8. Mankind vs Steve Austin vs The Rock – WrestleMania XV
This won’t likely be a popular choice, but if you look at the landscape of the WWF heading into WM 15, there’s no doubt that Mick Foley had earned his way into making this Mania main event a three-way instead of a singles bout between Rock and Austin. Foley had matches with both main event stars the year leading up to Mania 15, and there was great chemistry between the three.
Vince McMahon always seems to like singles matches for the main event at Mania, but in this case he could have easily made the case for this to be a triple-threat, and I think the fans would have brought it as the biggest three wrestlers in the company having a match on the biggest stage.

I disagree completely on Hogan vs Flair. Even as a nine year old mark I didn’t want to see that match and loved it when it was changed to Macho Man vs Flair. Also disagree on Triple H vs Cena 2. Absolutely hated Trips back then, so seeing him in another WM title match would have crapped me out. Warrior vs Hogan 2 would have been fun, but then we wouldn’t have gotten the awesome Warrior vs Savage career ending match. Would have been interesting to see what would have happened with Macho though.
