Thought Of The Day: Missed Masterpieces Of The 80s
Barry Windham vs. Randy Savage
Ted DiBiase vs. Tito Santana
To the best of my knowledge, neither match ever happened. Tito vs. Ted might have on some house show but I’m 99% positive that Windham vs. Savage never did, at least not when it would have been great (read as before 1989ish when Windham just stopped trying). Imagine either of these matches getting 20 minutes and see if you don’t smile a little.
Bret vs Savage?
We got that on a SNME.
Man, I don’t remember that at all. Which SNME was it?
Hmm…..what Saturday Night’s Main Event was it? If only there was an e-book answering whatever you wanted to know about SNME…..oh wait:

Why yes that is a book I wrote with every answer you could possibly need.
Like the answer to this question, which is XIII.
DiBiase vs Santana:
I figured it would have happened somewhere.
Those two matches mentioned at the top would’ve been great matches to be sure, and the DiBiase vs. Santana match may have happened on a house show definitely. I would like to throw a few picks here that would’ve been great in the 80s:
Flair vs. Hogan (Can you IMAGINE this match at Wrestlemania in the 80s?? Man…..)
Hogan vs. Jake Roberts (With Jake being a heel and Hogan being the face, this would’ve been very good)
Demolition vs. The Legion of Doom
Arn Anderson vs. Ricky Steamboat
The Rockers vs. Strike Force
Just to name a few.
