Regardless of star power or skill, some wrestlers just don't click in combination with one another.

#4 Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect

Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect had an uncharacteristic stinker at SummerSlam 1993. — Shawn Michaels and Mr Perfect had an uncharacteristic stinker at SummerSlam 1993.

1993 was a rough year for WWE as the company struggled to find its identity and get the generation of stars ready for the spotlight. An Intercontinental Championship program between Shawn Michaels and Mr Perfect seemed like a recipe for success, pitting a future main eventer — HBK — against one of the best in-ring performers available in Perfect.

Their issue started with a backstage confrontation at WrestleMania 9 and came to a head with a title match at SummerSlam.

Sadly, Michaels and Perfect didn’t click it all, putting on a snooze of a match with a dirty finish. Maybe WWE booked the non-finish with the intention of having the rivalry continue.

Regardless of the original plan, no one was exactly clamouring for a rematch after that first lacklustre bout. The program mercifully came to a close from there as the two men never had a high profile match again.
