10 Wrestlers That Told You They Were Pissed
10. Eddie Guerrero
A worked shoot that - as is so often the case with these things - appealed to far too few people to land in the way WCW would have liked, Eddie Guerrero throwing coffee on himself live on an August 1998 edition of Nitro was supposed to be a turning point for a stalling run in Atlanta.
Stemming from a real backstage blowout between the former Cruiserweight Champion and Eric Bischoff that resulted in Guerrero being splashed with coffee, the speech was neither one thing nor another. As an in-character authority figure within the New World Order, Bischoff was too much of an on-screen target for the promo to register as real. Meanwhile, Guerrero did such a listless job of delivering the verbiage that it couldn't possibly scan as an attempt to kick off a feud either.
It's a pity - 1998 found Guerrero just two years away from 'Latino Heat' and a few more back from a perfectly pitched run as WWE Champion. He was a trusted all-rounder by then, but the 90s boom period had no place for impeccable pro wrestlers that were this average at the verbals. It's little wonder he was annoyed with life down south, but equally no surprise that this performance wasn't going to change things.
