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

4. Bret Hart vs. Ultimate Warrior (1993)

In his book Hitman: My Real Life In The Cartoon World Of Wrestling, Bret Hart spoke of his initial hopes for the main event of WrestleMania IX to end with the Ultimate Warrior submitting to the Sharpshooter. Bret had won his first of 5 WWF Championships in October of '92 and Vince was serious about positioning Bret as his top guy since the Hitman did not resemble a pumped-up steroid abuser during a time when Vince was being scrutinized by the federal government. So a tentative plan of Bret Hart vs. Ultimate Warrior for the WWF Championship is very possible. It's also possible that this wast just wishful thinking on the part of the Hitman since Warrior left the company shortly after Bret won the title. Regardless of whether it was actually planned or not, the two wrestling icons could've made for a marquee WrestleMania main event. WrestleMania IX is considered one of the worst WrestleManias ever and much of it has to do with the conclusion. Bret vs. Yoko preceded an impromptu second title match in which Hulk Hogan hi-jacked the main event and won his 5th WWF Championship in under a minute. With all the options possible just six months prior, the WrestleMania IX main event was a complete disappointment. Bret vs. Warrior would've been a definite upgrade and it would have been interesting to see exactly what kind of match the Excellence of Execution could have gotten out of the Warrior.
