10 Times WWE Missed Opportunities To Create Lasting Main Event Superstars

10. Crush Vs. Randy Savage (WrestleMania X)

If there's one thing Vince McMahon has been consistent with throughout his 30+ years as promoter of WWE, it's the way he books aging talent on their way out the door. Typically, they go out on their backs, losing like like Hogan did in '93, Bret in '97, Austin in 2003, Michaels in 2010, or The Undertaker in 2014 and 2015.

Ironically, that wasn't the case with Randy Savage; his WWF in-ring career had already wound down by the time he defeated Crush at WrestleMania X. Crush had the look and size that WWE typically scouts as a headliner, but the company missed their biggest opportunity with him at WrestleMania X.

Before his legal troubles in 1995, Crush had been built up strongly, especially since turning heel in late '93. A victory over the Macho Man, especially at WrestleMania, could've catapulted Crush to the main event.

McMahon had no plans for Savage and no longer viewed him as an active competitor, so the decision to put Randy over, and not Crush, stands out as unique.

Crush was abysmal - but then so was Mabel. Workrate wasn't his primary concern in the New Generation era.
