10 Best Eddie Guerrero WWE Matches

5. Vs. JBL - Judgment Day 2004

Eddie Guerrero's WWE Title run started off brilliantly, with a feel-good win over Brock Lesnar followed by a WrestleMania classic opposite Kurt Angle. 

After the dust had settled on the Showcase of the Immortals, however, the perilous situation SmackDown found itself in became clear. 

Brock took off to try his hand at the NFL, while Angle underwent another neck operation and Big Show, the next credible heel in line, also needed to go under the knife. 

With a dearth of headliners, WWE rolled the dice and decided to reinvent mid-card babyface tag teamer Bradshaw, the Texan transforming into the villainous JBL. 

 Expectations were low heading into their showdown at Judgment Day 2004, though their feud had been a hot one and helped draw a strong, sellout crowd to the Staples Center. 

And the match itself was far, far better than anyone probably thought it could have been, remembered mostly for Eddie's sickening bladejob and resultant blood loss. 

The sheer amount of claret Latino Heat spilled was frightening, but undoubtedly added to the match's drama while establishing JBL as a proper main eventer in the process.
