If you've never seen Eddie Guerrero perform, subscribe to the WWE Network and take a look at his body of work. Guerrero was a sensation, a once in a lifetime talent, a larger than life superstar.

Eddie Guerrero truly proved that it wasn't size that mattered, but the heart. After being bullied by Brock Lesnar, who even called out the Demons of his past (Guerrero had faced legitimate addiction to pills, which led to him being released by WWE in 2001).

The feud brought out an intense side of Guerrero that had never been seen before. On the go-home show to No Way Out 2004, Brock Lesnar called Eddie Guerrero an addict, and Guerrero's response was nothing short of bone-chilling.

If you haven't seen the promo above before, watch it. It's the perfect example of how reality can create one of the greatest promos. He made Lesnar shut up with his "I'm an addict" speech.

Eddie Guerrero would defeat Brock Lesnar at No Way Out and become WWE Champion in one of the greatest feel-good moments in WWE history. Two nights later on SmackDown, he walked through the crowd as confetti and balloons of red, white and green fell from the ceiling.

It was one of the happiest moments in WWE history and undoubtedly the greatest in SmackDown history. The ultimate underdog had won and he celebrated with the people who stood by him and loved him. Watch the video below and notice the number of "Viva La Raza" and "Latino Heat" signs. He lifted the title with pyro exploding. It was a moment that will never be forgotten.

R.I.P Eddie Guerrero.
