#3 The Undertaker vs Goldberg

The Undertaker is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest superstar to ever set foot at WrestleMania

For over 2 decades, Goldberg and The Undertaker have been the biggest names in the WWE. But not once have these two legends been booked in a one on one feud against each other.

In fact, the only time these two men briefly shared the same ring was at Royal Rumble 2017, when The ‘Deadman’ eliminated Goldberg.

The Undertaker is without a shadow of a doubt the greatest superstar to ever set foot at WrestleMania. His unprecedented run of 21 straight victories at WrestleMania, famously referred to as ‘The Streak’ is considered as the greatest achievement in WrestleMania history.

On the other hand, you have the iconic Goldberg, a man who is vicious in the ring and has decimated several great superstars in the WWE.

It would have been a dream come true, ‘The Phenom’ squaring off against Goldberg at WrestleMania.

#2 Shawn Michaels vs Brock Lesnar

The agility of Michaels against the brute force of Lesnar would have made a classic

Shawn Michaels is one of the greatest performers in WrestleMania history. He has had feuds with some of the biggest names in the company, including the likes of Ric Flair, The Undertaker, Triple H etc.

On the other hand, you have the ‘Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar - a man who is barbaric and has absolutely destroyed superstars in the caliber of The Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, Kane, Big Show, etc, during his tenure with the company.

The agility of Michaels against the brute force of Lesnar would have made this match an absolute cracker.

#1 The Rock Vs The Undertaker

This match would have emerged as the greatest match ever, in the history of WrestleMania

Now, this is one match, if booked, would have been the most iconic match in the history of WrestleMania. It would have sent fans into a tizzy and would have emerged as the greatest match of all time.

On one hand, you have the most ‘Electrifying man’ in all of Sports Entertainment, the People’s Champion - The Rock. He has had feuds with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, and John Cena at WrestleMania.

But then, The Rock never faced The Undertaker at WrestleMania.

On the other hand, you have The Phenom, The DeadMan - The Undertaker. Undertaker has had feuds with the likes of Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Kane, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, John Cena at WrestleMania.

The ethereal sight of The Rock walking to the ring with more than 70000 electrified fans chanting his name, contrasted by the sound of the iconic gong, that signals the arrival of The Undertaker walking to the ring with his trademark black hat, and his black coat and coming face to face with the ‘Great One’ would have made the hair at the back of your neck stand up in excitement.
