10 Best WWE Matches of Eddie Guerrero 

#3 Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit - Vengeance 2003

History-making match

Career long friends Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit made history back in 2003 as they fought in WWE's first-ever official WWE United States Championship match. Both these Superstars advanced to the tournament finals at the Vengeance pay-per-view.

While being best friends off-camera, Guerrero and Benoit were no strangers to each other as opponents and had several excellent matches before and after. This was a fantastic mat-based effort. Benoit won an early test of strength, as they then exchanged holds. While this form of wrestling often draws silence, the live crowd was really into it.

In an excellent sequence, Guerrero went for a Hurricanrana but was reversed into a sunset flip by Benoit, then reversed to a jackknife rollup and back to a sunset flip for two, into a rollup by Guerrero for two, into another Benoit rollup for a two count.

Guerrero would hit Benoit with the Championship and then with a Frog Splash for a surprising near fall. Benoit battled back and as he attempted a Headbutt, but Guerrero pulled the ref in front of him.

As Guerrero grabbed the new U.S title for more mischief, Benoit's buddy Rhyno sprinted to the ring but turned on Benoit, giving him a Gore. Guerrero then hit another Frog Splash, this time for the history-making three count.

This was actually the opening contest for the event, so it has to go down alongside Bret Hart and Owen Hart from WrestleMania X as best show opening matches ever.
