10 Notable Wrestlers WWE Didn't Book For WrestleMania
7. Bam Bam Bigelow (WrestleMania 9)
Following in Bulldog's example, the mighty Bigelow was scheduled to work WrestleMania 9 against "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala, who was well into his phase as a helpless babyface. Given that Bigelow had summarily crushed The Big Boss Man two months earlier at the Royal Rumble, Kamala looked to be the next hurdle for Bammer to flatten on his way up the card. Instead, the match was also scrubbed for reasons related to time. For the next couple of years, Bigelow would enjoy some high-profile moments with the company, the apex being a $250,000 payoff for walking Lawrence Taylor through an enjoyable main event at WrestleMania 11. While Bigelow/Kamala wouldn't have guided WrestleMania 9 out of the cellar it firmly thudded in, Bigelow not making onto the show is still a small crime.
