I think having Hogan/Quake, Hogan/Perfect or honestly even Hogan/Warrior rematch at Mania 7 would have been better than Slaughter. Agreed. While I like heel Slaughter, I think WM7 should have been the Hogan/Warrior rematch. Rather than rely on a real war to draw for their event (which is funny considering Desert Storm ended over a month before WM7), Hogan/Warrior had a ton of potential. Would Warrior be able to knock off Hogan a 2nd time, or would Hogan prove the previous year was a fluke? The story writes itself. I love Quake but by WM7 Hogan had bested him at SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and at the Rumble. I think that feud had run its course by then. Perfect would have been great against Hogan but I don’t think it had the drawing power of a Hogan/Warrior rematch. Outside of a straight up rematch from WM6, I think the other huge matchup they could have built was Hogan/Warrior/Savage. No they weren’t doing triple threats back then but you have the three biggest stars of the last 4 years finally going at it all at once. I feel like we missed out on a lot of big match ideas over the years due to the lack of triple threats. Undertaker/Shawn/Bret after SS97 would have been explosive! |

Taker recently did an interview where he talks about the screw job. He’s still curious why Vince never considered inserting him into the feud where he could take the belt from Bret and drop it to Shawn a month later, or like you said, make it a triple threat where he eats the pin or they tell a story of Taker and HBK double teaming Bret to beat him. Vince gets the belt off Bret, Bret leaves with his head held high, and HBK still ends up with the belt. I agree we missed out on a lot of potential triple threat matches. Even as recent as the last decade. Hogan/Warrior/Macho Man Taker/Bret/HBK Austin/Rock/HHH Austin/Rock/Mankind HHH/Angle/Brock Cena/Batista/Lashley |

Hogan/Warrior/Macho Man Taker/Bret/HBK Austin/Rock/HHH Austin/Rock/Mankind HHH/Angle/Brock Cena/Batista/Lashley I think it’s because the match type hadn’t really been established yet as anything more than a 1 time special match. The first Triple Threat match in WWF was only around 4 months prior to the Survivor Series. They probably saw it like the Ladder Match or Hell in the Cell at that time, just another specialty match they’d do maybe 1 time a year. |

Can’t believe I forgot them (probably because I love Bret/Owen so much I wouldn’t want to loose that). |
