Arguably the most versatile wrestler of all time.
legacy destroyed by fat wife though
And lowest drawing WWE Champion of all time, lol
Uh no😂😂😂@@ShadowAngel606
When I saw the thumbnail my first thought was 'Wow Dominik Mysterio's looking older'. The resemblance is uncanny! RIP to Dom Dom's real father
I'm your papi !!!
I’m sorry I don’t comment often on UA-cam but no. Dominick does not look like Eddie Guerrero.
It’s the hair that makes him look similar. When he has shorter hair you can tell he’s Rey’s son.
After seeing Rey w his mask off u can tell Rey’s Doms father
Then you need glasses or to be checked for Prosopagnosia
“I’m addicted to the high that I get from THEM!”
Best moment of Eddie’s career, bar none. Not just because it’s one of the greatest promos ever that brought even Brock Lesnar to tears. Because there were likely some real lives saved and turned around because of it.
Finding out why Eddie used the Frog splash is one of the greatest stories in Wrestling really shows the brotherhood.
He is one of my favorites, man I miss him.
Just don't ask why Art Barr was in Mexico

RVD has the best frog splash. He still wrestles in his 50s.

Why?
Eddie was just _so damned_ good. His death was such a tragedy on so many damned levels!
Who else was heartbroken and cried when they heard he died? This guy was legendary in and out of the ring. His demons made him real. He lied, cheated, and stolen all our hearts.
Just like Brian Pillman. He played the crazy character perfect.
Chill out mate 💯
Dude my mom literally let me miss school that day, my little 8 year old heart couldn’t take it man 😂. Eddie is still my favorite wrestler to this day
I cried like a baby when i heard he died. Plus seeing all the other wrestlers crying did it too.
I might have been a teenager but damn did I cry like a bitch. Eddie was and still is my favorite of all time.
I just turned 38 a month ago and I’m the same age Eddie was when he passed. At the time I wasn’t as big of a WWF/E fan as I was back when I started watching wrestling in 96 when he passed in 05 but I still would watch Smackdown on a pretty consistent basis. I remember watching that episode live and I was shocked when they announced his death. Back then we didn’t have social media so you didn’t get instant news like you do today so I found out on TV. It’s hard to believe it’s almost 20 years since he passed and me being 38 I realize just how young he still was, and probably would have still wrestled at least another 10 years. Eddie’s passing will always be a big deal to someone like me because it’s from that point where I became even more disinterested in the WWE product. And by the time Benoit passed 2 years later I was pretty much done watching WWE in a full time manager. I would still check in every once in a blue moon but for the most part I wasn’t interested in the product anymore. Those deaths, Austin and Rock leaving and them shoving and overrated wrestler down my throat(cough Cena cough) my interest was gone. Rip to Eddie and thank you for all the entertainment you gave us. 🙌🏾
Damn I thought he was In his 40s
I didn't realize he never reached 40. Myself just turned 40 in November so.. wow... definitely gone too soon!!! ❤💔💙🖤
It’s a trip when you realize you’ve lived longer than the celebrities and heroes from your childhood.
Wrestlemania 21, Eddie vs. Rey. Not their greatest match but I was there live and it was amazing to see these two greats in the ring. RIP my friend.
A fun detail about the Mania XX finish is that Eddie actually grabbed the ropes with his legs during the winning pin for leverage, almost as if by instinct. It happens right before the 3 get counted so it's only rarely brought up, yet shows the kind of detail Eddie would put into his matches. He didn't need to grab the ropes by that point, but it fit the "Lie, Cheat, Steal" mentality perfectly & makes for a fun thing to notice on follow up viewings, since you wouldn't notice it the first time around.
As for a match that wasn't included in this video, I pick Eddie vs. The Rock on Raw in 2002. It was the only time the two ever fought in a 1-on-1 encounter, and it naturally resulted in an outstanding match, with probably what remains the greatest counter to the Rock Bottom ever seen. Those two performed as though they had always fought each other in the past.
Eddie lives in my head rent free
Look up his tag match for AAA at World's Collide in 1992. You'll also see the talents of his tag partner the late Art Barr. Had he lived he would have been up there in the bracket of Eddie, Jericho, Benoit as one of wrestling's top workers.
100%! 👏🏻 Thank toy for mentioning Art Barr! He was way ahead of his time! Used to do tape trading to see their stuff back then!
@@michaelnugent9758 Jericho also mentioned him highly in his first book.
When Eddie passed a certain style of Pure wrestling died with him. May he rest well. Latino Heat ❤️
Loved eddie guerrero I lie I cheat I steal
am i the only one who really loves his heel theme from early 2005?
You talking gangsta lean?
His 9th titantron "Can you feel the Heat"@@pleaseshutup7053
No
Eddie Guerrero is a legend. One of the very few who touched true greatness...
He really truly was one of the goat. Gone way too soon.
2nd favourite of all time. Him pulling the gold medals out of that box and his face is the greatest comedy of my life
The match with Rey Mysterio at Halloween Havoc is my favorite match of both guys. The in-ring chemistry between them is off the charts, and they're both legends for a reason.
It’s easily in my Top 3 all time. Certified classic.
I sent that match to my mom (not a wrestling fan) and said “Just watch the story they tell.” She replied that it was the best entertaining sport she’d ever seen!
Yup. Definitely in my top 5 and I HATE Rey. I just can’t gel with the Lucha style.
It was the greatest match of all time.
Eddie vs Kurt angle was probably my favorite Eddie Guerrero match. Saw it on ppv at the house of a friend of my family. That was the match I was dying to see, and it didn’t disappoint.
The friend of the family recently passed away, so that match now has a bit of nostalgia for me.
Sorry for your loss. Keep that memory sacred.
I'm very sorry for their passing.
his match vs tajiri for the US title on smackdown is a real good one that's not talked about often. happened right after their team split and eddie turned heel
I always felt like Tajiri deserved more at least an IC title run he was one of my favorites his style was so unique.
Eddie Guerrero v The Rock is severely underrated. That episode of Raw built around this sudden match, preceeded by a brilliant back and forth promo between the two. That was a great week of television just because of this night long angle. Arguably the night Eddie started becoming main event level. He was brilliant in 02 though, came back and put on clinics with RVD, was supposed to get a match with Austin who unfortunately walked out, had that great night with Rock and then on to Smackdown Six history.
Eddie's counter to the rock bottom is still one of the greatest counters I've ever seen! Under rated gem
@@havensouljah Was going to comment this🔥
Gone way too soon, but never forgotten.
JBL vs Eddie steel cage on Smackdown will always be my favorite match of all time as a child watching Eddie keep his promise and jump off the steel cage on to Bradshaw instead of leaving the cage and winning the match made 8 year old me realize my love for heel wrestlers and made JBL my favorite all time wrestler
Eddie was the best wrestler in the business. Latino heat dominated the 90’s and early to mid 2000’s.
One of the all time greats. He’s definitely one to study if you’re ever planning on becoming a wrestler. He’s the full package.
I always felt the Eddie and Chavo feud in 1998 was very underatted they had some great matches in wcw against each other and the character work was incredible to watch and showed just how good both guys were in wcw at the time.
Nice one. RIP Eddie
I remember catching Eddie vs RVD on RAW in a ladder match in like... 2002? I had stopped watching wrestling at that point, but I couldn't turn away from that match. I don't know how it holds up today, but I remember at the time thinking that was one of the best matches I had seen on a non-PPV show.
I remember being a young kid and the Edge/Eddie ladder match blowing my mind. Both of them were massive stars to me following that one match.
The WWE magazine nearly voted it match of the year too which really shocked me back then.
One of my favorite Wrestlers of all time. His matches against Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Shelton Benjamin, Chavo Guerrero, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, Ric Flair, John Cena, and The Rock are worth watching. I would have loved a Dream Match against Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart
The fact you listed so many names says it all. Eddie could and did have spectacular matches with anyone.
I noticed you skipped strong dudes like Batista and Lesnar.
@@IStevenSeagal Them too. I forgot, sorry.
The cruiser weights of WCW lead to to a bunch of damage beds and couches growing up. Also a few ass whoopings😂.
A man who could just about wrestle anyone and put on an absolute clinic. not only that he was outright hilarious on occasion too. watching these videos makes me realise how much he is missed in the current product.
Boooom! Been waiting on this one :)
Eddie was the GOAT... Still miss him so freakin' much... I loved watching him on TV as a young kid, didn't care if he was face or heel. And when I heard about his death and watched the tribute show I just coudn't help it but cry... There goes not a single Year where I think what would have been, if he still would be alive... how long would he have been with the WWE? Would he have ever switched to AEW or TNA?
So many thoughts...
Oh wow. I haven't seen or thought about Eddie's "I am an addict" promo since before I admitted I too was an addict & got clean 5 years ago. That just brought tears to my eyes. 🖤🖤
If that doesn’t bring tears to your eyes…may want to check your pulse.
Its odd I always cry when people talk about Eddie Guerro. The man was in a never ending state of pain. Except when he entered the ring. It speaks to who he was. I know what that life is like
Eddie Guerrero was a fabulous performer and a wonderful human being. Thank you for putting this together.
I’m absolutely loving that this is a series now. My man, I love your taste in wrestling.
Cruiserweights put the main eventers to shame
Absolutely. Particularly when Eddie, Jericho and Malenko were still fighting for that belt. You could mix and match any of those three with Juventud, Kidman, Ultimo and Rey and blow the roof off.
Any of those together were amazing
Rey and Dean Malenko are my favourites out of those you mentioned
His match with Kurt angle @ wrestlemania 20 with his boot was funny 😅
Thanks for this. As someone who watched wrestling from 99-03 and then 06-present day, I always felt I missed out on the world's connection with Eddie after missing his main run with WWE. It's nice to see key matches in why he was so universally loved.
Did u say Eddie Guerrero?
Press play
Viva La Raza 💚🤍♥️
Eddie and Dean Malenko’s matches in ECW are all incredible. If this man isn’t in your top 20 all time then you’re missing the point of pro wrestling. He even revolutionized lucha libre by voluntarily unmasking. RIP Eddie 🙏
I will say this. Low Ki, he’s a pro. I trained with him for a short while and perhaps I was too green to understand the business back then but Low Ki instructed me, gave me a chance and I am grateful for the opportunity.
Wtf are you carrying on about that dangerous asshole Kaval. He's a POS
I was backstage at Smackdown the night Eddie cut his addiction promo on Brock, I was one of the local crew who helped take down the set to load it on the trucks. I got the chills and thought if there was ever the time to put the belt on him, it was after that promo. RIP Eddie!
RIP Eddie
Eddie is my top 5 of all time, so narrowing this down would be so hard for me to try and do. I could make a 2 hour long video going over all of my favorites here. Eddie was truly beyond great
How did you read my mind?
I was thinking of old school "Low-Ki" matches the other day and you mentioned him in this video.
It was great of you to mention him and Eddie's match.
I watched WCW Monday Nitro quite a lot from around 96 to 99...Eddie Guerrero was always one of those names that, when the announcers said that he was coming up in a match next, I always stayed tuned in. Especially if it was against someone like Misterio or Malenko and such.
Literally ANY Guerrero/Benoit match from New Japan, WCW or WWE is worth watching just to see how willing they were to beat the living hell out of each other. Their US title tournament match from 1996 has one of my favorite finishes of all time
I remember owning the Smackdown vs Raw 2008 bonus disc for PS2 and watching Eddie vs Rey at Halloween Havoc 1997 and being absolutely amazed. I showed that match to my younger brother and it’s one of our all time favorites. I’d recommend that match for anyone trying to get into wrestling. Eddie vs Brock at No Way Out 2004 is another great match and an emotional amazing ending. Eddie was one of the best and there will never be another wrestler like him.
My top 5 Eddie matches . 1. The Mask vs.Title match with Rey Mysterio at Halloween Havoc 97, 2. The WWE Title match with Brock lesnar at NWO 2004, 3. The World Title Match with Batista at No Mercy 2005, 4.The Crusierweight Title Match with Dean Malenko at Starrcade 1997, & 5. The IC Title ladder Match with RVD on Raw in 2002. Those are my top 5 Eddie Guerrero Matches ,Couldn't think of anymore matches but maybe the next time .
Yeah Eddie vs Shawn is up there with Bret vs Angle & Sting vs Taker as matches I've always wanted to see.
This may have been a series created for newer wrestling fans but as someone whos been watching since 89 this is quickly becoming my 2nd favorite series from you behind reliving the war.
Great work as always
Latino heeeeeeaaattt
Excellent looking series. Keep it coming, please
I remember when Eddie passed away, my mom let me miss school and everything. My little 8 year old heart was broken, Eddie is still my favorite wrestler to this day. Latino Heat forever!
Guerrero vs JBL at Judgement Day is one if my favorite matches of all time. The chair shot is insane
you know that Eddie was the GOAT when 18yrs later we are still watch video's about him.
When I was still a kid, I saw Eddie’s first Nitro match and was instantly a fan. I don’t really even know what drew me to him at the time, because he was a sort of bland babyface character wise and I was too young to understand workrate. It must have just been something about how he moved and worked that even a kid could tell he was something special.
You might have been too young to understand what workrate was, but if you regularly watched wrestling, I'm sure you could appreciate it when you saw it.
@@MyPisceanNature That’s probably true, because I was already near obsessed. I grew up where Smoky Mountain was based and the Rock N’ Roll Express were my favorites at the time.
@ThomasJMusic86 I grew up in the USWA region. I actually had such an appreciation for Steven Regal that I used a Bruce Wayne action figure to represent him. I don't even remember how I acquired it. Probably my best friend at the time. We traded wrestlers back and forth like we were territory bookers back then 😆.
Michaels vs Guerrero is my ultimate dream match that will never happen
RIP Eddie, dude was ahead of his time and a huge loss. We will probably never see anyone like Eddie again, dude was a gem.
Definitely my number one favorite wrestler of all time. The man could literally do it all. I was so heart broken when he died. Rip to a legend
Great list. Eddie had some great bouts after he left wwe in 2001. He had a great match against Low Ki in his first post wwe appearance and faced Super Crazy in an entertaining match from the first ROH show in 2002.
Eddie vs. Shawn would have been amazing. RIP Eddie.
the Eddie/Lesnar No Way Out 04 match is my favorite pro wrestling match of all time. The PPV holds a special place in my heart as it was the first wrestling show i ever watched. It's insane to think it's been almost 20 years since that show aired.
Still to this day my favorite wrestler of all time rip Eddie
RIP Eddie 😢🕊️🌹🙏🏼. Viva La Raza.
I've shed so many tears over the loss of Eddie. Such an undeniable talent in every single aspect of the sport. Such a deep personality and heart. We are lucky to have the legacy he's left behind.
The man that made me fall in love with professional wrestling. In 2004, there was a huge wrestling boom here in Italy, i don't know why but they gave Smackdown on clear television while Raw was on Sky Sport (we didn't have enough money to pay for sky sport but my cousin had it and we watched Raw together)
Anyway, wrestling was huge in Italy during those years and Eddie Guerrero was everybody's favorite. When he died i was devastated but i will never forget him, one of the greats of professional wrestling. Miss you Eddie ❤️
I think the ladder match between Eddie and RVD on RAW should be considered as one of his best matches .
R.I.P eddie guerrero the WWE universe and the WWE family misses so much..🥹🥹😢😢
So glad you mentioned the hostile city showdown match..Eddie sometimes lost his way when a distraction occurred, but in this he just takes it up a notch and it’s amazing
eddie guerrero vs shinjiro otani starrcade 1995 thats his most underrated match. That match deserves more praise
Also his match against justin liger in japan 1996 when he was black tiger
It's not a match but when Eddie and Chyna hooked up and his low riders just beautiful
lol the parking lot brawl between Guerrero n Cena was fun 2 watch.
It’s only been the last few months that I’ve been able to watch Eddie and not get emotional. I hope it doesn’t take that long with Bray.
I remember when the 3 disc Eddie Guerrero DVD came out and I pre ordered it just because it had Eddie Guerrero vs Edge from Smackdown
I wish Eddie was still alive today. I’m not sure if he would still be wrestling at his age had he been alive, but he would have been a great mentor to the younger wrestlers and would have been great in a backstage role or even as a trainer at the performance centre.
I would love to see a Eddie Guerrero showcase I’d die for it love Eddie was one my heroes growing up
Check the date of the souled out match - 1994?
Edit: you say 1997, the text says 1994. I was at that PPV and it was an amazing match.
When world's collide with art barr. Best out of 3 falls and its a huge match in his career. It was a WCW ppv with aaa
Really loved the video!! A lot of great matches but yes as you said, there are ones that are left out. However, that’s how good Eddie was back in the day. He had countless great ones.
This video was great. Eddie had me and the friends doing frogsplashes off of everything back in the day!
This is it. This one made me subscribe.
Do one for Chris Benoit!
Chances are THAT might cause his channel to be shutdown...
Fine I'll watch Haloween Havoc again!
Glad you mentioned the RVD ladder match. That and some of his WCW matches with Ultimo Dragon
Viva la raza!
Loved the picks
Loving this series.
Best wrestling channel on UA-cam, period.
These matches were great jbl vs eddie guerrero at Judgement Day 2004 was crazy that jbl border segment on Smackdown was crazy bruce prichard telling the backstory of it is very fascinating all these matches were amazing awesome Video happy new year.
I like this series you started doing, easily will be a great thing to prop up the rest of your channel. I hope you do a "best of the best" of some who maybe don't get the spotlight as often.
Thank you for the wise choice, Patreons. Thank Wrestling Bios for your hard work.
Just last night I was watching Los Guerreros in a match back in the day and I remember wishing I had a guide to Eddie's really good matches. This is awesome! Thank you!

-Ese Pinche Eddie G
Man, I’ll never forget when the Radicals came to WWE. I knew that this group of individuals changed the landscape for WWE. RIP Eddie Guerrero!
Not a match but I remember a dvd extra on summerslam 2004 that had Eddie having a heart to heart with benoit after losing to orton
idk why but i always loved that little hidden gem of a moment
Eddie's life and career is Biopic through and through, came from famous family, and made himself a rep in his younger years. Came up the ranks in ECW and WCW before breaking out.
Came over to WWF and made a mark in mid-card before his drug addictions etc. led to his release. Got himself clean and made his return to WWE, where he rose and won the main title 2 years later. Entertained fans with his lie, cheat and steal gimmick and excellent ring work.
Then just a year later thanks to the steroid he did earlier in his career. He passed and left a massive void for the entire wrestling community and fanbase.
One that is still there today.
Still mad we never got a eddie guerrero vs bret hart in wcw. There's a lot of eddie guerrero dream matches. Eddie vs hbk made sense especially when you look at the previous mania. Wm 20 kurt angle vs eddie, wm 21 hbk vs kurt angle. So wm 22 you got eddie vs hbk. And i have no doubt they would have torn it up. There backgrounds as smaller guys climbing the mountain. Both had demons they over came and both are some of the absolute best in the business the story writes itself. Eddie along with gbk, bret hart, kurt angle are on my mount rushmore of best technical Wrestlers of all time along with a few others. But eddie like hbk really could do it all. One of my favorite eddie matches is him vs the rock for the wwe championship on raw. One because it involves two of my a time favorites Wrestlers. Two it was a once in a life time match. Third they surprisingly worked very well together. Fourth gave us one of the greatest counters to a rock bottom I've ever seen.
The Eddie over the rope senton with the arm down is so perfect.
When we talk about the GOATs, Eddie was just stellar. He could have been one of the greatest without ever touching the mic. Even when working heel he was too good to completely hate. I can't imagine WCW without him and I don't want to imagine wrestling without him.
