While in quarantine, I went down a Youtube rabbit hole of old WWF/WWE dark matches and found one from early 2002 that was Brock Lesnar vs. Mr. Perfect. This was such a clash of two different eras that it blew my mind to see those two in the ring together. Brock was at the very beginning of his career, and Curt was sadly near the end of his life. Does anyone have any other examples or videos of odd combinations of guys from two completely different eras fighting against each other?
2002 is a great year for this as it was the transition out of the Attitude era and the WCW contracts preventing some bigger names from appearing sooner expired.
I took a break from wrestling around this time so have had the same reaction upon seeing Mr. Perfect and DDP.
In WCW’s dying days AJ Styles (and Air Paris) faced Alex Wright & Disco Inferno.
