World Wrestling Entertainment undeniably has a global fan-base. These fans love the art, and wholeheartedly show their love for the performers, but they also never shy away from expressing their displeasure over the content. WWE creative has been brutally trolled and literally destroyed over social media platforms in recent times for the poor quality of WWE's flagship shows.

To be precise, pro-wrestling fans have a huge say in the business. In fact, the whole trade is dependent on the reaction that fans give to the product. WWE understands that they need to keep the fans happy to stay relevant.

However, WWE fans are not easy to please. Their mood swings can give people in the most unstable relationships a run for their money. Yet, the love for the sport keeps them praying for some wishes to come true. But wishes have to often remain unfulfilled. Such is life.

Here are 3 such fans' wishes that can never come true.

Honorable mention: Sting vs. Undertaker

'The icon' versus 'The Phenom' is a dream match that should have happened a long time ago. It had been the ultimate dream match for wrestling fans, but it couldn’t ever happen; and now, it will never happen. The time has already passed for this dream to become reality..

Although this dream match has lost the aura it once had, it deserves an honorable mention.

#3 CM Punk in WWE

CM Punk makes it to the top of every 'former WWE stars we want to return' list.

However, 'the best in the world’ has shown no interest in a WWE return since walking away from the company in 2014.

Although, Punk has been dearly missed by wrestling fans, with his name still being chanted during wrestling events. But, Punk's separation from his former employer was one of the most controversial exits in recent times. It wasn't good for anyone involved. Moreover, Punk is happy with he has achieved in his wrestling career. He is happy where he is and all that he has earned.

The only hope for his return could have been in the fact that Punk’s UFC career hasn’t been a success. While that's true, but Punk still has things to do outside of the wrestling business. The man looks financially secure and even if he has to or ever wants to wrestle in the squared-circle again, he will find enough great deals and opportunities in companies not named World Wrestling Entertainment.

So, the writing on the wall says: CM Punk will never return to WWE again.

#2 John Cena turns heel

John Cena is the most polarizing draw in the history of WWE. The man has incredible talent and unmatched work ethic. It was how he had worked his way to the top of WWE, where he stood as 'THE' man for well over a decade. He had been, and continues, to be a craze among children. However, the adults have spent an entire decade, if not more, pleading for the champ to turn heel.

But... news flash: John Cena will never turn heel.

Long-time wrestling fans have seen Hogan turn. They have been witness to Steve Austin’s handshake with his ‘evil’ boss. Fans have even seen Daniel Bryan turn to the dark side, yet Cena has always been the good guy.

While a turn for the man would be huge, but Cena is a part-timer now, juggling between wrestling and movies. It is this truth that kills all possibilities of any more turns and gimmick changes for the legend anymore.

Moreover, he is a role model, and a ‘make-a-wish’ champ for too many young children to be shown in grey-light. He is one of the most believable heroes in the business. It makes sense for him to forever remain the superhero that children deserve.

#1 The re-emergence of the Attitude Era

This is the most extravagant item on a long-time fan’s wish-list. We love to look back at the days when Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Brothers of Destruction among others made weekly appearances on our TV screens. The show's hardcore and fun nature tickled the right chords among fans. No one disagrees that it was a phenomenal era for the company.

However, WWE has moved on from those days, catering to family audiences now. More Children follow today's product than ever before. Hence, overly hardcore stuff or matches like ‘bra & panties' have no place at present.

Fans can't complain, as performer-safety measures have greatly improved, and WWE's women get to wreak havoc inside ‘Hell in a Cell’ matches now. In addition, the wrestling talent is on an all-time high, and the company has huge TV and sponsorship deals across the globe. Hence, the move-on has been successful, and WWE will never have to look back.

To conclude, we must acknowledge WWE for having found ways to entertain the fans, and for fulfilling many of the wishes, but the wishes in this list will never come true.
