Feuds that should have happened, but didn't.
Let's discuss feuds that should have happened, but never really materialized. Whether they just flat-out didn't happen or were teased and just never went anywhere.

Lol, I glanced at this and I thought it said Baseball and Basketball.
Mankind vs Goldust- Mid 90s before both men watered down thier gimmicks. The sadistic Mankind Vs the quasi sexual mind games of Goldust Undertaker Vs Macho Man Randy Savage- The deadman against one of (if not the best) in ring preformer of all time |

But seriously, Bats and Lesnar would have been exciting, especially if it was done before Bats got lazy.

One of the earlier motives would be this...
In 1994, before Hulk Hogan signed with WCW, Ric Flair was scheduled to feud with Steve Austin, and possibly drop the WCW World Heavyweight Championship to him. But that plan changed when Hogan signed and took Austin's place in the feud, and Flair turned heel. |

Goldberg vs. SCSA never happened. I could care less, but I know a lot of people wanted to see that at some point.

Tazz vs. anyone in the main event. Pretty much all of the dream feuds that were thought of when Taz was top dog in ECW.

I thought it fit him perfectly, and coincided with his debut. His vignettes started running the same time Austin was hit. It would have made sense that an incoming Taz would want to take out Austin to clear the way. But by the time Austin returned, Taz had already been demoted to Sunday Night Heat. I still think they could have made it him. He was always over enough, and it's the type of reveal that could lift him right out of the undercard and into the main event fold. Insta-pushes aren't unheard of. Especially under those circumstances. |

I didn't really consider having him debut and win the title. Mostly because that's just something WWE won't do. They've made it clear that they will make an incoming wrestler from another company pay their dues, at least for a little while. They will debut them big, but they will then drop down and have to work back up. Jericho, Big Show, Booker T, Benoit, and even Goldberg and Steiner are examples of this. The only way they will have a guy debut and win the title right away is if he's home grown, and even then they usually give it a few months. So really, I would have liked to see this as the progression: -Austin is hit by the car -Taz promos start running -He debuts at Royal Rumble and chokes Angle out -He goes on to actually have a real winning streak and feuds in the upper-midcard. Wins the IC title. -In the fall, Austin returns looking for who hit him and Taz finally comes forward. -Austin and Taz have a war of brawls and streetfights. Whether or not he stays main event or ever wins a world title is determined, but either way he is cemented as a top uppermidcard star in the mold of RVD pre-title or Christian, etc. |

Dream feud? Nah. But it was something that they never really seemed to cut lose with.
Besides, didn't Foley write in one of his books he held onto a LOT of animosity against the Rock waiting for the real feud to break out, and it never really did and it ended up being for nothing? |

One that I would have liked to have seen would have been Kronik vs APA. They both had the same "hired gun" gimmick, both teams were big brawler types, I thought it could have been a good feud.

Yeah exactly they were feuding from Survivor Series straight up to just a few weeks before Wrestlemania, they actually overshadowed Austin's stuff. Rock/Foley had an epic feud really, with all sorts of different matches, tournament match, regular match, falls count anywhere empty arena match, I Quit match, Ladder Match. If that's not an epic feud I don't know what is |

Did Goldberg ever face off against Hogan after Goldberg's first title win?
If not then Goldberg vs Hogan II due to how bad the Finger Poke of Doom was and Goldberg vs Nash being a bad way to end the streak. |

There's three particular feud in the WWF in the early 1990s, they should've gone for, before people left.
1990 - Big Boss Man vs. Rick Rude 1991 - Ultimate Warrior vs. Jake Roberts 1992 - Nailz vs. Undertaker The seeds were planted for those feuds, but it never materialized, due to people leaving. |

Rock vs Shawn Michaels and Hogan vs Austin are easily the biggest feuds possible that didn't ultimately happen.
They both would have been pretty great if executed at the right time, although Rock vs Shawn Michaels would have had the distinction of likely having matches that lived up to the hype. Austin and Hogan, while it would be an incredible build and exciting atmosphere, probably wouldn't have had the match quality. I'm not sure how Austin and Hogan would work together. The crowd involvement would be a major boost, like the Rock/Hogan match. That would no question be there. But that's a different dynamic as well, because Rock's style and pace may have just meshed better. Austin can carry, but I'm not sure that his brawling style would cover up Hogan's slowness as well as The Rock's. Shawn vs The Rock should have happened at Wrestlemania 20 in MSG. Oh well. |

Ok, now here me out. Something I wanted to see, but technically has happened once before. Cena v Lesnar now. You know Cena as WWE superman loyalist v Brock Lesnar coming back for another top run. Now it would be so much money.

Having it actually be Heyman on behalf of Taz is even better. It accomplishes the same thing in terms of pushing Taz and setting up matches/a feud with Austin, but at the same time involves Heyman which is gravy.

Can you imagine the promos alone? Booked properly, a match could’ve been entertaining. |

DDP vs. The Rock - People's Champ vs People's Champ. They were in the company at the same time, but Page was so poorly booked his first few months in that he lost all credibility almost immediately following the Taker/DDP stalker shit.
RVD vs. Rey Mysterio - I don't think this would've been a heel vs face kind of storyline, but more along the lines of Booker T/Benoit Best of 5 where it's all about the competitive nature of the two guys. I think RVD, before he got lazy and started doing the same 5 spots every match, and Mysterio could've put on some mind blowing 1-on-1 matches if they were given the time and freedom in the ring to really go at it. I mean, look at Sabu/Mysterio from ONS2. A fantastic match and RVD is far more talented than Sabu. |

Yeah, I wished they had someone else do the stalker deal. I liked the motivational speaker persona he had after the feud with Undertaker was over. I thought that was gold.

This.
As a matter of fact, there are a number of Eddie feuds that didn't happen in WWE because of his untimely passing before he ever switched over to Raw. The same goes for Brock, who never saw Raw. As a result he never got to have proper programs with HBK, HHH, Jericho. Those are all matches I'd absolutely love to see. |
