Hot on the heels of Brock Lesnar's mocking of Eddie Guerrero's Mexican heritage on the No Way Out 2004 go-home edition of SmackDown, 'Latino Heat's interrupting of 'The Beast's mariachi celebration soon paved the way for the moment that finally forced the WWE Champion to take his challenger seriously.

Unleashing a fire and passion that had been simmering for weeks in the build-up, Brock's attempts to weaponise Guerrero's fight with addiction soon backfired and then some.

Eddie simply would not back down from the terrifying monster stood before him, getting right up in the face of 'The Next Big Thing' as he admitted to being everything Lesnar claimed he was.

He was an addict. He had gone through rehab. He had lost his job and gone through a hellacious three years due to his addiction.

But Eddie fought back and "earned" his life back, as he put it. And Lesnar's WWE Championship was the ultimate way for him to apologise and provide for his family going forward.

And if that wasn't enough to leave you ready to run through a brick wall for the undisputed "Him" of the company by that point, the soon-to-be champ's electrifying comments on now being addicted to the high he gets from the fans, his family, and proving those who doubted him wrong likely did the trick.

Eddie was ready to seize his moment and addicted to conquering 'The Beast'.
