#4 Eddie Guerrero vs. Braun Strowman

A veteran like Eddie Guerrero would have been the perfect opponent for Braun Strowman.

Excluding his recent loss against Brock Lesnar at September's RAW No Mercy PPV, "The Monster Among Men" Braun Strowman has been booked in a way that definitely reflects the nickname, with dominant displays in matches against the likes of Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Big Show and Apollo Crews.

However, as good as these guys are at selling for Strowman, none of them could have put Strowman over like Guerrero would have.

Like I mentioned at the beginning of this feature, Eddie Guerrero was a genius at making his fellow competitors' moves look amazing, but also cleverly protected his reputation too by getting in a lot of offence.

As a babyface especially, there was and is no one better than Guerrero at pulling off the underdog role. Maybe only Daniel Bryan could do that as good as 'Viva La Raza'.

If the late Superstar was still alive today, at the age of 50, Latino Heat would have been probably nearing the end of his career.

Hence, I think Guerrero (and Vince McMahon) would have loved to put Strowman over, as he always was unselfish during his career.

The match between would have been great.

Eddie would have got the fans behind him as he always made them believe that he might be able to win any match no matter who was standing across the ring from him, getting in a good bit of offence. Imagine him trying to cheat against Braun...

But whenever Strowman would obviously be the dominant force in the match, and anytime he would have got a move in, Eddie would have made him look a priceless asset in comparison to a million bucks. Guerrero was so great at selling manoeuvres against the smallest of guys, so just think about how well he would have done for an enormous figure like Strowman.

In the end, Strowman would come out on top looking like more of a monster than ever, and Eddie would not have looked bad either - "The Guerrero Effect" is what I call it.

It may not have ROARED into your head at the beginning of this feature, but Guerrero vs. Strowman would have been fantastic big man vs. smaller man contest.

Eddie is probably looking down on us right now with approval.
