Yeah, we know about Savage, Rock, Austin, Michaels, Taker, Be***t, Bret, Jericho, Angle, etc.

But there's some that never quite had that standout, remembered Mania match despite their skill level. They mighta had some good ones, or decent ones, but never any great enough to be mentioned as classics.

Mr. Perfect stands out as never having one.

He had Blue Blazer/Owen at V... good match, but it was basically a nice 5-minute match obviously meant to give Perfect a win over a glorified jobber.

Beefcake at Mania VI... Beefcake had gotten good by then, but not THAT good.

Bossman at Mania VII... no big deal. If anyone remembers the match, it's probably for Andre's return appearance.

Luger at IX... actually, one of the few good matches on the card. But it's probably only remembered as a good match on an otherwise weak show.

And that's all for him. Best match he was ever involved in at Mania was managing Flair against Savage at VIII. Perfect never got a shot to drop a classic at WM. :to:

There's some others too... add on...

Haitch.

Although I heavily enjoyed his match with Taker at this past WM, in retrospect that was more due to Shawn's antics.

Luger and Beefcake were great wrestlers? :what: :troll:

No...

those were Perfect's opponents at the Manias he wrestled at.

The Taker match at Mania 17 was great... and I'd say the one this year was too.

He had the triple threat with Be***t and HBK at WM20... it's forgotten now cause it's a Be***t match, but it was def. a memorable one.

And I'd even say the Cena one at 22. It's memorable because it was probably the most vocal (at that point) the crowd was with the split reaction to Cena, and it was the match that solidified Cena as their top star.
