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

11. Randy Savage vs. Mr. Perfect (1992)

This discussion should be prefaced with the acknowledgement that Curt Hennig was on the shelf for most of 1992 with a serious back injury and so any additional matches for him this year would've required a change of fate. But had Hennig been healthy enough to compete inside the ring more in '92, a program with Savage following Randy's WrestleMania VIII title victory would've been the next logical arc in the 1992 plans for the Macho Man. After becoming the WWF Champion for a second time at WrestleMania VIII, Savage continued his feud with Flair but would end up facing the Ultimate Warrior at SummerSlam '92 for the title. Knowing how that match turned out and how plans had to be changed at the last minute when Warrior refused to turn heel, it would've made sense to pencil in Perfect as the SummerSlam challenger instead and, perhaps, the next WWF champion. Aside from the fantastic possibility of Mr. Perfect getting a run as WWF Champion, Perfect could've worked some all-time classic matches with Savage. After a long program in which the two men earned each other's respect, the company could've booked an angle where Perfect still feuds with Flair and Heenan like he did and the split could've come during or after a championship loss to the Hitman. This would've allowed Vince to keep Perfect in the ring, protect Savage without putting the belt back on him (something he clearly didn't want to do), and still crown Bret his new king of the anti-steroid era.
