Eddie Guerrero completed the Grand Slam on February 15 2004, defeating Brock Lesnar to become WWE Championship.

He and Chavo Guerrero had been Tag Team Champions in 2002. Latino Heat won the US Championship in 2002, and the Intercontinental Championship in 2000.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Eddie was one of the small guys from WCW that left in search of recognition in the WWE. That he did get in the WWE, even though it took him a while.

He was in the mid-card for a majority of his run, but he got so over that WWE ultimately had to push him to the top.

His run at the top of the card didn't last too long, as Eddie suffered from severe self-confidence issues and dropped the belt to JBL soon enough. It's a shame that right before his next major push, Guerrero passed away.

He has had a good run, where he became essential to all the purists watching, however, he didn't really get the spotlight as a bonafide star even though he went into a WrestleMania as champion. This lack of long-term investment is the only blotch on a seamless career.

Grade: B
