Wrestling veteran Disco Inferno on how Eddie Guerrero always stood up for himself
A few months back on the Keepin' It 100 podcast, Disco Inferno spoke about how Guerrero didn't hesitate to speak his mind if he disliked something.
The WCW veteran mentioned how the late WWE legend would even cuss and yell at Vince McMahon to clarify his stance.
"I heard Eddie Guerrero took no sh** from Vince McMahon at all. I had people tell me [Eddie] would say, 'That's f**kin' stupid! Why would I?'" Disco recounted. "He'd go in and yell at Vince and cuss him out ... That just shows you the type of guy Eddie was. He took this business seriously. He spoke up for himself. He ended up becoming [WWE Champion]. Maybe that's what Vince McMahon means by 'grabbing the brass ring.'"
Considering just how revered Eddie Guerrero is, it's safe to say he'll continue to inspire a generation of up-and-coming talents who hope to make it big in the business.
