Some of the greatest wrestlers in history have never had their WrestleMania moment.

According to WWE, it is every wrestler's dream to have their big moment at WrestleMania.

Standing in a ring in front of tens of thousands of people, ready to go to war with your mortal enemy. That's got to feel pretty damn incredible.

Stone Cold and The Rock, Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant, Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker. There are so many amazing rivalries that culminated at WrestleMania, always in big one-on-one matches.

Equally, you also get terrible singles matches at WrestleMania, such as Terri Runnels vs. The Kat, Earthquake vs. Adam Bomb, or Michael Cole vs. Jerry Lawler.

If all of those matches seem unfair, then you just wait until you hear which legendary wrestlers never got their one-on-one shot at the Show of Shows.

Not getting a singles match at WrestleMania is not a reflection on the wrestlers themselves. It's more of a reflection on their storylines at the time, their position in the company, or even just a bit of bad luck that befell them at the wrong time.

The following ten performers are all great in their own way, but never had an opportunity to show that in a showcase match at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Prepare for some shocks.

10. Dolph Ziggler

Stop me if you've heard this one before, but Dolph Ziggler is the perennial bridesmaid of WWE.

Always seemingly on the cusp of greatness, Ziggler's pushes have been more on-and-off than John Cena and Nikki Bella's relationship.

He's had some great feuds in his time, against the likes of The Miz and Alberto Del Rio. However, none of these coincided with a WrestleMania.

In his seven WrestleMania matches since 2010, Dolph has been involved in Money in the Bank , tag team matches, and battle royals, but never in a one-on-one programme.

The best opportunity for Ziggler arguably came in 2013. Ziggler was still Money in the Bank holder when WrestleMania 29 rolled around, but was involved in a feud with tag team champions, Team Hell No.

The next night, Ziggler cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to become World Heavyweight Champion, a day too late for a major 'Mania match.

Whilst there's still time for this to change, Ziggler has never been at the same 2013 peak and probably never will be again. It looks like Ziggler's chances of a WrestleMania moment have been Superkicked out of existence.
