What could have been. If you’re any kind of a wrestling fan, you can probably list off some of the all time best rivalries in history. There have been some great rivalries over the years which have produced some incredible matches and moments. If there’s one thing more fun than talking about the great rivalries that did happen, it’s talking about great rivalries that didn’t happen. There may be even more “what ifs” than “already did” rivalries and of course they’re worth checking out.

Did your pick make the list? Check out WWE’s choices.

4 rivalries we wish happened: WWE List This!

WWE has released a new video looking at four rivalries that they wanted to see happen. These rivalries are ones that conceivably could have happened, at least in the short term. Several of them almost did happen and more than one of the combinations did have matches or at least interact in the ring at some point. The majority of these are modern choices but a fair number of the wrestlers have already retired from active competition.

Opinion: These lists could go on forever and that’s what makes for some of these things so much more interesting. The choices on this list are pretty good for the most part with John Cena vs. Ric Flair being possibly the least interesting. I could go for Rey Mysterio vs. Shawn Michaels or Undertaker vs. Goldberg, the latter just for the sake of a good old hoss fight. You could easily go all the way up to a top twenty list of something like this, which really does to go show you how much wrestling history there is to go over.

Which of these interests you most? What should have made the list? Let us know in the comments below.
