Did Shawn Michaels ever wrestle Chris Benoit one-on-one during the mid-2000s? I know they wrestled each other in a 3-way match at Wrestlemania (which featured HHH), but did they ever go at it one-on-one? If so, please name the event(s) and whether it/they were any good.

I'm pretty sure they did. I think it was a Monday Night Raw during Benoit's title reign. I recall Triple H jumping in the ring, Pedigreeing HBK then jumping over the barricade to a seat he was sitting in trying to look innocent

I recall them wrestling the week after Michaels added himself to the Mania title match and Benoit losing clean.

It was the Raw of February 16th, 2004.

HHH's interference notwithstanding, was the match any good? I'd expect it to be phenomenal, given the talent involved.

They had two Raw matches in 2004, the first being where Michaels ended the winning streak Benoit had been building up since coming to Raw.
The second was after Backlash, where Triple H jumped the barricade to cost Michaels, helping to set the stage for their Hell in a Cell match at Badd Blood.
I remember both matches being pretty decent, what you would expect from those two.

Yea, they had a very good match on RAW shortly before Wrestlemania 20. I specifically remember this match because Shawn did a moonsault from the top rope to the outside. Great spot. Raw was constantly featuring really good 20 minute matches during this time period.

I remember Benoit had a title defense against Michaels that was hyped up as a Showdown in the Desert or something to that effect. It was around May-ish or so.

2004 was a great year for wrestling, it seemed. Benoit was finally being pushed in the WWF, and CZW was doing great, entering its golden year in 2005.
