Big Show/Hogan in 2007, while being quite lackluster wrestling-wise, would have drawn a lot.

I'd say Benoit/Brock at WMXX. Even though the triple threat match was awesome, I think they could have put on a better match at the grandest stage of them all. But nope..they had Benoit jump to Raw and go after a belt with little value. I remember at the time I was hoping that they'd set it up similar to WMX and have Brock face Cena early in the night, and the winner would face Benoit in the main event.

I think, to a degree, much like Ladder or TLC matches... Undertaker vs Mankind II in the HIAC would deliver some Wrestlemania moments. But really foley gave enough in his sole HIAC appearance. I personally feel WWE dropped the ball when they could have had Shawn Michaels vs The Rock at WM XX. I mean, Triple H was World Champion, Shawn Michaels could have easily been paired up with The Rock, and well... that never happened. It's really hard to call, but I think the fact Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, never faced eachother at Wrestlemania 21 is a damn shame. It'd have been a great match, as both stood in the ring as friends the year prior, now opponents the following year. Supposedly The Rock refuses to work with HBK, because Michaels held him back in his early days. Well yeah, but still... if The Rock is coming in for 1 last hurrah, why make him anything but a selling point? Yes I'm aware the match was special due to The Rock returning, but would have been more if it was, say... Rock vs Michaels, Rock vs Batista, Rock vs Orton, hell even Rock vs Flair.

Here we go:
Piper/Hogan would have been nice at WM 1 or WM 2
Hogan/Flair WM 8 and Savage/Sid at WM 8
Luger/Bret WM 10
HBK/Bret - WM 13
HBK/Rock could have happened at WM 20 they were both there and HBK could have not been in the triple threat match and could have face Rock, and Foley could have faced Orton one on one
Perfect/Angle - WM 18 was the Perfect chance
Angle/Orton - WM 22

Of course Hogan and Bret would have won all those match ups. Perfect would have put angle over and I could be wrong but I doubt Rock would have let Shawn get over on him.

I still don't know why they didn't go ahead with Hogan/Austin at WMX8. Until the NWO came to the WWE, I never heard anyone say they wanted to see Hogan/Rock. Throughout the Monday Night Wars, the dream match was always Austin/Hogan (and Austin/Goldberg for a while after his WCW debut). And while not a WM match, it's a damn shame we never got to see the Austin/Rock/Triple H match that was booked for Survivor Series '99. I read somewhere (don't remember where) that Hogan vs Austin didn't happen because they couldn't decide a winner, since Hogan wanted to win and Austin wanted to win too. Later, Hogan agreed to lose to Rock.

WM 8 was one of my favorite events, and a card of Hogan/Flair, Savage/Roberts, and Sid/Taker would have been sick. But it got me thinking about another great match at that event that we DID see that might NOT have happened: Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper.
Bret was supposed to face Mountie at Rumble 92, but because of a contract dispute (I think) Bret dropped it to him at a house show using the "flu" storyline and Piper was given the belt at RR. Bret then came back and got the title back from Piper at WM. Had there never been a problem, Bret would have faced Mountie at RR and possibly again at WM instead of Piper, which turned out to be a classic match.
Are there any other matches you can think of that kind of happened by accident or by circumstance?

Supposedly they didn't think they could trust him for such a big match( which is true, since he walked out shortly after).

A match I would have liked to have seen is Goldberg vs The Undertaker but when The Undertaker had the American Badass gimmick, no chance of this ever happening at a WM though cause Goldberg debut the day after WM 19 and finshed up at WM XX when the Undertaker was coming back with the deadman gimmick. Also Triple H vs The Rock should have headlined WM 16/2000 not the fatal 4 way they booked, the 4 way should have only been used if Foley was to win the title in his "final match" then retire. But the McMahons egos needed massaging so there you go.

Hogan vs Flair at 8, Triple H vs Cena at 23, Hogan vs Zeus at 6, and HBK vs Hart at 13 were all supposed to happen. Personally, the only one I really think we should've seen was Hogan vs Flair. Hey, Taker vs Sid, Macho Man vs Jake Roberts, and Flair vs Hogan would've been one hell of a card back in 1992. Wow, if Hogan vs. Zeus had headlined WM 6, that would've sucked. I definitely think WWF dropped the ball with Hogan vs. Flair at WM 8. I don't know how they would've done it, but they could've made that one match bigger than Hogan vs. Andre.

Austin/Hogan is a match that would have been big money for WWE. I'm surprised they went with Rock/Hogan instead of Austin/Hogan at WrestleMania. Also HBK vs The Rock is a WrestleMania match that would of been great as mentioned.
I agree with everyone that said WWE dropped the ball on Hogan/Flair at WrestleMania 8 and Angle/Perfect at WrestleMania X8.

In hogan's book he said vince was pissed at him over his hollywood gigs and that's why he didn't face Flair for the belt. In Flair's book he said HE was supposed to win the match but Savage pissed and moaned till vince went with him to win. Makes sense too since you have Hogan winning in the main event two big winners kind of takes the air out of the main event after savage won.

WM 8 Hogan Vs Flair Thats the biggest missed chance I think WWE ever had. I honestly think that that main event could have been bigger then Hogan vs Andre....It was the 2 biggest names for well over 10+ years and Sid Justice had to ruin it!! Sid didn't ruin anything, unless you're talking storyline wise. Hogan took the match with Sid over the match with Flair because he wanted time off after WM 8, and winning the title match over Flair obviously wasn't going to give him that.

Shawn probably didn't see him as someone who commanded respect, so he treated him like just another young guy destined to fail (well, the face gimmick did at the time). I really don't think this match will ever happen, which is a shame, but if their past is true, then I think the Rock should just put it behind him and move on. After all, he did become a bigger star than Shawn Michaels in the end.
