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

3. Bret Hart vs. Randy Savage (1993)

These two did have a match in Japan that is linked below, so technically this match was booked by WWE. However, the match still appears on this list because it did not take place on WWE television and, by 1994 standards, that basically means it never happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl9KkdZmH5Q Two of the industry's greatest workers that also had the longest tenured WWF careers by '94 still could not convince Vince McMahon to construct a program between the two willing competitors. When you really look at it, Savage's full time in-ring career came to a pretty odd and abrupt end. Macho went from headlining WrestleMania VIII and defending the WWF Championship at SummerSlam '92 to not even making it on the card at WrestleMania IX; he commentated the event instead. When Bret first won the title in '92, he was in desperate need of top-tier challengers and Macho Man could've filled that spot better than anyone. A Macho vs. Hitman WrestleMania IX main event would've been a much better contest than Yoko vs. Bret. And when considering how Vince wanted Hogan to pass the proverbial torch to Bret, Savage certainly would've made for a fine second choice. Why Vince soured on "Macho Man The Wrestler" so quickly is unclear, but it was a pretty poor decision in hindsight and it eliminated a potentially legendary program between two of the greatest workers ever.
