TNA Dream matches

With TNA becoming increasingly stale as the approach their 2nd anniversary on pay per view, it's time they took advantage of some of the dream matches they have available to them. Let's take a look at the top dream matches/angles TNA could put on pay per view and help get them out of the creative rut they are currently in.

1. Sting vs. Samoa Joe
TNA's biggest homegrown star of the pay per view era vs. the man who helped earn TNA their slot on Spike TV. The build has begun for this after the tag match at Sacrifice 2006 and this has the potential to be TNA's biggest drwaing match of all time. The question is how soon do they go this feud. Is Joe ready to hold down his end of a main event angle and should the NWA title be involved to give this match even more prestige?

2. Chris Daniels/AJ Styles vs. AMW (6 Sides of Steel)
The best match at Sacrifice which could have been a truly great match if it had a clean finish. Chris Daniels and Elix Skipper had one of the best matches of TNA's short history when they faced AMW at Turning Point '04 and AJ Styles is a much better worker than Skipper has ever been.

3. End Samoa Joe's unbeaten run and create a new X Division superstar.
Joe vs. Senshi will be a dream match if their previous battles in ROH are any evidence. However my personal favourite for choice to end Joe's reign would be Chris Sabin. Sabin is a man who has been given a generous push over the past 6 - 12 months, however he needs that big win to help cement his position as a big-time X-Division star. (Alas I have a feeling that a pyrrhic victory over Kevin Nash may not quite achieve this based on Nash's previous record of putting over smaller men.)

4. Christian Cage/ Jeff Hardy vs. Team 3D
Four of the unsung stars from WWF's most succesful period in 2000/2001. The TLC matches are modern classics, so why not make the most of that reputation and put these four men in the ring one more time. Pairing Christian the work horse with Hardy the spot-mahcine means that the teams will not be unbalanced by the lack of Hardy and Cage's regular partners. Perhaps it's time to make Matt Hardy once again regret his decision to re-join WWE by putting on the great match that should have been his in TNA.

5. Senshi takes over the X Division
Despite the fantastic matches they put on, the Joe/AJ/Daniels feud created a gulf between the the established X Division guys and those challenging for the title. Who better to undo that gulf than Senshi/Low-ki. Established X Division talent like Chris Sabin, SONjay Dutt, Petey Williams and Jay Lethal were not around for Ki's first run in TNA, so pairing them up with the newly debuted Senshi would create fresh match ups thaty could relight the fire under the X Division. Senshi also has the one thing that a lot of a X Division guys don't have, a well-rounded personality. Perhaps his honourable martial arts based persona can help make more out of some of the 'blander' X Division characters.

6. Rhino vs. Scott Steiner
The last ECW champion vs. one of the last WCW champions. Rhino is a strong enough worker that he could cover the gaps in Steiner's ring ability and these two power houses could have a very strong, brawling feud that would be a dran sight more entertaining than forcing The War Machine to try and get good matches out of Bobby Roode!

7. Sting vs. Abyss
The two masked men of TNA. If Sting is genuine about wanting to help TNBA create new stars then Abyss is one man who could do with a touch of the Stinger magic. A mic battle between Sting and James Mitchell would also lead to some fantastic interviews.

8. Team 3D turned heel
Put simply, the former Dudley Boyz just aren't as entertaining without the fan baiting insults. They would need a strong babyface team to work against, however a bit of vindictiveness and edge is just what these guys need to get them out of their current rut.

9. Samoa Joe vs. AJ Styles vs. Chris Daniels
TNA's most critically acclaimed match from the past 12 months. After the anti-climax of their Ultimate X match this match was given a break, however this is a feud which TNA could quickly return to down the line to guaruntee a strong outing. Especially seeing as each man has one win over the other. A cage or ladder match could provide the fitting climax to this epic feud.

10. More indie talent brought in.
Guys like Alex Shelley, and Jay Lethal have had some success. However guys such as Roderick Strong, Austin Aries, Colt Cabana, Matt Sydal, Jack Evans, Jay and Mark Briscoe, Jimmy Rave and Prince Nana offer even more to the TNA product and should be given the chance to convert strong independent reputations into more mainstream exposure.
