10 WWE Stars Who Would Have Won Money In The Bank In The 1990s

1995 was not a good year for the World Wrestling Federation. The Monday Night Wars had began, and as such the company saw a lot of talent continue to move over to WCW. A look at the roster for the Royal Rumble, King of the Ring and Survivor Series elimination matches doesn't give much away regarding a top quality seven-man ladder match showcase too.

1995 was the year that we saw King Mabel after all, and the likelihood of seeing the big man in a ladder match back then was pretty slim. The man he defeated in the King of the Ring final would certainly be found in the match however, and that man was Savio Vega.

He might not get much in the way of post-career love, but Savio was a more than solid performer in the upper midcard during these desperate times.

Savio would come agonisingly close to winning the case, but in 1995 that honour may very well have gone to someone like Bam Bam Bigelow. Bam Bam had a strange 1995, a year that saw him take part in the main event of WrestleMania XI before being relegated to a run-in in the main event and a dark match at the next pay-per-view.

Bam Bam was involved in top tier stories throughout the year, so I'm giving him the case. The roster was pretty miserable at the time, so let's add The Roadie, Hakushi, Adam Bomb and Kama into the match. Actually, you know what, throw Mabel in there too.

That match looks horrible.
