REY MYSTERIO VS EDDIE GUERRERO PLUS

The belief was that once Rey lost the mask, like many luchadors, his career would never be the same. Rey, you’re going over.’”Īpparently either Konnan or Eddie, or both, had lobbied Eric Bischoff all day to change the finish of the match. Shortly before our match, they came up to us and said, ‘The finish has been changed.

I can’t get out of this.’ So, I had already set my mind to going out there and losing the mask. I’m thinking, ‘Damn, it’s gonna be what it’s gonna be. “I remember I didn’t want to show up to the pay-per-view because, again, I was supposed to lose my mask that night… Once I was there, I’m going over my match and fans are into it and everything is pumping and going. Eddie would beat Rey Mysterio at Halloween Havoc ’97 and unmask the King of Mystery. The reason Rey got those wins was to build up to the ultimate finale in this rivalry. Backstage though had more twist and turns. Eddie, wanting revenge, was willing to put up his belt, but he wanted something back in return, Rey’s mask. Well Eddie and Rey had a nice rivalry, which resulted in Rey going 2-0 against Eddie. The buildup to this match might be more impressive backstage than the actual Nitros on WCW. But what exactly makes them magic? When two great wrestlers come together, you expect magic, but what does that mean? And why is this match the standard of all the matches they’ve had. And when they both come together, they make magic.

With that said, many will call Rey Mysterio the greatest high flyer in wrestling history. Many people will call Eddie Guerrero one of the best talents that’s ever step in the squared circle. I want to add another match to that list.

Jim Cornette would show the OVW trainees Austin/Rock from WrestleMania X7 as an example to WWE’s main event style, plus show that the largest drawing main event in WrestleMania history had no one coming off the top rope. As Jericho went further into his career, you could see the Ricky Steamboat influence in the way he wrestled. I know Chris Jericho talks about how he and his friends watched Savage/Steamboat over and over and memorized the moves. There are very special matches that every wrestler should watch as they are training. Eddie Guerrero, Halloween Havoc 1997 Inducted by LWO4Life
