When: WWF Saturday Night’s Main Event (8 February 1992)

This could be a controversial one, but here goes.

Wrestling will never forget that snake-biting angle Jake Roberts and Randy Savage worked on Superstars towards the end of 1991. It was one of the most shocking things that had ever happened on WWF screens, and it should've led to ultimate revenge for Randy.

'Macho Man' and his snake-loving nemesis had exactly three matches after that. One of them happened on an MSG house show special, another came at the suddenly-scheduled This Tuesday In Texas pay-per-view, and the other was in early-February 1992 on Saturday Night's Main Event. Sadly, it lasted approximately five minutes and didn't properly avenge Jake's evil behaviour.

The brief scuffle was heated, but there was something missing. If anything, their rivalry had become so violent it needed to peak on a big time pay-per-view. Vince McMahon had other plans for both come WrestleMania though, so they were landed with an uninspiring blow off.
