With WWE and TNA being the biggest wrestling promotions in the world today, every wrestling fan has matches that they would want to see between the wrestlers in both companies. I am obviously not speaking for everyone when writing this, but here are some matches that I would personally want to see if the two companies ever collided. Here is my fantasy match card for WWE vs. TNA.

10. Tag Team Turmoil

TNA: Beer Money Inc., LAX, Team 3D, and the Motor City Machine Guns vs. WWE: The Hardy Boyz, Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes, Miz and Morrison, and Carlito and Primo Colon.

Put four tag teams from WWE and TNA each in the ring and let them all battle each other in an over the top rope elimination match. This match has a little bit of everything. There is high flyers, brawlers, grapplers, and guys who would do just about anything to win, making for a very entertaining match.

9. Finisher Match

TNA: Booker T. vs. WWE: R-Truth

Two years ago, theses guys were representing opposite companies. R-Truth was master of the axe kick in TNA, and Booker T. finished off matches with the scissors kick in WWE.

This would be a back and forth match, mostly brawling between the two, but I'm sure that Truth would add some of the other moves in his arsenal such as the corkscrew forearm splash, a hurricanrana, or a 450 splash. In the end, I see Booker's years of experience being an advantage over R-Truth, and Booker winning with his version of the scissors kick.

8. Inferno/Match of 1000 Tacks

TNA: Abyss vs. WWE: Kane

Put the mentally unstable Abyss up against the downright deranged Kane, in a match that caters to them both. Abyss gets his thumbtacks, although in the end to win he would have to set Kane on fire. This match would be a struggle for power; Black hole slams, chokeslams, powerbombs, sidewalk slams, etc. I'm sure this match would not leave the fans disappointed as the two monsters attempt to set one another on fire.

7. Standard Match

TNA: Lance Hoyt vs. WWE: The Undertaker

Take him away from his Lance Rock gimmick, and Lance Hoyt could be a TNA champion. He can wrestle, and occasionally performs moves that he has no business attempting at his size and weight. When him and Abyss were the last two men remaining in the Fight for Your Right tournament a couple years ago, Hoyt used a moonsault and a coast-to-coast in the same match.

Undertaker on the other hand, has a nice plethora of grapples and strikes, feels it necessary to walk on the rope when performing old school, and has been known to occasionally (Wrestlemania) suicide dive over the top rope onto his opponents. These two competitors show that big men don't always have to rely on sheer power alone. Of course, Undertaker may be a little more than Hoyt can handle, but Hoyt could pull the upset.

6. Knockouts vs. Divas Tag Match

TNA: Awesome Kong, Angelina Love, Taylor Wilde, Roxxi, O.D.B. vs. WWE: Gail Kim, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, Natalya, Victoria

After the arrival of the TNA Knockouts division, the talent of the WWEDivas has been questioned by many. Pit fiveof the best Divas against five of the best Knockouts, and see who truly is the best.
