"Feuds That Never Happened?"

What feud would you would have liked to have seen that didn't happen? I would have to say HBK and The Rock, the matches and the promos would both have been awesome, what do you think?

Benoit/taker never happened either, unless they had a little something back when Benoit was a heel and 'Taker was doing his biker routine...

Vince just doesn't consider Benoit a Main Eventer, so I wouldn't hold your breath for all these feuds which would obviously be great.

Interesting, I never knew that about The Rock and HBK. The best thing about The Rock was his promos, although at everything else he isn't up to HBK's level.

I would definitely like to see a HBK and Benoit feud in the future, they'e easily the best two 'wrestlers' in the WWE and with both superstars being popular and respected I think it could work well. It would have to be an all face feud though. I'm very suprised they haven't feuded already as they've been together in the WWE for 5 years.

Another question, did Benoit and 'Taker ever have a feud?

No, Benoit and HBK were never involved with each other outside the Triple Threat angle.

As regards The Rock, IF he was ever to come back which isn't likely unless the film offers dry up, he would never work with HBK. Theres some bitterness dating back years.

If I recall correctly, HBK was the guest referee on the first episode of Smackdown in a match between the Rock and Triple H. HBK turned heel and hit the superkick on Rocky, but in a radio interview he made comments that broke kayfabe and were something along the lines of "The Rock should have done the job to Trips, like he was supposed to". Naturally, poor old HBK didn't appear on WWE TV again for at least a few months.
Then, when he kicked Booker T out of the nWo, I remember a semi shoot remark about Booker taking his spotlight just like the Rock took Hunter's.
As a result of all this(or maybe not), the Rock turned down a Wrestlemania match with HBK a few years back stating that HBK wasn't on his level.
That's right buddy, he's above you.

Couldn't agree more, he has a vast move set and is a fantastic entertainer and wrestler. Which is why I would have loved to have seen The Rock V HBK. If The Rock ever does return, I think they will utilise this feud straight away. I just hope HBK wins the title, and I think he will at vengeance. Did Benoit and HBK ever have a feud? I can only remember there triple threat with Triple H at WM20?

The beauty of HBK is that you can stick him in the ring with just about any piece of crap and they'll produce a 4 star match. Case in point: John Cena.

That's a good point, it would probably ruin the whole feud. Another feud I would have liked to have seen would have been Michaels Vs Lesnar, although I suppose because HBK missed 4 years there's probably lots of feuds he could have had but didn't.

Yeah.....but HBK is more over than Foley. If you turned HBK heel and the fans still cheered him the whole angle is a failure before it gets started.

I think HBK would be a better heel in a Foley/HBK feud, especially seeming Foley doesn't really wrestle anymore it would be strange for him to suddenly come back heel. I'd like to see Michaels interupt a Foley segment or something and challenge him to a match or something like that, it would be good as HBK has been sort of verging on Heel recently.

Foley played heel leading into One Night Stand last year and produced the best segments in years with Flair while playing heel, so not only has he done it before, he's proven that he can do it better than most.

I don't think Foley would make a good Heel, and although I prefer HBK as a face, he plays heel really well and I definitely think that he would be the better heel in that feud. I would have liked to have seen that feud, although now I could only see a one off Hardcore match or something like that.

I'd also like to see 'Taker and HBK one more time. I would also have liked to have seen a bit more of Angle and HBK, or better than that, a Hart V Angle feud. I could watch them wrestle for hours. It'd sure be better than Cena V Khali.
