TMW Dream Matches Pt. 1

It's an old habit of wrestling fans, no matter what kind you're thinking of. Give us some time, and we'll immediately start trying to figure out dream matches. And if nothing else has become apparent about this blog, it should be this. I pride myself on being a wrestling fan. So, these are the matches that I have always thought about. Am I gonna pick winners? Sure. Why the hell not?


First up, is a match that could and should interest fans of top-notch tag team work.
The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley\Chris Sabin)  vs The British Bulldogs





In a lot of ways, this is the kind of huge gigantic opener that you would need to have on many indie shows. But honestly, i'd love to see this be a main event.

The Machine Guns are, when both men are healthy and sharp, a terrifyingly innovative tag team. And while they are most famous for the stuff that they did in TNA, their best work has come not on national television. Not even by a little bit. Check out the stuff they did in Japan, or PWG, or even Border City Wrestling. It's awesome.

This is kind of the same way with the Bulldogs. In a lot of ways, their best work was not the stuff we saw on WWE TV. It was those house shows they did with the Hart Foundation when they were trying to prove a point. It was the stuff they did in Stampede and Japan. It was all of that which made them such a big deal, and it's all of that which will make this so easy.

The Bulldogs are your winners in a 45-minute classic.
