![]() ![]() But you try to wrestle him, you have zero chance. But Eddie, if he wants to do something with Kurt, punch him, hit him with something – you’ve got a chance, maybe – it’s Kurt Angle. He wasn’t just an all-American, he was the gold medallist, the best in the world.”Įddie Guerrero’s a tough guy, a very tough guy, and can fight. So here’s where I’m incredulous to this entire event, Kurt angle was not good in wrestling, he was the best in the world out of 8 billion people, or whatever it was in 1996, he was the best wrestler in the world. ![]() Eddie leg-dives Kurt Angle, to take him down, in Gorilla Position. “I realised that whatever happened in the ring, they got back to Gorilla Position – it continues. JBL then noted that Guerrero’s choice of attack may not have been the best for fighting an Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler: So I’ve started to piece stuff together based on the screaming and shouting going on.” So Eddie’s sitting there looking at the door, and he backs up and sits down right beside me where he had sat before he went out for the match with Kurt. Now it just leaves Eddie in the dressing room with the shut door and me where he dressed. And finally, he gets Eddie back into the dressing room and Kurt and everybody else on the other side, and Laurinaitis shuts the door. You know a fight’s going on and I’m sitting there in the locker, I think I’m by myself, there may have been people with me, and John Laurinaitis is trying to separate Kurt and Eddie. “I just started picking it up as they come fighting back down the hall. I don’t know what happened at Gorilla Position when they came back at that position there right before you go out of the curtain named after Gorilla Monsoon.” So I don’t know what happened in the ring, I know I think Kurt Angle has told this story a couple of times. I don’t know if anyone else is in the dressing room, but you can tell when a fight has broken out. He and I were pretty good friends as most people know. “So I’m sitting in the dressing room with Eddie. Eddie had a bad temper, Eddie – wonderful human being Kurt – wonderful human being.” Eddie Guerrero – unbelievable talent, it’s like grabbing a compressed spring you know it’s about to explode and that’s how Eddie was every time he got in front of a live crowd. I’ve never seen a guy take to professional wrestling quicker than Kurt Angle. “So Kurt Angle comes into WWE, and Kurt got over like crazy. I can't say enough good things about Eddie," said JBL.JBL has recalled a fight spilling over into the backstage area between Eddie Guerrero and Olympic gold medallist Kurt Angle.įormer WWE Champion John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield was hosting a Q and A on his YouTube channel when he recounted the story. And that tells you what kind of man Eddie Guerrero was. When he lost the title to me, he was happy for me. When I say that I mean, it's, here's a guy who worked his whole life to be a champion and he was a great champion, in my mind, the greatest Latino star of all time, by far. And Eddie was, you know, he was ecstatic for me. That's what gave me the Great American Bash. Eddie worked so hard for me to get me over in that match. "It started at the Judgment Day, the pay-per-view before and I knew that if this match didn't go well, that this was gonna be a one off, you know, they needed somebody for that match. He also discussed defeating Eddie for the WWE Championship at The Great American Bash. JBL spoke about the match, saying it would've been a one-off affair if it didn't go well. The WWE Hall of Famer won the bout via disqualification, but Eddie Guerrero retained the title. ![]() At Judgement Day 2004, JBL and Latino Heat collided for the WWE Title in a very gruesome match. ![]()
