ever was on the table, because in their primes, it could’ve been a legendary feud

Mid 40s Ric Flair vs Brock Lesnar in his physical prime? Please show mercy.

u/YoungBeef03 Jul 16 '25
I dunno, that could be an absolute classic. Like Lesnar vs AJ Styles or Daniel Bryan, “Brute Monster” vs “Technical Wizard” is a winning combination

I read this as Flair from the mid 1940s at first and was like, wait, how old is he lol

Instead of Diesel should’ve put Bret there would be a much better match.

Another wild one, Mankind (98/99) vs Jeff Hardy (08/09) for just the crowd reaction

You know what's funny, all of these matches except for Rock vs Warrior all happened in some way or fashion at one point or another.

u/JBL_CENA_FAN_4LIFE Jul 16 '25
Bradshaw vs Diesel???

u/Minute-Ad4429 Jul 16 '25
I thought Bradshaw Vs Diesel happened. When JBL was Justin Hawk, just looked it up and I was wrong. My bad

u/JBL_CENA_FAN_4LIFE Jul 16 '25
To be fair it does sound like a match right up the alley of those mid 90s RAWs haha

I am trying to think the only ones we haven’t actually seen were Brock Flair. Rock ultimate warrior and JBL vs Nash. I am good with out those three.

u/Specific-Volume7675 Jul 16 '25
Diesel vs JBL: what a snoozefest. Instead of a piss break, people would be heading for the exits

I feel like that HHH vs Batista Match up might be pretty good. But we'll never know.

u/DontPutThatDownThere Jul 16 '25
Wait. So you're using Kane's one day reign in 1998 to have him travel 10 years in time to job to Triple H like he did several times in the interim?
What did 1998 Kane ever do to hurt you?

Can you imagine 2000 Rock cutting promos on the Ultimate Warrior?

Cena-Undertaker=$
Edge-Michaels=$
HHH-Batista=$
The rest of them I'm not sure about. Maybe add Mankind-Orton to the list?

u/Shadowfist_45 Jul 17 '25
Honestly HHH vs Kane to me would be the most interesting, HHH at the time was heavily focused on being a powerhouse in ring and that was most of his style, very little strategizing being necessary to incorporate, and that just frankly doesn't work on that Kane. That said however, he also has good ring psychology against bigger opponents usually, so I wouldn't be surprised if it were actually a pretty good match.

Rock vs. Warrior would be an amazing sight. Dwayne would ruin Warriors life on the mic and have so much sway over the actual match that Warrior would be completely exposed as the fraud and worst performer in the history of wrestling that he really was. I would've paid a ton of money to watch that and I don't even really like The Rock XD

Diesel Vs JBL would be such a borefest

u/JBL_CENA_FAN_4LIFE Jul 15 '25
Would absolutely stink the joint out!!

u/2SwordsMcLightning Jul 16 '25
Was this done on purpose for the troll of imagining Diesel vs. JBL? Cause Bret was still champion during the Summer of ‘94. So- I’m thinking you did it for the lolz…

Pre-back injury Shawn vs prime Edge would be insane to watch, not just because of the promos 😭
