Latino Heat
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYEVyqNUiFg Less than 24 hours later, Jericho dropped the title. His on again, off again partnership with Chyna came to a permanent end when she turned on "Y2J," and aligned herself with Eddie Guerrero. In her own words, she couldn't resist his "latino heat." In a weird sidenote, Chyna seemed to have a strange preoccupation with the European title, being involved with numerous champions over time. First Shawn Michaels and Triple H, then X-Pac and Shane McMahon and now onto Eddie Guerrero. Eddie's first major defense came against a fellow high flyer in the shape of Essa Rios, whose valet Lita also became at odds with Chyna. After starting off as tag partners, Eddie and the former Aguila quickly parted when Lita inadvertently took out Eddie on two separate occasions. And in the process showing more ability than most divas had in years. As the story went, Eddie was studying for his GED, and his "prom" was on the same night as Backlash 2000. Eddie and Chyna arrived in time for his match, but wearing their formal attire fresh from the prom. Although not a patch on what the two were capable of, it was a fair, high flying European title match and proof that Essa Rios could have done more given the chance. Say what you will about his underwhelming career, but at least he will go down in history as the man who brought in Lita. The champion retained, becoming the coolest man to defend a title wearing a bow tie since Brutus Beefcake. Guerrero went on to defend it further against Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko in another good Pay Per View match at Judgment Day a month later but soon after, lost the title to Saturn at Fully Loaded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRpPv7yu4iA
