But as the episode pertained to Eddie Guerrero, the WWE Champion was aligning himself against John Bradshaw Layfield in advance of their Texas Bullrope match at The Great American Bash that weekend.

Jack Goodwillie: Eddie Guerrero was the WWE Champion at the time I started watching wrestling, and as I’ve spoken about in the past on various roundtables and podcasts with The Wrestling Estate, I believe my first episode of SmackDown (in depth, without coming across it channel surfing) to be the Jepisode. I couldn’t believe the night after WrestleMania 2000 when Chyna actually fell for Latino Heat.
John Corrigan: I missed the night the Radicalz jumped ship to WWE, but I remember Eddie Guerrero’s arm in a sling and his hilarious, yet successful pursuit of his Mamacita. Neal Wagner: Cruiserweight Eddie from WCW. The heel Eddie that had match of the year with Rey Mysterio at Halloween Havoc 1997. That was easily the best Eddie in WCW. That match was just amazing and it was a time when Eddie was one of the best and most consistent in-ring performers. Eddie was also the first wrestler who passed where I was like “damn, I’m not gonna see him anymore.” If WWE is clever enough to fit Eddie into the current storyline with Rey and Seth Rollins, it better be good.

But with the help of the new network, I was reminded of what an incredible entertainer he was, as well.
