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

12. Hart Foundation vs. Legion Of Doom (1991)

Fans often complain about the lack of a true payoff to the short-lived Legion of Doom vs. Demolition program in 1990, but considering Demolition's position in the company, the outcome was a no-brainer. An LOD match with fellow fan-favorites and equally popular Hart Foundation should've been the match WWE planned for. The Hart Foundation was going to be split up following WrestleMania VII with Bret finally ready to receive his long-promised singles push. Despite the seeds having already been planted at SummerSlam '90 for a future LOD vs. Hart Foundation title match, it was the Nasty Boys who received the WrestleMania title shot after eliminating LOD in a battle royal to determine the #1 contenders. The would-be transitional champions, Brian Knobbs and Jerry Sags, went over the Hart Foundation at WrestleMania VII and won the titles only to lose them to Hawk & Animal at SummerSlam '91. The Nastys are legends themselves and their matches with both teams proved to be memorable, but a match pitting two of the greatest tag teams in the history of pro-wrestling was a missed opportunity that WWE could've booked at any point from the Summer of 1990 through the Spring of 1991 with WrestleMania VII being the best option.
