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

2. Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior II (1991)

One of the greatest rematches that WWE never booked became a rare opportunity for WCW to capitalize on...but it was about 7 years too late. In 1990, the Intercontinental Champion challenged the WWF Champion in a title-for-title match in the main event of WrestleMania VI. It also happened to feature the first babyface vs .babyface main event. It was unprecedented. These two superstars killed it that night and fans couldn't wait to see the rematch. Plans were tentatively made to have the two headline 1991's WrestleMania and attempt to break the WrestleMania III indoor attendance record. As 1990 progressed, however, several factors caused the event to undergo changes to its card. Escalation in the Middle East, the Gulf War, the return of Sgt. Slaughter, a drop in business pinned on the Warrior's title reign were all reasons that lead to Vince McMahon's decision to feature a WrestleMania VII main event of Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter for the WWF Championship. Hogan was all but guaranteed to get his win back if the rematch with Warrior was produced by WWE, but the company would have had a much better chance at breaking their own attendance record at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum instead of having to switch venues to the LA Sports Arena under the guise of "security concerns". On the other hand, the changes resulted in one of the greatest storylines and feuds in WWE history culminating in one of the greatest moments in company history when the Ultimate Warrior faced Macho King Randy Savage in a Career Ending Match. Regardless of whether it was booked for WrestleMania VII, SummerSlam '91, or another possible date, the historical significance of Hogan/Warrior II would've surpassed almost anything else Hogan was involved in for the rest of his first WWF run.
