Eddie Guerrero vs. Shawn Michaels Planned for WrestleMania 22

On the Bauer and Pollock show, Court Bauer and John Pollock reported that there were plans for Eddie Guerrero to go one on one with “Mr. WrestleMania,” Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 22.

On their show, the two said the following on the matter:

“We had talked about a fascinating idea. I’m not the biggest Bruce Prichard fan but to his credit, I believe it was Bruce Prichard who pitched putting Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania against Shawn Michaels …  Being the heartthrob in Mexico, and a mercurial figure south of the border, and the American version being HBK. They had never really worked before, and you would’ve had such a great dynamic between the two with heel Eddie vs. Shawn. That’d be your ‘tear the house down,’ high quality match at WrestleMania 22 in Chicago.”

“Vince was like, ‘God damn that’s really appealing. We could parallel their careers. What kind of footage do we have of Eddie outside of WCW? We could do some impressive packages.”

This match did not take place of course, due to the early passing of Eddie Guerrero in November of 2005. Instead of this match taking place, Shawn Michaels would go on to face Vince McMahon in a No Holds Barred match. Michaels would go on to win the contest.
