10 Wrestlers Who Were Wrongly Judged On ONE Match
9. Eddie Guerrero Is Too Small (And Injury Prone)
Size has been a Federation hangup since forever.
McMahon famously told Prichard that the late, great Eddie Guerrero was "so tiny" upon first meeting the guy in 2000, and that wasn't a good sign for Eddie's WWE career. He defied those odds though, changed Vince's outlook and eventually became a company legend.
Guerrero nearly didn't get another chance to defy expectations. JR once told a story on his podcast about the doubting glances fired his way when the incoming WCW star suffered a nasty elbow injury during his very first match (with Perry Saturn vs. The New Age Outlaws) in the WWF; that, according to Ross, was a stick the brown-nosers could use to beat his signing policy with.
This "tiny" worker was now injury prone too, or so people thought. Jim knew differently, and he believed Guerrero would make everybody eat those words if he was shown some proper respect and just allowed to get on with things without unnecessary judgement.
