Eddie Guerrero never managed to break through the lower card in WCW and was regularly featured as a Cruiserweight Superstar. Upon arriving in WWE, he competed against top talents like The Rock and went on to hold the European Title and the Intercontinental Title on several occasions.

On the road to WrestleMania 20, Eddie won a battle royal on an episode of SmackDown and competed for the WWE Title against Brock Lesnar at No Way Out. In one of the biggest upsets in WWE history, Eddie defeated Lesnar after interference by Goldberg. The Latino Superstar successfully defended the WWE Title against Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 20. Eddie's reign lasted until The Great American Bash, where he lost a Texas Bullrope match against JBL. He never won the title again, and tragically passed away in late 2005. Eddie was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.
