Eddie Guerrero Not Happy With Title Loss,& More
 
Eddie Guerrero was not happy about WWE's decision to take the WWE Title off of him, but did not complain about it backstage. Most believe that he will get the title back soon anyway, possibly as soon as Summerslam.

As a reminder, tonight's Smackdown! will be headlined by Spike Dudley getting a shot at JBL's gold.

Ric Flair and Sgt. Slaughter will be the guests on WWE Byte This today at 4PM ET on WWE.com.

If he didn't complain, how do they know he's not happy? :p

(just being stupid)


Anyway, I think it's really professional of him not to whine even though he knows it's a horrible decision. Pure class. :y: :y:

HankScorpio 07-01-2004 03:18 PM

I'm praying to my (and anyone else's)God that he gets it back on SmackDown this week

The CyNick 07-01-2004 03:21 PM

I would say its a pretty good bet he's getting back before Summerslam.

I can understand why he might be upset about dropping the title to an inferior talent, but at the same time, I'm sure he realizes the brand is still built around him, so he has to know he'll get it back sooner or later.

Corkscrewed 07-01-2004 05:11 PM

Sorry Lame Gunn... praying won't work.

Yeah Eddie is the man

I spent the entire first two weeks of his title run saying "Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!" whenever I got bored.

Mr. Nerfect 07-01-2004 06:38 PM

Eddie has the right to be upset, but if he complains I will lose a lot of respect for the man. This is the WWE's decision, and it's better for business. Eddie will almost definately get the title again, so he keeps doing his job, and what he's good at, he'll be champ again in no time.

How is Bradshaw being WWE Champion better for business?

It'd be like A-Train beating Chris Benoit for the World Title, just because it's the WWE's decision doesn't mean it's really fucking good for the morale of the company. I mean how would you like it if you busted your ass night in and night out putting on excellent matches and being one of the top two over workers in the whole company, be rewarded with the WWE Title, enjoy a nice run as champion, only to drop it to a worthless fucktard like JBL?

The CyNick 07-01-2004 07:48 PM

Probably about the same as Bret Hart felt when he had to drop to Backlund, or Yokozuna or Sid (geez poor Bret) or HBK felt when he dropped to Sid, or Austin felt when he dropped to Kane, or HHH felt when he dropped to Vince.

Just pointing out, Eddie's in good company.

Nowhere Man 07-01-2004 07:52 PM

My best bet is that they gave the title to Bradshaw so Eddie can go into Summerslam as an underdog, giving the match a little more drama to it. Not saying the match will be any better, but at least now people gave got a damn good reason to get his belt back.

(And now that I'm thinking about it, ain't it kind of funny that the initials of the first PPV that Bradshaw's defending his title will be "SS"?)

I dont think he will make it to Summerslam

Eddie dropping the title without making a whining spectacle of it is good for his image overall. It may not be the best thing for business or WWE (and most of us would say it's a terrible decision) but it'll certainly help him get the title back eventually.

Hey Kane is a great athlete, plus he was a fighting champion.

YEah, he defended it every night of his reign.

Kane Knight 07-01-2004 09:12 PM

Eddie's a good professional. I can't imagine going into a situation like this without at least GRUMBLING a bit.\

The question is, will silent protest do the job here?

Where are you going with that, KK? You think he should be vocal about getting it back soon?

I definitely think he should :yes:

Mayo 07-01-2004 10:49 PM

I mean he should get it back soon, and not be any more vocal about his character than he was before.

mike616 07-01-2004 11:13 PM

How much you wanna bet that when JBL drops the title he will bitch and cry about it.


Ps: hi, New Guy here!

Hey new guy

I think if business stays bad, JBL will claim they could have turned things around if they kept the belt on him. But that wont be public for a long time. Right now he's got a good spot in the company, Vince really likes him, and he's been around a long time. So I dont think he'll be making any negative comments publically.

I was mostly opening up the question as to whether it was smart to have people silently accepting everything. Really, do we need more Yesmen in the WWE?

Well since Eddie has been carrying Smackdown for quite a while, I think that he can give his opinions without facing much backlash, and might even have some character control. Only the main eventers have significant pull when it comes to ideas about their character, so if Eddie really had a problem about it, he would have said so. He knows that JBL needs to get the title soon before he gets stale and all of the fans think of him as a joke. With his CNBC firing, much publicity was given to the show and may have attracted more fans. This ensures that another significant heel is a mainstay on Smackdown.

LK 07-02-2004 04:20 PM

I wouldn't worry about the JBL title reign for long. Sure I was absolutely f***ing gutted when he won the title but Eddie will get it back soon. He did a good job in the position that he was in and he deserves to be a two time WWE champion.

That's the thing. I think he can afford to be vocal, but I also think he should be vocal. However, I don't doubt he's worried about the possibility of being buried, no matter how over he's been.

The WWE has encouraged an environment of silence and sycophancy, with the threat of ruining people who voice themselves. Basically, it's like driving down the road with a drunk driver, remaining silent because the driver has threatened to kick you out of the car (while it's still moving) if you question his capacity to drive.

Unfortunately, they have some of the most knowledgable people in the wrestling business, and don't seem to be listening to them.

I LIKED BRADSHAW BETTER WHEN HE HAD THE OLDER CHARACTER, THE DARK HAIRED AND GOATEEE, DRUNKEN REDNECK LOOK. YOU KNOW, THE STONE COLD 2 MENTALITY.

HHH SHOULD WIN THE TITLE SOON, HE DEFINITLY DESERVES IT, I MEAN HE DOESN'T TAKE AIR TIME AWAY FROM OTHER TALENTED ATHLETES

This thread is hilarious in hindsight.

Just to show you how shit the dirt sheets are. Eddie couldnt wait to drop the belt and pushed for it to be to JBL

owenbrown 08-07-2017 06:16 PM

Kane Knight's font though back then :wtf:

Ol Dirty Dastard 08-07-2017 07:05 PM

Yeah Eddie was notoriously hard on himself, couldn't take the pressure of being champ from what I've heard.

RP 08-08-2017 12:59 AM

If he doesnt get it back soon, i dont know what the hell they are thinking.

I remember reading somewhere that prior to his untimely death, he was pushing for Randy Orton to get Batista's (now retired) World Heavyweight Championship as opposed to himself.

Big Vic 08-10-2017 11:37 AM

I remember about 3 days after Eddie died SvR 2006 came out and they had the story line with Eddie vs The UnderTaker which ended with Eddie being placed in the casket.

I remember that well. Legend passes away, days later the best entry in the SvR portion of the series (IMO) dropped.

And yeah, that storyline was so eerie... gave me chills.



Eddie's last match. I still find it somewhat eerie that both Eddie and Umaga's last matches were vs. Kennedy.

GD 08-11-2017 01:38 AM

His final appearance on Smackdown was the beginning of a face turn with the return of the low rider and the "Viva La Raza" theme.
