10 Classic Wrestling Rivalries That Would Have Flourished In The Attitude Era
4. Vader Vs Cactus Jack
Vader and Cactus Jack's brand of early-1990s brutality was so visceral that WCW elected to leave the hardest-hitting bits of the back catalogue in a notoriously disorganised archive. It took a Mick Foley DVD boxset to reveal the true nature of their violence, and only enhanced regrets that the pair weren't given free reign during their shared stint in WWE.
Despite briefly working together as partners and rivals between 1996 and 1998, the two didn't ever have a brawl befitting the carnage they were capable of. Unfortunately, by the time Vince McMahon had confidence in Foley to nearly murder himself on a weekly basis, he'd lost faith in Vader as a killer.
Just a month before Mankind's famous flight from atop the Hell In A Cell structure, 'The Mastodon' referred to himself as a "fat piece of s**t" following defeat to the 'Deranged One's newest ally Kane. He was anything but, but his real-life confidence neared the depths of the scripted decline, and he was gone from the organisation completely by the end of the year.
