Its been 10 years since Eddie Guerrero passed away, but fans will still react with an Eddie! chant whenever someone busts out a Frog Splash or Three Amigos (triple vertical suplexes). Kofi Kingston, however, managed to pay great homage to the late Latino Heat during the WWE Tag Team Championship match. As the match built to a climax, Kofi grabbed Xavier Woods trombone and brought it into the ring. With the refs back turned, it looked like he was going to blast Bubba Ray Dudley with it. Instead, he tossed the instrument at Bubba and immediately fell on the ground, clutching his head. The ref turned and saw the aftermath and was left to assume that Dudley had smashed Kingston with the trombone. It was a classic Eddie moment, and it very nearly resulted in a DQ victory for New Day. Ultimately, the trombone would factor into New Days victory, but that brief tribute to Eddie was really well done and much appreciated.
Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
