A Beginner's Guide To WWE's Netflix Era

There's always something of a misconception that wrestling is exclusively about really big men and women and that any wrestler below six feet tall isn't really worth bothering about. For years Vince McMahon seemed entirely uninterested in giving the spotlight to anybody he thought was too small. The late, great Eddie Guererro was an exception to that rule and there is no greater 'big versus small' match than when he took on the imposing Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title.

Eddie had arrived in WWE from WCW in 2000 but had left the company in 2001 due to battling addiction. After a short spell in the indies he returned to WWE in 2002. Despite having a catchphrase of 'Lie, Cheat and Steal' Eddie's imaginative ways of bending the rules won the fans over. Add to this Eddie's excellent 'Addicted to the do or die feeling' promo shortly beforehand and almost every fan wanted Eddie to finally win the top prize. Brock goes into this match as the bully that everybody wants to see taken down. If you're new to wrestling and want to see an example of a wrestler fully getting the crowd behind him then Eddie's performance here is something to be savoured. 

The undercard here has a couple of high points such as Rey Mysterio taking on Chavo Guererro and a Triple Threat match between Big Show, Kurt Angle and John Cena. You'll also get to enjoy the beginning of the end of Bill Goldberg's ill fated run up to WrestleMania XX. The main event more than makes up for any short comings though.
