5 Wrestling Matchups we'd like to see
No matter how deep a particular promotion's roster is, the fans always want MORE.
It doesn't matter how far-fetched or impractical the circumstances are. Fans want to see certain wrestlers square off, regardless of the underlying issues that may prevent the match from actually happening.
With social media's added impetus, the wrestling promotions around the world seem to be listening. AJ Styles finally squared off with WWE superstars partly because so many people demanded it.
And speaking of social media, the groundswell of support for Rusev has led to his re-insertion into a casket match against the Undertaker at the Greatest Royal Rumble. Now that fans can influence not only the outcomes but the matchups themselves with just a few keystrokes, it seems that the landscape has changed. The fans are being listened to in ways never thought possible.
This could lead to a series of 'dream matches,' purely dictated by the will of the masses. With that in mind, here are five matchups we'd love to see.
#5 Chris Jericho vs. Ricochet
It's experience vs. youthful passion in a contest that promises non stop action and great psychology.
Chris Jericho remains one of the best grapplers lacing up the boots on the wrestling scene today. He constantly re invents himself to stay fresh and exciting.
Ricochet is possibly the most amazing talent to come down the pike in years. His mix of high flying wizardry and peerless execution had rightfully earned him a coveted WWE contract.
Why it would be a dream match: When you come up with words to describe Ricochet, the terms innovative, dynamic, and charismatic come to mind. Those words were applied to Jericho 25 years ago during his time as a young lion.
Chances of it happening: Good. Jericho was booked into a match with Undertaker recently, and he has maintained a healthy relationship with Vince McMahon in spite of not being under contract.
This match would be nothing short of amazing. Could Jericho's knowledge and wisdom derail the freight train that is Ricochet? We'd love to find out, and with Jericho apparently returning to WWE it just might happen.
