15 Biggest Matches WWE Should've Booked In The 90s (But Didn't)

5. Randy Savage vs. Shawn Michaels (1995)

Tell me this, what would have been a better main event for WrestleMania XI: Lawrence Taylor vs. Bam Bam Bigelow or Shawn Michaels vs. Macho Man Randy Savage? According to Lanny Poffo, the Macho Man's brother and former WWE Superstar The Genius, this program was pitched to Vince by Randy prior to leaving the company. It's no secret that Savage was no longer being positioned as a full-time wrestler in '94, and that did not sit well with him. When he was commentating in 1994, Saage still thought he had a lot of gas still in the tank, which his career in WCW proved, and he wasn't expecting to be positioned as the focal point of the company. He was willing to put the younger stars over to help improve and give back to the business. Lanny has stated that Savage wanted to work a long program with Michaels since he recognized the talent and potential of the Heartbreak Kid and thought he could have some incredible matches with Shawn. The feud would culminate in a WrestleMania match in which Savage would put his career on the line and lose. The last and only time Savage had risked his career was also at a WrestleMania, and it went down as one of the greatest matches in WrestleMania history and was the culmination to the greatest storyline in WWE history. Vince shut down the idea and fans were robbed of seeing the original Mr. WrestleMania vs. the official Mr. WrestleMania.
