13 Classic Matches That Should Have Happened At WrestleMania

By Eric Delgado /

12. €œMacho Man€ Randy Savage vs. Ricky €œThe Dragon€ Steamboat 2 €“ WrestleMania 4

It€™s kind of hard to get in the ring and top a performance that is widely considered one of the greatest matches of all-time, but if any two professional wrestlers could do it, it€™s Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat. After losing his Intercontinental Championship to Steamboat in their classic at WrestleMania 3, Savage soon became a fan favorite. Heading into WrestleMania 4, he was chosen by Vince McMahon to win the tournament for the vacant WWF Championship. Savage€™s path to championship glory saw him win four matches against opponents Butch Reed, Greg €œThe Hammer€ Valentine, One Man Gang, and €œThe Million Dollar Man€ Ted DiBiase. So why not a rematch with Steamboat? If you look at the bracket, Steamboat and Savage could have met in the second round to give fans a second helping of off-the-wall competition. A babyface vs. babyface showdown between Mach€™ and the guy who pinned him for the Intercontinental title the year before would have been outstanding. Throw in a sportsmanlike handshake after and you've got yourself another WrestleMania Moment. Instead, Greg €œThe Hammer€ Valentine pinned Steamboat clean in the middle of the ring.
