10 Best Eddie Guerrero WWE Matches
Celebrate the late Latino Heat's birthday with these classics.
8. Vs. Kurt Angle - SmackDown (April 14, 2005)
As two of SmackDown's standouts, Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle wrestled each other a lot in 2004 and 05.
They had a few big matches against one another on pay-per-view, but people shouldn't sleep on their bouts from the blue brand itself, as they had several long and compelling ones, which were typically positioned in the main event.
Their last singles match ever headlined the April 14, 2005 episode of SmackDown, as they clashed in the first round of the WWE Title Number One Contendership Tournament.
It was a 25-minute masterclass, full of great wrestling, comedy and some brilliant false finishes down the closing stretch.
The finish was a good one, too, as the ref got bumped, Rey interfered to try and stop Angle from using a chair and, somehow, in the confusion of it all ended up costing Eddie the match.
One of the best TV matches you'll see from this (or any) era, it's almost thirty brilliant minutes that fly by.
