so close yet oh so far
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top five
craziest WWE matches that almost
happened before we begin we publish new
content every day so be sure to
subscribe to our Channel
and ring the bell to get notified about
our latest videos for this list we’re
looking at the matches that were being
booked backstage which unfortunately
never came to fruition
number five Stone Cold Steve Austin
versus Brock Lesnar Austin had been a
little frustrated with the powers that
be and this was the straw that broke the
camel’s back when he was told he would
do the job to the next big thing’ brock
lesnar he was less than impressed
austin’s straight-up refused to be put
down
stating it would be better to save them
match for a more fitting venue where the
weight of Lesnar’s victory would be
monumental and as a response the dota B
showed him the door he’d eventually make
a return but the match would never
happen
number 4 Big Show vs. Shaquille O’Neal
it doesn’t get much bigger than this
this one had been building for about
eight years
starting with Shaq’s gig as the guest
host of Raw back in 2009 first forward
several years and Shaquille was a
mystery entrance in the Andrea the giant
battle royale where he faced off with
show once again in what Tuesday singles
contest the following year but that
never happened though not even show
himself apparently knew why the match
was called off chances are it has
something to do with money
according to Shaq it was no fault of its
own but rather its shoddy management on
The WB’s side number 3 Stone Cold Steve
Austin this is Hulk Hogan if two of the
biggest names in professional wrestling
could have torn the house down it seems
that WB was hoping they could make this
one happen but the egos of the two mega
stars made it a wee bit too risky Hogan
had apparently expressed interest in the
match but Austin was having none of it
believing the matches wouldn’t live up
to the hype and Hogan wouldn’t be
willing to take the L number to Dean
Ambrose versus Mick Foley with Dean’s
history of violence in Indy companies
like czw it’s
a natural fit that he should take on a
legend of an equally bloody past
unfortunately it just never came to be
because Foley was not medically cleared
to take on the lunatic after years of
batarangs which is a bloody shame
because it seems like a no-brainer Dean
would have been elevated to the top
instantly and we’d get some payoff for
that guerrilla-style promo between the
two stars number one Triple H versus
Mike Tyson that’s right the King of
Kings against the baddest man on the
planet Tyson had seen conflict with DX
in the past and that was set to brew
again for Wrestlemania 17 where he would
face the former stable leader it said
that it may well have been a boxing
contest which leaded nits would probably
have been doubt the crowd so maybe it’s
not such a bad thing that this one
didn’t happen alas the estimated price
of the belt was far too absurd to
actually go through with and tricks’
faced off against the Undertaker instead
