10 Legendary WWE Feuds That Never Had A Payoff

10. Jake Roberts Vs. Earthquake (1991)

When longtime WWE fans think of 1991, it's often in a positive light since some of WWE's most memorable storylines and matches took place during those 12 months.

There's so much greatness contained in 1991 that fans often forget some programs that don't get as much attention as they should. Earthquake and Jake Roberts is one of those forgotten feuds and it got off to a hot start.

The feud began when Earthquake "squashed" Jake's pet python, Damien, in the Spring and later fed Damien to Lord Alfred Hayes (in the form of "Quakeburgers") on an episode of Prime Time Wrestling. Surely, Jake vs. Earthquake could've be penciled in for SummerSlam, but by the time August rolled around, both men were on to bigger and better things.

Quake would shift his attention to Andre The Giant before moving on to the tag team division, forming the Natural Disasters with Tugboat now known as Typhoon.

Perhaps spawned by the loss of Damien, Jake would actually turn heel by SummerSlam after betraying The Ultimate Warrior (but more on that later).

The Snake and Quake never managed to settle their differences and were actually scheduled to partner up just a few months later at the Survivor Series, but a payoff between these two should have taken place yet never did.
