It's okay to book something just because it would be an awesome moment every once in a while. There are plenty of other matches on the card to build for the future. The HBK/HHH vs Taker matches never elevated anyone any further than they slready were, but that didn't matter, because they were fantastic matches.
As for being past their prime, that's irrelevant. This isn't Nikolai Volkoff we're talking about here. They can still go. Hell, jericho had one of the best matches of his career in his last run.
They don't need history. In fact that's part of the appeal. Two living legends whose paths have never really crossed. They're both great enough performers to make the build up great, regardless.
