#5 Eddie Guerrero and Batista
This would be Eddie Guerrero's last major feud before his untimely passing. After Guerrero feuded with Rey Mysterio, he entered a feud with Batista, who had just defeated JBL to retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Guerrero was then named No. 1 contender for Batista's title and began trying to appear to be the latter's friend. However, Batista saw right through it.
As much as Eddie Guerrero wanted Batista to feel he changed, he sometimes reverted to his cheating ways, which caught the champion's eye. In their match at No Way Out, Batista defeated Eddie Guerrero to retain the title. In the match, Guerrero had the chance to use a steel chair but decided against it.
The match at No Way Out was Eddie Guerrero's last pay-per-view appearance before his death. Despite the feud not seeing the finish the WWE had planned, it was a great representation of Eddie Guerrero's teetering on that heel/face divide.
Reports have stated that Guerrero was later scheduled to win a triple threat match to win the World Heavyweight Championship from Batista, as the latter was dealing with a back injury. Batista has since denied that claim.
It was also reported that Eddie Guerrero was being scheduled to enter into a feud with none other than Shawn Michaels, which would've culminated at WrestleMania 22.
#4 Eddie Guerrero and Brock Lesnar
When Eddie Guerrero became the No. 1 contender for Brock Lesnar's WWE Championship, many fans believed the Big Show or Kurt Angle would be the next challenger. Those same fans were elated that Guerrero was in fact going to be the one to face Lesnar.
This feud heavily relied on Eddie Guerrero's past demons. In the very first promo between Guerrero and Lesnar, the former had the crowd in the palm of his hands.
The WWE Universe got to see one of Brock Lesnar's funniest moments. He came out in a sombrero and danced with a mariachi band to mock Eddie Guerrero. However, Guerrero then ran down and cut one of the greatest promos of all time.
At No Way Out 2004, Eddie Guerrero shocked the world by beating Lesnar to become the WWE Champion. This feud wasn't just about the WWE Championship, this feud was about Eddie Guerrero overcoming his demons.
It was a culmination of all the hard times and hard work Guerrero has suffered through in his career. His win was one of the most emotional triumphs in WWE history.
#3 Eddie Guerrero and JBL
JBL and Eddie Guerrero had a perfect contrast of lifestyles. Eddie Guerrero was a man who had reached the lowest of lows and had to fight his way back to get on top. JBL had just gone through a gimmick change and was now a Texan millionaire that got everything handed to him.
The feud was hot right from the start, with JBL hitting some serious hot topics like immigration in America, which painted him as a racist, xenophobic heel.
Then, Kurt Angle became the GM and made JBL the No. 1 contender for Eddie Guerrero's WWE Championship. The two went on to have a crazy feud, which included JBL giving Guerrero's mother a heart attack.
Eddie Guerrero lost his title at The Great American Bash, after Angle reversed the initial decision. Guerrero then issued a rematch to JBL and the two battled in a Steel Cage match for the title on an episode of SmackDown. This time, Angle cost Guerrero the title a second time, while dressed as a luchador.
#2 Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle became the No. 1 contender for Eddie Guerrero's WWE Championship at WrestleMania XX. This feud revolved around Angle feeling that Guerrero holding the title was disrespectful, due to his troubled past. What ensued was a storyline of continuity and passion from both Angle and Guerrero.
At WrestleMania, Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle put on an incredible match with a very original finish. Angle locked Guerrero in the Ankle Lock, but the latter untied his boot and slipped out, before winning the match with a small package.
As mentioned earlier, Angle became SmackDown GM due to an injury, and his main job was to make life a living hell for Eddie Guerrero.
After costing Eddie Guerrero the WWE Championship to JBL, Angle was fired when it was revealed that he faked his injury to screw Guerrero. Angle was forced to face Guerrero at SummerSlam, and lost.
The two would have a few more encounters on SmackDown, and the feud ended up being one of the best of all time. It was fantastic storytelling.
#1 Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio
Some people may say this isn't Eddie Guerrero's best feud, due to the entire story being crazy and way out of left field. However, this is a rivalry that every true wrestling fan remembers for not only the crazy story, but the emotion felt when viewers were young and watching WWE.
Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio were great friends, and this feud started when Guerrero and Mysterio won the WWE Tag Team Championships.
Chavo Guerrero would then convince Eddie to challenge Mysterio to a one-on-one match at WrestleMania 21, which he lost. Eddie Guerrero was obviously upset, and in the next few weeks, the tension would grow between Guerrero and Mysterio.
Eddie Guerrero told WWE fans that he had a secret about Rey Mysterio and his son, Dominik. Fans would then. see a recurring segment called "Eddie's Bedtime Stories".
The secret was that Dominik Mysterio was Eddie Guerrero's son, and he gave him to the Mysterios at birth. At SummerSlam, Eddie and Rey had a ladder match for custody of Dominik, which the latter won. The feud ended with a steel cage match, in which Guerrero defeated Rey.
This storyline is definitely one wrestling fans may not see again, but for WWE's key demographic at that time, it worked. It was such a crazy story, but as stated earlier, everybody remembers it. The feud proves just how fantastic Eddie Guerrero was as a dark, diabolical heel.
