Although Vince was able to put this and everything else during the Monday Night Wars behind him to offer Eric Bischoff a job in 2002, many within WWE also knew that Vince would have still loved to have a match with Eric. In February 2004, a short list of the planned matches for WrestleMania 20 was leaked.

These included Kurt Angle vs Eddie Guerrero, Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg, Kane vs The Undertaker, all of which did happen, The Rock and Mick Foley vs Randy Orton and Batista, which Ric Flair was added to, the Triple Threat main event, only involving a ladder, and Vince McMahon vs Eric Bischoff.

The match did not take place at WrestleMania, and it is not known why. The popular opinion is that it was possibly due to no storyline being in place as they were both heels at the time. However did get what he wanted as the match did actually happen on an episode of RAW in late February, with Steve Austin as special referee.
