Why did it never pan out? I take it neither wanted to lose to one another? Probably Also let's face it, the match would have been dreadful. |

It's something Hogan has been politicking for but Austin already hated Hogan thanks to their WCW time and this happened. Hogan went on his own, doing this on the show trying to pressure Austin into the match and all it did was piss off Austin who completely shut the door on ever working with Hogan. |

Wrestlemania 22 was so bittersweet.
It truly felt like the last Mania where we had someone getting their big moment for the first time in Rey Mysterio. It was also the last time where Mania wasn't JUST a spectacle, as several matches had a good story going in.
At the same time, we lost so many greats between 21 and 22. Christian quit. Jericho quit. Eddie died. Batista was injured. It could have been so much better despite still being great.

Eddie/HBK would have had the chance to be the gold standard of pure no BS Wrestlemania matches. Just two of the best going out for 20-25 minutes and tearing the house down.

WWE would have ruined it by throwing a gimmick in there.
Eddie vs HBK......strap-match, or something

That was the plan. Take that card, throw in the street fight between Edge and Foley, Mickie vs. Trish, and the Money in the Bank match... I just got chills. Would the plan have been to have Rey in MITB? As the triple threat WHC was not the original plan. And would Orton vs Batista mean Orton winning the Rumble? |

Batista was out injured at the time, wasn't he? Yeah, torn tricep. Made worse by the fact that he kept going a few months longer than he really should with it. And one of the reasons he did that was because Eddie's death left another hole in Smackdown's card. |
