The point is, the definition of dream matches changes as the years go by. Some prefer the technical masterpieces that culminated from the likes of Ric Flair versus Harley Race and Chris Benoit versus Dean Malenko, others prefer the high-spot matches that came to pass fromt he likes of The Hardy Boys versus Edge and Christian and Rey Misterio Jr versus Eddie Guerrero. With a bit of history and knowledge of the times past and how wrestling and the conception of dream matches has changed with the times, you are then able to make accurate decisions regarding potential dream matches. It is not ALL about the gimmick and the character and it is certainly not ALL about the high spots and the blood and gore. It is about the thing that is often lacking from professional wrestling in modern times; the wrestling itself, the feud behind it and the way the matches are hyped and put together. With that in mind; what are your personal dream matches? I have a few for you to think about:

Shawn Michaels versus Jerry Lynn -
Two true veterans of the sport with two very similar styles. Both men possess a great and vast style of the past mixed in with the style of the future, capable of pulling the show stealing high spots but also capable of pulling off the awe inspiring mat and technical work of the years behind us. I personally believe that these two men would have fantastic chemistry in the ring and could put on a series of show stealing matches night in and night out. This one would be proof that a dream match is not all about character as Jerry Lynn has never needed a major gimmick or character based persona to get over with a crowd. How many wrestlers can say that?

Kurt Angle versus Bret "Hitman" Hart
Kurt angle an olympic gold medalist and still to this day one of the greatest all around wrestlers in the world today possessing an awesome and innovative mix of character and personality, but with the mat skills to back it up. Bret Hart is quite possibly the greatest technical wrestler of all time, and one man he never got to face was Kurt Angle. I could see this played out in a "pass the torch" sort of match. It would undoubtedly be an awe inspiring masterpiece of a match, with the two men, even by thinking about it, having fantastic in-ring chemistry. What could have been...

Sting versus Shawn Michaels -
Sting is another man who I feel has a very similar style to that of Shawn Michaels. Both of them are amazing on the microphone and know how to work a crowd, yet neither of them have ever been given the chance to face each other in a match. In their style of ring work, they are very much alike and in their style of microphone work they are very much alike. If you want to delve into their personal lives also, they are both born again christian's, not that it has anything to do with the actual wrestling; but can someone say a perfect combination? I could see these two having a phenomenal Iron Man match.
