16 Awesome Stories From Eddie Guerrero Tribute On Talk Is Jericho

3. Chavo's Favorite Match With Eddie

Jericho poses the same question to Chavo, and he struggles a bit saying that the two had much more chemistry as partners than opponents. He says the two had so much love and respect for each other than they always went easy when squaring off in the ring. As for tag matches, he thinks back to all the times they wrestled Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle. There was one particular one in Manchester where they brought the house down, adding that between the two of them they took about fifteen german suplexes that night. He mentions another time where the two teams squared off in Corpus Christi, and despite the fact they were heels the crowd was solidly behind them. Angle told them to turn the crowd against them, but Eddie misheard him and thought the he was telling them to turn babyface so he started playing to the crowd. He says the roles were reversed and at one point Eddie had Kurt in the anklelock and he had Benoit in the crossface.
