tihs is a special installment of "my thoughts".  And today I am talking about Eddie Guerrero.  i wrote this a couple weeks ago, but since its 3 years since his passing, i decided to post it today as weel.  Eddie Guerrero was caught lying, cheating, and stealing but does that really characterize his career?

Well I do not think that it does.  He may have cheated in matches before, he may have lied to several people, and he maybe stole some titles here and there but that is all part of the game.  I am doing this blog to show respect and let his career finally rest, not for telling how he was good.

Now he is good, I mean really good.  He is a great athlete, a great superstar, and a great champion.  I was never a BIG fan of his work.  He wrestled in Mexico, WCW, in other promotions and in WWE.  I only watched him in WWE though.  I only remember him wrestling on Smackdown.  As I said in my other blogs, I have the ladder match DVD.  Eddie had a match against RVD in a ladder match back on May 27, 2002.  That was one heck of a match.  Like I said before, I remember him on Smackdown back in 2003-2005.  During that time frame, he faced Kurt Angle, JBL, and Rey Mysterio.  Those were his biggest rivalries on there.  The match at Wrestlemania when he faced Kurt Angle was one of the best technical matches.  The matches he had with JBL, like the Texas bull rope match, was priceless.  The storyline he had with Rey was really controversial. 

I said I wasn't a big fan of him.  Meaning, I didn't buy his shirts or posters but I liked his work.  He put on great matches.  I think he should have been a main event star sooner.  When he was WWE champion, he was extremely well at it.  He did cheat in matches but that is all part of the game.  He did lie but that is all part of the show.  He did steal but that makes the show interesting.

I was lucky enough to see Eddie face in action in person.  Back in 2005 at the PPV No Way Out, he teamed up with Rey Mysterio to take on The Basham brothers for the tag titles.  If you want to know, Eddie and Rey one the tag title for that match.  I was amazed at his skills.

It's a very terrible thing that he had to pass when he did.  He was at the top of his game at the time.  if he was in WWE right now, I know he would either be champion, battling for the title, or in the main event somehow.  He was a real asset to the Smackdown show and really showed off his country of Mexico.  I am glad he is in the Hall of Fame. He deserved it.

Many people talk about Vickie Guerrero now as she is the GM of Smackdown.  Many people want her fired and many people say that she is a disgrace to the Guerrero family.  Well that is completely wrong.  If you look at what she has done, she is the most heated star in WWE.  She is a real heel.  Every time she comes down the entrance ramp, either by walking or wheelchair, or if she is on the titan tron, she gets booed by the WHOLE crowd for 5 minutes straight.  The crowd could boo her 10 minutes if they want to but it's only a 2 hour show.  Personally, I am a fan of Vickie so I wouldn't boo her.  The storyline she had with Edge and Taker made Smackdown the #1 show for me, yes it beat Raw!  I don't think she is a disgrace to the Guerrero at all.  I think Eddie would be proud of her.  Just look how big her character is, look how big of a reaction she gets, and look what she done for Smackdown.  All of that and so much more, Eddie would just be in shock.  How can you be a disgrace when you are doing a good job? You can't be a disgrace.  Trust me, Eddie would be happy for her and he would have her keep doing it.

All said and done, Eddie is one of the best but also unrecognized in wrestling.  I am sorry he had to go as I could continue to watch his frog splash.  He will never be forgotten but now leave his career alone as people should move on.  REST IN PEACE EDDIE, WE WILL NEVER FORGET!  That is all for "my thoughts" for now but please check back to my others and wait to see my others coming soon.  If you have any suggestions for a future "My thoughts" blog, then feel free to message me.  Anyway that is my thoughts on this topic, but what are yours?  Talk to you next time!  Viva La Raza!
