5 Times WWE Changed Their WrestleMania World Title Match Plans
Goldberg's proposed Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns wasn't the first to be changed...
3. The WrestleMania 2000 Fatal 4-Way
The match ended up an overbooked mess, but one with a silver lining - through his 20 minutes of participation, Mick Foley could say he finally competed in a WrestleMania main event, something a man of his work ethic, talent, and countless sacrifices more than deserved.
But apparently, Foley's position in the match (coming five weeks after his blaze-of-glory retirement bout) came at the expense of one Chris Jericho. WrestleMania 2000 promotional material had Y2J's mug, not Foley's, originally slotted with The Rock, Triple H, and Big Show.
Alas, the McMahon-in-every-corner gimmick played out with Foley getting his overdue bite at the WrestleMania main event apple. Jericho just had to wait two more years to get his.
