10 Things You Didn't Know About WWE WrestleMania 20

2. The Main Event Was Going To Be A Ladder Match

Despite being a stacked card comprising twelve whole matches, there were very few 'gimmicks' on display at WrestleMania XX. 

The only real stipulation bout was the Playboy Evening Gown match, a short affair designed to co-promote Torrie Wilson and Sable's Playboy cover issue. 

Besides that, every other match went down under standard wrestling rules.

WWE did toy with adding a stipulation to the World Heavyweight Title triple threat match, but ultimately opted against doing so. For a time, it seemed almost a lock that they were going to make it a Ladder Match, which would have been apt since it would be close to the tenth anniversary of the first televised one in WWE history and featured one of the participants in that bout (Shawn Michaels met Razor Ramon for the Intercontinental Title in the match in question at WrestleMania X). 

WWE's decision for not making it a Ladder Match was that they felt WrestleMania on its own was strong enough and it didn't need the extra it to sell the pay-per-view. 

There was also talk of making the rematch at the following month's Backlash a Ladder Match, but that likewise never came to fruition.
