10 Things We Learned From WWE Untold: WCW's Big Bang

3. Eddie Guerrero's Cameo Is Seriously Out-Of-Place

We'd like to think someone in WWE production decided to troll WCW one last time with this move. If not, it's one hell of an oversight.

As Bischoff and Bedol offer up details on discussions they had about which roster members to keep around for WCW's relaunch, Eddie Guerrero is shown on screen. That, we're sure you'll agree, doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Guerrero had already been in WWE for over a year at that point, and he wasn't on the market for a jump to this new WCW.

It's weird that he was shown at all; others shown at this same point include Hulk Hogan, Sting, Goldberg, Brian Knobbs and others who were all still available. This was either a mistake and someone didn't cut tape in time (Eddie is only on screen for a millisecond) or the person in charge of piecing together footage for the doc didn't have a clue about WCW in 2001.

For the avoidance of any doubt, Eddie Guerrero was not in WCW's plans by January 2001. He was vying to become Intercontinental Champ at that point, and he'd go on to work Test for the European Title at WrestleMania X-Seven.
