10 WWE Moments Everyone Was Waiting For (That Never Happened)

… yeah, it says here that it’s not.
In the 1980s Hogan and Flair were the two biggest stars in the entire wrestling world. One was the big name in WWF, the other in WCW and the entire rest of the world. When the latter finally joined the WWF in 1991 everyone assumed it was so they could finally deliver the Hogan/Flair WrestleMania main event everyone had been fantasy booking for years.
From his very debut, Flair even went after Hogan with his promos and his actions, signalling a build to the match that would take the better part of a year. Then, oh mama, a series of under-performing house show experiments made WWF scrap the idea and we got Flair vs. Savage and Hogan vs. Sid Justice instead. Which was… weird.
We did actually get the match in WCW in 1994, admittedly, but it just wasn’t the on stage it deserved. Specifically the grandest one of them all.
