Justin Young's "Past Vs. Present" No. 2

Well, there were some of you who agreed with my choices, and those who didn't, but I am back with the second installment of PvP, this time, with a couple of changes.

First, we're going to go cross-promotional. That's right, I'm taking all superstars, not just WWE.

Second, I will be listing the years of the superstars, sort of an NCAA/Madden style where you can choose the best years of your favorite franchise.

That being said, let's get this started.

Match 1: Evan Bourne (WWE-2009) vs. Billy Kidman (WCW-1998)

This would be a pretty even matchup, as both superstars are high-flying, death-defying, and masters of the Shooting Star Press.

Kidman's got seven Cruiserweight Titles to his name, and while the title has been retired, Bourne could shine even brighter, especially with wins over Kofi Kingston and Jack Swagger to his rep.

Although he is talented, I would say Bourne would fall, at least to the former Filthy Animal.

Winner: Billy Kidman by pinfall

Match 2: Honky Tonk Man (WWE-1987) vs. Jeff Jarrett (TNA-2004)

Both are former WWE Intercontinental Champions from the great state of Tennessee, both have the six-stringer as their weapon of choice, and both do what it takes to hold on to what they have, whether it's the HTM's IC Title, or Double J's power in TNA.

Both have had renowned careers, but HTM has often resorted to DQ or countout to retain a title, so in a standard match, whether it be a clean finish or otherwise, the King of the Mountain wins this one. And maybe make the cocky Elvis look-a-like eat some wood.

Winner: Jeff Jarrett by pinfall

Match 3 (by request): AJ Styles (TNA-2004) vs. Sting (WCW-1992)

Thanks to Black Snow for the request. Although these two have fought numerous times in TNA, I would love to see them in this match.

Styles, fresh off winning the NWA World Championship, against Sting, a new WCW employee having won the company's top prize as well.

I would call this a back-and-forth match, but in the end, the experience of Sting would get the better of the Phenomenal One.

Winner: Sting by submission

Match 4: Four Horsemen (WCW-1998) vs. Main Event Mafia (TNA-2009)

Who wouldn't want to see a huge stable match like this? The Four Horsemen, a group that set the stage for the nWo, DX, and Evolution, taking on their last successor, a stable known for the same thing the Horsemen were: title domination.

The Four Horsemen, in their many years, had a total of 34 title reigns among their numerous members.

Each member of the Mafia has held a world championship at least once, and they now rule TNA as they have the World Champ (Kurt Angle) and the Tag Champs (Booker and Steiner).

So how would it go? As seasoned as the Horsemen are, we have to look at the facts. The team of Angle, Booker, Steiner, and Nash all outweigh and outpower Flair, Malenko, Benoit, and Mongo. Not to mention that Flair was the only Horsemen at the time to really have anything going for him as the WCW Champion.

Order of Elimination:

1. Mongo McMichael by Scott Steiner (submission)
   
2. Dean Malenko by Kurt Angle (pinfall)
   
3. Kevin Nash by Chris Benoit (pinfall)
   
4. Booker T by Chris Benoit (submission)
   
5. Chris Benoit by Kurt Angle (pinfall)
   
6. Ric Flair by Kurt Angle (submission)
   

Winner: The Main Event Mafia

Main Event: John Cena (WWE-2009) vs. The Rock (WWE-2000)

This would be the match of a wrestling fan's dreams. Two fan favorites, both multiple-time WWE Champions, finally meeting in the ring. Both have won the title many times within just one year, and both have faced common opponents, such as Kurt Angle, Triple H, and Chris Jericho, to name a few.

Both have theatrical moves (5-Knuckle Shuffle vs. People's Elbow), and both have proven to be resilient in matches where the odds are against them.

This match will be extremely difficult to call, as if I call it one way, supporters and fans of the loser will give me hell. But since I have to call it, here goes.

Rock and Cena both hit their signatures, Rock goes for the Rock Bottom but Cena reverses and locks in the STFU. Rocky somehow manages to crawl to the ropes to break the hold. Cena lets up, hits an Attitude Adjustment, but Rock kicks out at 2.9 seconds.

Cena, frustrated, picks up Rock, but Rock hits the spinebusters and locks in the Sharpshooter, to which Cena eventually breaks and hits the STFU, in the middle of the ring, forcing the Great One to tap out.

Winner: John Cena by submission

Well, there you have it. Make sure to vote on which match you would most like to see, and as always, feel free to comment on if you think any match should've gone differently, or any match you would like to have me include next time.
