10 Great Wrestlers Who Never Had A One-On-One Match At WWE WrestleMania

The ECW legend debuted in spectacular fashion in 2000, when he ended Kurt Angle's undefeated streak at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. However, things began to cool off pretty quickly for The Human Suplex Machine.

Less than four months after humiliating Angle, Tazz found himself making his first appearance at WrestleMania. In a Hardcore Battle Royal. Alongside thirteen other guys. Not exactly a warm welcome.

Tazz's star in the WWF only dropped further after this. He teamed with The Acolytes to take on Right To Censor at WrestleMania X-Seven, and yes, Tazz was very much the sixth wheel in this match.

Tazz was phased out of in-ring action and became Michael Cole's new best friend on SmackDown's commentary. Aside from a few sporadic matches, he was basically retired by 2002, and his chance of a WrestleMania moment had gone.

WWE didn't know what to do with a wrestler as unique as Tazz and so let his potential go to waste. Also, he was from ECW, which was Vince McMahon's equivalent of kicking a kitten.

A classic example of an outside talent being held down in the WWF, Tazz could have given us plenty of great WrestleMania moments if he was just given the chance.
