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

Big Poppa Pump is easily one of the most recognisable and imitable wrestlers of all time. The former tag team star broke away from his brother Rick in 1998 and went on to become one of the biggest stars of WCW's final years.

Steiner ended up back in WWE after WCW went under, but it was actually before this that he made his one and only WrestleMania appearance.

When Big Bad Booty Daddy was just a regular Booty Daddy as part of The Steiner Brothers tag team, he and Rick took on The Headshrinkers at WrestleMania IX in what was easily the match of the night. Not that they had much competition.

What's interesting about this though is how drastically different Scott's night could have been.

Pat Patterson and Bruce Prichard were apparently incredible high on Scott at the time and even pitched the idea of him winning the 1993 Royal Rumble and going on to become WWF Champion at WrestleMania IX.

However, Vince McMahon said no and Scott didn't want to break up the team with Rick, so the idea was scrapped.

Imagine how differently this WrestleMania could have been if this had happened? Maybe we wouldn't be so harsh on it nowadays. Then again, this show still had Crush vs. Doink on it, so maybe we would.
