So, a while back, my brother and I were talking about what wrestlers we would like to see the stars of IWE face off against. Almost like a "dream match" sort of thing. And that's what brought upon this little game that I'm gonna try: Fantasy Warfare.
What's gonna happen is, every 2 weeks, I'm gonna name an IWE superstar or tag team. And then there will be 2 parts to it:
#1. Name a current wrestler that you would like to see face off against whoever the IWE superstar is that month.
#2. Name a past wrestler, someone who is no longer active, that you would like to see face the selected IWE superstar.
So for the first superstar, who better to pick than the brand new IWE Heavyweight Champion, Gino Martino. Here are my picks -
Active Wrestler: Mark Henry. "The Worlds Strongest Man" vs "The Man With The Thickest Skull." What a battle this would be. Two men who thrive on being the biggest and the baddest in their matches. But something would have to give. If these two were to collide, there's only one thing that would be guaranteed: It would be one of the hardest hitting matches in recent memory.
Past Wrestler: Bam Bam Bigelow. Pretty much see everything from above. Bam Bam and Gino, going one on one with each other? Wow. Of course it can never happen, obviously, but it's fun to imagine.
So what do you guys think? Which 2 wrestlers would you like to see your IWE Heavyweight Champion, face off against?

Active Wrestler: Current ROH World Champion, Kevin Steen vs. Current IWE Heavyweight Champion, Gino Martino. This would be one hell of a match. These two big men battling it out would be an awesome match to watch.
Past Wrestler: Big Van Vader vs. Gino Martino. This obviously wouldn't be too pretty of a match, but a hard hitting contest for sure.

Steen/Gino would certainly be a very interesting match. 2 big men who can move around would provide for quite an entertaining match up. As for Vader, that is a great pick, in my opinion. I probably would have went with him, had I thought of it. That would be one brutal match!

active wrestler: i would like to see gino vs. tommy dreamer in a last man standing match. it could be billed as the man you can't hurt vs. the man that can't be killed.
for my past wrestler, and i know he isn't officially retired but then again he never will be because he already tried it multiple times is terry funk.

Gino/Dreamer would be sick.

2 more very good picks, I'd say. Both matches would be awesome.
To clear something up, as far as the past wrestler, it doesn't need to be someone that's no longer wrestling at all. Just someone who's no longer prominently featured in a top company or on the indies. Like Terry Funk is perfect example of that. Another good example of that would be, someone that we've seen in IWE in the past, Honky Tonk Man.

I'm going to have to think for an active wrestler. Nothing coming to mind right off.
For my inactive I'd say Gino Martino vs. Umaga. Two big, agile men. Plus, Samoans have hard heads I hear lol.

One active wrestler I would like to see face Gino Martino would be Samoa Joe. I think this match would be fun to watch given the contrast in styles. I could easily envision this match inside a six-sided ring in mid-2000s TNA.
As for a retired wrestler, I would have liked to see Taz go to war with Gino Martino. This match totally has an original ECW vibe to it and is a license to print money. I think it would have been so cool if Gino Martino had been in the original ECW.

Both of those would be awesome GAMEFACE. Especially Taz vs. Gino. I think that would be awesome.

Yeah, definitely some more great choices being thrown out there. Umaga, Samoa Joe and Taz are all very good ones. Attitude would be flowing BIG time in a match between Gino and Taz!

That's another interesting one. One of the few opponents that Gino would go up against that would have a distinct size advantage in both height and weight. But, as we all know in wrestling, it's not always the big man that wins. One thing that is for sure though is that it would be one heck of a hard hitting confrontation.

The relentless shots from Tensai vs. The harsh head strikes from Gino. It'd definatly be a brutal match.
