Eddie Guerrero vs. Shawn Michaels - WrestleMania 22? Yeah. Before Eddie died that was the original plan. I believe Orton was gonna win The Royal Rumble in 2006 and face Batista at WM 22. Orton vs. Batista was rumored so I guess Batista was gonna win the title back from Eddie after dropping it to him. Then there was Kurt Angle vs. Taker. We wound up getting it a month earlier but the original plan was for it to happen at WM. WM 22 was supposed to be way better than it was. |

I don't see how a Shawn Michaels vs. Eddie Guerrero match would have worked at Wrestlemania 22. They were clearly building up a Shawn vs. Vince match with everything that was going on from December 2005 right to Wrestlemania 22. |

While this is true, keep in mind that the storyline took place a month after Eddie had died and they probably ran with Vince-Shawn considering they had nothing for HBK after Eddie's death. It's all just speculation though. I always thought Rey was going to win the Rumble anyway and they were going to run Eddie-Rey for the World title as one of the main events for 22. |

There is just no way that Eddie Guerrero vs. Shawn Michaels would have taken place at Wrestlemania 22.
Even if Eddie was still alive, my guess is Eddie would still have faced Rey one on one, and Orton would have faced Batista for the World Title.
Shawn had to fight Vince. The Bret Hart dvd just came out and the timing for Shawn vs. Vince was perfect. The only thing that could have made that match even better was for Bret to have been the referee for it.

No one wants to bite on Hogan v. Austin at Wrestlemania X8?  |

Why would Eddie face Rey? What are some Mania matches that were planned (or rumored to be planned) at some point, but were changed. I know of: Flair vs Hogan (WM 8) Savage vs Bret (WM 9 or 10) HBK vs Bret II (WM 13) Bret vs Austin II (WM 14) Angle vs Hennig (WM 18) Hogan vs Valentine w/Sheik (WM 22)HHH vs Cena II (WM 23) Hogan/Khali (WM 23) Hogan vs Shane (WM 23 or 24) I know I'm forgetting many... What?!?! Why on earth would Hogan be facing Valentine at WM 22?? It was rumored. Valentine spoke of it in an interview. Sounds like a weird match I know. |

No one wants to bite on Hogan v. Austin at Wrestlemania X8? Shame that never came to terms. Was just thinking the other night how the Toronto crowd would have reacted had it been Austin facing Hogan and not The Rock. Wasn't Austin vs. Hogan rumored for WM 22 as well? |

Eddie would face Rey probably due to the fact they had a year feud going on. I think when Eddie died a lot of plans got changed around for sure.
Wasn't Eddie scheduled to win the World Title the day he died??

Wasn't Eddie scheduled to win the World Title the day he died?? Rey and Eddie ended their feud after SS 2005. They ended their feud in a cage match and Eddie moved on to Batista after that. Rey most likely wasn't even schedualed to win the world title or win the Rumble until after Eddie's death based on the storylines. They were not going to face eachother at WM22. And Eddie was only rumored to win the world title because the WWE didn't know how bad Batista's back was. The storylines for the fall of 2005 pointed to an Orton-Batista world title match at WM22. Rey was floating around doing nothing that fall until Eddie died. |

Anyway what do you guys think they would have done at WM 20 if Brock Lesnar & Goldberg werent leaving? Would they have faced each other for the WWE Title or would they be in separate programs? Do you think Eddie would have went into WM 20 as champ? So many questions. |

Jesse "The Body" Ventura v. Vince McMahon at Wrestlemania 24.
I remember seeing an interview with Ventura where he talked about laying out this elaborate plan to face Vince at Mania 24 as a launching pad to announce his intention to become president. He said that Vince liked the idea but he never heard from him after that initial meeting. I think Vince vs. Jesse in a streetfight could have been ok.

I think Eddie was winning the title no matter what Lesnar was doing, although, if Lesnar WASN'T leaving I wouldn't doubt the idea that Eddie might've won the title AT WM XX to go along with Benoit winning the World title. Long story short, we were gonna see that hug between two world champions at the end of WM XX.

Completely forgot about these. I would have LOVED Vader vs. Makind. As for the possible Cactus/Funk match im not to sure how that would have worked. I just dont see the WWF even at that time putting on that kind of match. And as for the last one im incredibly glad that one turned out the way it did because it led to the greatest trilogy in WM history. |

Austin vs. Hogan has been rumored for so many different WrestleManias. However I never heard it being rumored for WrestleMania X8 as accordning to various sources, it was always scheduled to be Roch vs. Hogan. |

The British Bulldog for the European Title at Mania 13 rather than the useless double count out tag match we got where the partners were at odds. Oddly enough WWE cared a lot more about their tag division back then because they had to have the Titles defended at Mania. They even had a #1 contenders match for the tag belts the same night. Boy how times have changed. |

I thought of more Matches that never were.
In his shoot interview Ric Flair said he was originally supposed to face Mr. Kennedy at Mania 23, but something happened (I forget what he said) and he got put with Carlito instead.
I forget which one said it, (I'm pretty sure Shawn), but had Triple H not torn his quad in 07 and faced Cena, Shawn Michaels v.. King Booker would have been at Mania 23.

For all the people saying Eddie would have faced Rey at WM22, that makes absolutely no sense to me. They had already beaten that feud to death that year.

For this year, I remember rumblings of Edge v. Christian dating back last year until they found out the severity of Edge's injury, so the match will never happen now.
Also, Sin Cara v. Rey Mysterio & Shaq v. Big Show were rumored but don't look like they are going to take place.
