Guest Steve Hunt Report post Posted November 16, 2005 I thought that I'd start this topic to discuss Eddie Guerrero and I put it here seeing as most of Eddie's matches are now in WWE's video archive. My favorite Eddie match was by far, his match with Dean Malenko in ECW. I thought that it was a very good match that helped define both men and their futures.

Guest Kdo5 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Right on! His last ECW match kicked ass. But I really down want to decide on it, because of all the amazing matches he has participated in, such as against Rey in WCW, forget what PPV and date since my brain is kind of dead at the moment. He's had great WWE matches as well, but I certainly found his match vs Dean a very classic match, one of ECW's very best. I remember some other matches of his, maybe in Japan, but he was under a different gimmick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dangerous A 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2005 Eddie's match versu Rey at HH 97. You can't beat a five star affair. A lot of Eddie's Black Tiger work in NJPW from 93-95 was awesome, as well as his AAA work as part of Los Gringos Locos. In WWE, my favorite Eddie match would probrably be his title win over Brock because of what it meant to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 The HH 97 match is a classic but I don't think it's my favorite Eddie match since it seems like those two could have done pretty near the same matchup on a nightly basis back then. Not much emotional grab to it, you know? My favorite Eddie match is the Brock match where he won the title. Followed closely by the RVD ladder match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LatinoHeat Report post Posted November 17, 2005 RAW- May 27, 2002 Eddie Guerrero vs RVD - Ladder Match. The Ladder match between Eddie Guerrero and Rob Van Dam came up next. AS predicted, the match got going with a fast and furious pace. The two brawled outside the ring where RVD hit a guillotine leg drop off the ring skirt. Guerrero retaliated by whipping RVD face first into the steel ladder at ringside. Guerrero and RVD continued to beat each other senseless. Suddenly, Chris Benoit began walking through the crowd! He was stopped by a security guard, but Benoit merely produced a ticket stub and began walking down to ringside! Guerrero began to take the upper hand and he brought the ladder inside the ring and set it up beneath the hanging Intercontinental Championship. Guerrero got to the top of the ladder, but RVD got to the top turnbuckle, leapt and kicked the ladder out, causing Eddie to take a sick fall to the matt. RVD followed by slamming Guerrero on the ladder and hitting the Rolling Thunder. RVD then tried to climb the ladder, but Guerrero caught up to him and delivered a sunset flip from the top down to the mat. Eddie set up the ladder, but a fan dashed in and knocked it down before being taken out by security. Guerrero climbed the ladder once again and this time delivered a spectacular flip off the top onto RVD below! RVD tried to counter soon after. He smashed Eddie's face into a steel chair then clocked him with a Van Daminator. RVD placed the ladder on Guerrero and launched a split legged moonsault onto the champ. RVD climbed the ladder, but Guerrero pulled him down and suplexed him into the ladder. Eddie then set the contraption up in the corner, but his plan worked against him as RVD Irish Whipped Eddie into the steel. RVD then monkey flipped Eddie right into the ladder, followed by another ladder-aided Rolling Thunder. Guerrero kicked RVD off the ladder and tried to attack his opponent with a steel chair. RVD countered with another Van Daminator that put Eddie down on the mat. RVD set up the ladder on the side and tried to hit the Five Star Frog Splash off the top, but the ladder gave out. Guerrero then climbed the top turnbuckle, but he was sent crashing into the ring wall by RVD. Van Dam then climbed up and grabbed the hanging championship to win the match!

World's Worst Man 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 Black Tiger vs Wild Pegasus (6/11/96) New Japan was the best Guerrero match I've seen. This was a bit better than the Rey match at Halloween Havoc, and one of the best NJ juniors matches I've ever seen. Guerrero also had a great match a day later vs. Liger in the finals of the super juniors tournament. That might even be my #2 Guerrero match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 Anyone have a copy of the NoDQ match he had with Edge on Smackdown, with the MDK (murderdeathkill) sunset-flip powerbomb from the ladder? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The series of matches in 2002 or 2003 made Edge look like a contender. Eddie Guerrero was one of the most professional wrestlers out there because after a series of PPV quality matches with him the opponet always looked good. Eddie MADE Malenko, Rey, Chavo, Edge, RVD, JBL amoung others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if I had to pick one, it would definitely be Kurt at WM. I loved that match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EL DANDY~! 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2005 Best Eddy match: vs. Rey at HH 97. A lot of people are saying that the newer matches are better because of the story told in the match, but this match is all about why both of them are so good at this time. Rey could play the perilous face about as good as anybody with or without a mask, and Eddy was the nastiest motherfucker alive out to kill poor Rey. The spots were endless and spot on. Simply put, it's an amazing match. Favorite Eddy match: vs. Brock at NWO 2004. I was there for this. It'll be my fondest wrestling memory. Best match I've seen live (even though it's not nearly the best match I've ever seen) and the atmosphere, especially the pop at the end of the match is absolutely phenomenal.
