Trying to murder Paul Bearer wouldn't seem right to have been in the middle of the show, only real reason that makes any kind of sense for that match to main event .
Original plans for Undertaker after he returned as the Dead Man in 04 was to feud with Lesnar, but he left. So... Booker T and The Dudley Boys were the next in line?
That sounds like a good segway for me to say: too bad we never got anything with Undertaker vs Eddie. Instead Taker got put against John Heidenreich to end the year. Wonderful.

Gab '04:
When Heyman and Taker can't make an angle work, you know it's SHIT. Allegedly Taker told the Dudleyz after the match: "Boys I think we've been ribbed"

Pure stupidity from WWE again. I still can't wrap my mind around why Undertaker never got to work a real program with either Eddie Guerrero or Chris Benoit (whatever that was in 2000 doesn't count) even though they spent plenty of time being part of the same roster. 2004 was the perfect time for Taker to go one-on-one with Eddie but instead they were stuck with rookies and in both 2003 and 2006, Taker and Benoit were perfectly set for a Wrestlemania match with each other considering they had nothing interesting to do but instead all the potential was wasted in two different meaningless matches.
I know this isn't a singles match but Taker did have a great triple threat match against Kurt and Benoit.
I don't think it would have been a good idea to put Eddie against Taker in 2004, it would have a little random tbh. it should have happened when Eddie turned heel in 2005.
