A Walk Back In History

[Mat Awesome]

Through the wrestling years, we have seen many greats. Greats like Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rock. Bret Hart. Bruno Sammartino. Shawn Michaels. We have seen great matches like Scott Hall vs Stone Cold and Owen Hart vs Bret Hart. We have had many great memories from matches like Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior and Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat. All of those great memories, matches, and legacies all have come to an end at some point. The endings always leave fans sad, disappointed, and needy. Needy for another career prime. Not only fans feel this neediness. Wrestlers always have to fulfill this void somehow, someday. Many wrestlers have made returns, giving it one more shot. My question to you, if you had to pick ONE great and walk them back in time to their prime, who would you pick? Would you pick Rowdy Roddy Piper and bring him on Monday Night Raw for some rowdying up? Would you pick Lex Lugor to destroy the whole Raw roster? It's your choice. Pick anyone in wrestlig history. Dead or Alive.


My pick, of course is Owen Hart. What I would do to revive him and watch him take current WWE by storm and gain a World Championship and finally Take a huge step out of his brother's shadow. His match with HHH at WM14 and his match with Edge were brilliant. Of course, his matches with Bret were also great. Just imagine Owen Hart exiting the steelcage with Bret Hart knocked out on the ground. Owen Hart is your new WWF Champion!

That is my dream, what's yours?

Very intriguing topic. We're in desperate need of some quality heels in this era, so I would bring back the Macho KING Randy Savage in heel form.

Owen Hart vs. Kurt Angle or vs. Bret Hart circa 1994. Those have always been dream matches that can only be fulfilled on video games.

I'd like to bring back Brian Pillman. I know he's not a legend but I'd love to see him against Kofi Kingston.

Now for the real legends Roddy Piper vs Steve Austin. Their little meeting at WM 21 was pretty cool and I could only wonder what they could've done together. In today's wrestling climate they could have some amazing promos.

WWE really missed the boat in recreating Brian Pillman with The Brian Kendrick imo.

I have to go with The Rock. The idea of The Rock vs HBK at Wrestlemania is something we will never see now, but I seriously hope that we don't die without having seen some sort of interaction, at least on the mic, between The Rock and John Cena

Ive seriously pondered this question because I wouldn't know how it would work by todays standards. I'd say Brian Pillman. In 96-97 he was definitely on a roll and I really wanted to see what could've been. If he was still alive I assume that maybe he would be retired by now, he could make his transition to the commentators table after he was done.

^^^^Yeah, watched 'Loose Cannon' DVD recently..... Bwoy was ahead of his time. Would have been amazing to see how far he got was he not already carrying the injury when he arrived in WWE.


Perfect manages to capture the WWF title from Hogan in 1990 during the fued where he and The Genius destroyed the title... Even just a super-short reign would have kicked ass!


Ted Dibiase SUCCESSFULLY buying the WWF title and taking the MDM gimmick as far as it could have been taken.


Savage beating Hogan.... Just once. :sigh:


DX reform to rid WWE of NWO (HBK & HH could have still fueded off of the back of the DX reunion.)


To see where Jake Roberts would have dragged his fued with Warrior had he not been fired.



Sure I'll come up with more....
