When you talk about the ideal wrestling dream match, there are a number of legendary and iconic professional wrestlers from every era of the sport. Among these names are the obvious ones, the likes of the recent heroes of the sport; Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Bret "Hitman" Hart, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker and to jump a little closer to the present, John Cena, Jeff Hardy, Randy Orton and Batista.

However, despite popular belief of the common wrestling mark, these are not the men who laid the foundations of the world of sports entertainment. They are simply the men that took it to new levels of height in the world of modern media and television. The men who laid the very foundations of the modern world of sports entertainment as we know it are the main formula of the entire equation of modern professional wrestling; the likes of "Gorgeous" George Wagner, "The King" Harley Race, Lou Thesz, Ed "The Strangler" Lewis and Hard boiled Haggerty.

All of these men have played a significant role in the world of professional wrestling despite some of them going amiss and being forgotten and disrespected, especially by more recent wrestling fans who do not care to do their history lessons and care simply for the "high-spots" and the "blood and gore" aspect of the modern sports entertainment world. When the sport was still as it was rightfully classed; a sport, high-spots were not necesarry to get over because quite simply, the wrestlers had talent, the wrestlers had respect for the sport and they worked morning, noon and night to simply put on a great show to the fans, often getting the living hell beat out of them in the process, often being legitimatley hated, resented and often attacked by the fans for the gimmicks they portrayed, and on top of that, they were working with a real passion for a LIVING WAGE, not the million dollar pay checks that are openly and voluntarily given to every tom, and Harry that barely has their boots wet in the blood, sweat and tears of the squared circle nowadays.

The history of the sport along with the hundreds of dream matches that have cullimated throughout the years is something that can never be erased and never will, however, with the growing population of Internet marks and smarks who think they know it from top to bottom, the ones who think that your Jeff Hardy's and your AJ Styles' are the greatest "wrestlers" of all time, that is when it turns from a simple fan-base to a blatant disrespect. You would not have your Jeff Hardy's and your AJ Styles' who leave the fans in shock and awe with their death defying stunts if the likes of "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka had not performed the legendary cage dive, or if the Rock "N" Roll Express and the Midnight Express had never had a scaffold feud. However, it is these moments in "high spot history" that go forgotten with modern day wrestling fans and that in its entirety is a blatant disrespect for the very foundations of the sport itself.
