There was a lot of under-utilized talent on WCW during the heyday of Eric Bischoff. Unless you had been brought over from the WWE or were "lucky" enough to get inducted into the NWO, there wasn't much use for you around Monday Nitro. Even if you were a high-flying ring genius who got the fans on their feet night in and night out. Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, and Eddie Guerrero all knew they were doomed in WCW. So they all made their way to the greener pastures of WWE, with wide eyes and a hope that they could rise up the ranks in a place where genuine talent was appreciated. But it wasn't easygoing for the first few years following the transition, which tended to be the case for most former WCW wrestlers. And the fact that Eddie remained so close with his fellow WCW defectors only further kept him out of the limelight. An addiction to pain pills and a drunk driving arrest in 2001 had pretty much sealed his exit from WWE. With a little help from his friends, Guerrero found his way back to the WWE less than a year later, but he was once again kept out of the main event picture in favor of some less-than-stellar tag team feuds. (Working with Chavo again must have felt like an extreme punishment.) But after a few years, he worked his way up as a legitimate contender for the WWE Championship.In 2004, at No Way Out, Guerrero headlined the PPV with Brock Lesnar. At this point in time, Brock Lesnar was about as unstoppable as Goldberg was in his prime. Things didn't look good for Latino Heat. And yet...he beat Lesnar and became WWE Champion. He got the push that many expected he never would. And before his untimely death in 2005, he was able to say that he conquered the WWE.
