I'm doing this now. I have very fond memories of Eddie Guerrero as he was one of my favorites when I was younger. Eddie could captivate an audience with his in ring skills and charisma like no other. It's strange to watch back WCW and witness this when, in shoot interviews, certain WCW main eventers like to say he wasn't over. I think his run in the early to mid-2000's really proves otherwise - especially after his "Lie, Cheat, Steal" character really took hold. The gimmick was great and it helped to boost his career to a height that others seem to consider unexpected. I think Guerrero is a master of timeless matches. Guerrero had many classics wherever he went, whether it be to ECW, to WCW, or to the WWE. I recall so many phenomenal bouts like his last ECW match that he had with Malenko. Probably his greatest match at Halloween Havoc 97 with Rey Mysterio. I actually watched it for the first time with JONA, and I really was blown away watching it; I don't think a cruiserweight match has ever really been that good before or since. Of course, you've also got his match with Brock Lesnar. I know the match itself wasn't the greatest but Eddie played the perfect underdog to Brock's beast and defeating Brock for the Undisputed Championship was such a feel good moment. Eddie's death is naturally one of the sadder days in wrestling history, and the subsequent commercialization of such a tragedy is beyond appalling. I'd rather not discuss it, but I will say that it's too bad Eddie felt he needed to be massive in order to succeed. He wasn't wrong, but he shouldn't have been right. That young Eddie Guerrero was phenomenal at his size, truly something special to see. But regardless of the era, Eddie's wry smile and crisp moves made him one of the level best in the history of the sport. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer <cite>scarletspeed7 posted [p:904599110] in Scarlet Ra...
