10 Amazing WWE WrestleMania Pitches That Never Happened
6. Mysterio Vs Andrade In A Mask Versus Hair Match - WrestleMania 36
Dealing with a pandemic is bad enough but even beyond that WrestleMania 36 was kind of a booking disaster. From a fan perspective, reports came out every day about potential changes to the card.
In January 2020, Rey Mysterio and Andrade Cien Almas clashed several times on Monday Night Raw. Their chemistry, both being luchador savants, was spot-on and it was great to see two men of different generations mixing it up like this. Mysterio’s years in the business likely meant knowledge for Andrade to soak up and it seemed that getting in the ring with this young talent lit a fire under Rey.
Speaking to TV Insider, the former world champion said he was willing to put his pride on the line in a Mask Versus Hair match. The feud had certainly seen Andrade trying to unmask Mysterio and Cien’s pride in his image made this whole thing just make so much sense.
Early reports for ‘Mania did say that the two might meet again to square up for the United States title but there was no mention of this unique stipulation. Even so, Mysterio was reportedly told to quarantine and even then beyond that Andrade was pulled from the show due to injury.
