ECW Dream matches

There's been a lot of negativity surronuding the ECW brand since it started (a lot of it coming from yours truly) but now that we pretty much know how the brand is going to be handled and what it is going to comprise of, what matches/feuds would you like to see?

For me the obvious one is Sandman vs. CM Punk. Punk could come out and be the first to avoid Sandman's weekly beatings and start a feud based on Punk's straight edge beliefs vs. Sandman's drunken antics. Punk has the potential to be the new Raven for this ECW generation and what better place for him to start than feuding with one of Raven's top rivals.

Next up I'd love to see Big Show vs. Tommy Dreamer done properly. Dreamer was the heart and soul of the old ECW and Big Show personifies the new ECW with it's strong WWE links. Dreamer could defend the honour of the old ECW and as long as he was given some offence and allowed to look like a legit threat against Big Show this could really work. Dreamer doesn't even have to win any of the matches, book it like the Raven vs. Dreamer feud and constantly have Dreamer screwed out of the win.

Sabu vs. Test. Hardly a dream match, but I think Sabu could get a lot out of Test and could give the big man the same kind of credibility that he has with his feud with Cena.

The FBI vs. Kendrick/London. Anything to give th FBI something to do! Plus Smackdown has has very little to do with the ECW crossover thus far and Kendrick and London could have some great matches with these (plus they only have one set of rivals of Smackdown since the Mexicools have been split up).

Jazz vs. Trinity. Both women can go in the ring, so why not let them?

Justin Credible vs. Balls Mahoney. Two guys who've been give the short end of the stick hus far in ECW. So why not put them together and see what happens. The cane swining credible against the chair swinging Mahoney has a lot of potential with both men being much ebtter workers than WWE has allowed them to be thus far.
