This is a match that fans remember because of how crazy it was. Was it a fantastic match? Not really. It was pretty good, but Eddie Guerrero had plenty of other fantastic matches in his career. The reason this one is remembered as being wild is because of the violent chair shot by JBL and the massive amount of blood that Eddie lost during the match. The key moment happened late in the match after a ref bump. JBL picked up a steel chair and absolutely destroyed Eddie in the head with it. When Eddie turned over to face the audience, he was drenched in blood after a massive blade job. The fans loved seeing Eddie continuing to fight despite all the blood he lost during the match. In November of 2011, JBL wrote about that match with Eddie: "The chair shot was very stiff. It's how Eddie and I played-believe me, I took one at the next PPV that was just as good. We both loved it that way. Eddie went deep. Very deep. I had no idea until I watched that tape back how much blood there was. I have seen some bloodbaths and in Japan, Europe, Mexico and Texas I had been in several-I have never seen anything like that. Eddie was out of it, he didn't remember the last 15 minutes of match. They took him to hospital to get blood right after match was over. I can't believe he made it through." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOykSFHmL1g It was at a time when the Smackdown brand really needed something special to happen and it did thanks to their crazy brawl at Judgment Day 2004.
