Though Guerrero lost, the performance warranted a return and further cemented his credibility as a phenomenal wrestler while he got his personal life in order. During the inaugural Ring of Honor event, Guerrero faced former ECW Television champion Super Crazy in the show’s semi-main event a match originally planned to close the show. Guerrero immediately hit the indies working with familiar faces like Rey Mysterio and Psicosis as well as up & coming indie talent like CM Punk and Low Ki. Unfortunately for Guerrero, a car accident that happened during his time in WCW led to a drug addiction that eventually halted his budding WWF career as a drunk driving incident resulted in him being released from his WWF contract.Įddie’s firing was a wake-up call for him that forced him to find solace in the business that helped him gain so much in his life. Guerrero’s abilities would take him from ECW to WCW prior to arriving in the WWF in 2000 alongside Perry Saturn, Chris Benoit & Dean Malenko. It wouldn’t take long before Eddie found himself underneath a national spotlight, but it wasn’t until 1995 that Guerrero would get the credit due to someone leading the charge for a new generation of wrestlers alongside other competitors who traveled around the world to improve themselves as performers. The son of legendary competitor Gory Guerrero and the youngest of four alongside three brothers who too became grapplers like their father, Guerrero plied his trade while naturally showcasing a talent unlike any other in his family.

Today I ask: “What if Eddie Guerrero didn’t leave ROH in 2002?”Įddie Guerrero was born & bred to be a pro wrestler. And just like any wrestling promotion, there have been decisions made and circumstances play out leaving this ROHbot wondering, “What if…?” Being a fan of ROH since its inception in February 2002, I’ve witnessed a majority of the company’s moments both significant and less-so live or through video.

Instead, ROH turned into one of the premiere wrestling organizations in North America by capitalizing on the fall of wrestling’s “Attitude Era” with a product more similar to mixed martial arts than Extreme Championship Wrestling. Ring of Honor was meant to be a true showcase for all the budding or solidified indie wrestling talent. Using monthly issues of “Pro Wrestling Illustrated”, various websites usually connected to, and the trading of VHS tapes, I became familiar with names such as “Reckless Youth”, “The Fallen Angel”, Cheetah Master, and Trent Acid just to name a few. Ring of Honor – three words that became synonymous with the independent wrestling boom of the early to mid 2000s that saw the rise of not only future wrestling superstars, but also the changing of pro wrestling’s very in-ring dynamic presentation.
