Eddie Guerrero was able to win the WWE Championship in 2004. After fans had watched Guerrero's stellar performances in WCW, his debut in the WWF as part of The Radicalz, his entertaining storyline with Chyna and his time in the Los Guerreros tag team on Smackdown, Eddie finally became the number 1 guy when he defeated Brock Lesnar at WWE No Way Out 2004.
Eddie Guerrero vs Brock Lesnar had a very short build-up with the storyline only had 2 TV weeks to unfold. With only 2 episodes of Smackdown to tell their story, Eddie and Brock ended up taking part in some excellent promo segments. Eddie said that winning the WWE Championship would be his redemption, he saw the belt as an apology to his family that could provide his kids with a better life. Brock was more focused on making fun of Eddie Guerrero but it didn't take long for Lesnar to realise that No Way Out could feature his hardest fought match.
This video looks at the buildup towards No Way Out 2004, the Eddie Guerrero vs Brock Lesnar match, and what winning the championship meant to Eddie.

The more time passes, the more I appreciate Eddie Guerrero.
He's one of a kind period.
@Ultra Instinct 94 This was one reason I fell out of watching wrestling around this time. And, of course, as soon as I thought I was over Eddie's passing, the Benoit tragedy occurred. Even now there's just an odd...something hanging over the industry to me.
The more time passes, the more I miss Eddie Guerrero.
@Ultra Instinct 94 stopped watching wwe on my 17th birthday. November 13th 2005, woke up that morning to celebrate turning 17 to news of his death. Was my favorite wrestler and with him gone just couldn't and didn't want to watch it anymore
Same dude same.
When Eddie hit that frog splash on Brock & the ref counted to 3... the eruption from the crowd told the story... not a single person left that arena dissatisfied. What an amazing moment. I'll never forget that celebration on Smackdown.
I absolutely lost it and was so happy for Eddie knowing the struggles he went through and nearly lost everything
Absolutely. Wish I could have seen him wrestle while he was alive (although I was really young when he died)
Easily top 5 title win reactions in company history! Celebration was amazing!
When eddie won the gold i cried for a month in happiness at school.
The fact they put him over brock just shows how much he won over vince for him to put over the little guy over brock
I was at the Smackdown after No Way Out, that Title Celebration was crazy and the unbelievable part is that when Eddie walked through the crowd he walked right behind me! As a huge Eddie fan that was one of the greatest moments of my life. I had almost missed him too cause my eyes were focused on the ring but I had heard a lot of screaming from my left, I looked over and there was Eddie. He had the biggest smile on his face.
Eddie Guerrero will no longer be called ADDICT, tonight Eddie Guerrero will simply be known as wwe champion. *GOOD FOR YOU EDDIE!!!!!!* -Michael cole
Your kidding right?
I still think this is Michael Cole's greatest call. Everything he says after Eddie wins is perfect. Always get choked up rewatching it.
ima have to watch it again. i always thought cole's greatest call was when mick won the title on raw. and by the way its the greatest episode in raw history.
Taz also yells “Eddie cheated!!!!”
Mankind winning the title on RAW is Cole's best call.
Hearing Michael Cole say, "Eddie Guerrero is Champion!" is definitely one his signature calls and also his "Heist of the century call is a good one as well.
@@a4ur8 Michael Cole best night was wrestlemania 30 where he nailed the end of the streak call, and Daniel Brian winning the championship.
Eddie Guerrero winning the WWE title is still to this day one of the greatest true feel good moments in wrestling history and living proof that dreams can come dream
It sure was. Most recently, Kofi title win as well
@@g-dub5272 great call
This happened when I was starting to watch wrestling less often. But I'm glad I was still around to see two of my favourite wrestlers (Eddie and Benoit) finally become world champions. I still remember jumping out of my seat when I saw Eddie pin Brock with the frog splash.
I completely stopped watching around that same time... almost literally right after they both finally won the titles thatthey deserved.
No two guys from that era deserved the strap more than Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero!
This build was only 3 weeks... And yet people can remember every single detail that happened like it was a massive year-long storyline. It was just that good.
This was one of the most Captivating moments in WWE History and still warms my heart to this Day … 🔥
Tv history
@@pleaseshutup7053 hell yea. i still get goosebumps.
Definitely. It was beautiful
@@rshak663 💯
EDDIE WAS THE GREATEST! Dude when he died, parts of my childhood died. As a loner, he was like a distant uncle. He was such an inspiration and easily my favorite wrestler from that era. RIP
What an absolute legend
Eddie's addiction promo is one of the realest promos done by anyone ever. Goosebumps.
One of the greatest moments in wrestling history. Man I still miss Eddie.
Eddie Guerrero’s main event push paved the way for Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston’s pushes. Long live Latino Heat!
Bret Hart? Shawn Michaels?
Yeah, bc Bryan & Kingston is really something to ride home about
@@atifqavi2054 well of course them too but Eddie happened before those guys, Chris Benoit too.
@@PaulieAFantoneJays19 write home.
@@VelvetMetrolink ...what are you talking about again ? 🤔
Alot of people say Bryan winning at Mania was the biggest feel good moment for them. To me, it's always been this one. Even with the short chase, Eddie made the absolute most of it. And all the heart he put into it made it that much more special.
Nothing from New Era can beat this moment... Absolutely instant classic...
It’s always gonna be era to era… Bryan winning gave folks of this era the same feeling Eddie winning gave folks of that era
@ ReaverPrime I agree with you 100% my dude!! Best moment in pro wrestling history EVER!! Hands down
Bryan lmao
Bryan's winning didn't have that much impact on me because he was already a 4 time champion before that win. Actually Eddie, Benoit and kofi victories are my favorite because they got the reward for busting their a***s for more than 10 years
Eddie became pro wrestling's Bugs Bunny and it was entertaining as hell.
That would be enough by itself, but his ring skills were amazing too, maybe just a notch under Bret Hart's. Although one could probably make a case that his ring skills were equal to Bret Hart's.
Amazing moment.
I think you have to give a lot of credit to Brock when they blew that spot where Eddie landed on his head. It looks like Brock slowed him down quite a bit when he realised he was going to land badly.
It's almost as if Brock stopped on a dime the second he knew something wasn't right, Brock was pretty safe even way back when, but having an opponent like Eddie it was destined to be a super good match, miss ya Eddie 😭
When the video started with “If we are being honest…” I thought the second half of that sentence was gonna be “I should’ve given Eddie that point a couple weeks back” on Reliving The War.
Love it
I understood that reference! Bandaged and hurt Eddie Guerrero can still get a Golden Up! If you know, you know!
I’m a simple man, I see wholesome Eddie content, I cry and enjoy the feel goods. Badda bing, badda boom.
It's a credit to both Eddie and Brock as performers for selling folks on the program and going out and delivering in the ring. 3 damn weeks of build and they knocked it out of the park!
It fit at the right time
I Remember when Eddie Guerrero won the WWE Title At No Way Out 2004 I was So Happy When he won it it was such a great moment
"If you're not cheating, you're not trying"
Each time I lose to a boss in Dark Souls i ask myself: What would Eddie do?
-Latino Heat
Every time I think of this match, I get emotional. Eddie was not only one of my favourite wrestlers but his redemption is so relatable. My mother was crack addict. Lost me and my siblings. Fought back, got us back, got a new home and she’s been 19 years sober. Eddie will never forgotten, that night will never be forgotten and his legacy WILL never be forgotten. Miss you Eddie. Every day.
I miss this man so much. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when my brother broke the news to me that he passed. Rest in peace my Latino brother.
I love when he faced angle and untied his boot when angle had eddie in the ankle lock such a smart move
I remember this well. Watching at home in Ireland at around 3am. When the ref counted 3 I jumped up and cheered and roared the house down. (I never really did when there was a major title change.)
It was simply a magic moment.
I love this match because the two false finishes Eddie gets are "lie, cheat, steal" type finishes, and the real finish is him being a crafty wrestler, which is why we fell in love with him in the first place.
Great take!
I remember being shocked when Eddie Guerrero won the WWE title. In the weeks leading up to No Way Out, I thought Brock Lesnar was gonna destroy him.
@Ultra Instinct 94 i guess it helps having someone like goldberg around who had a bone to pick with brock to beat the would be "next best thing."
God, I miss Eddie. Him winning the WWE title was a true feel-good moment and absolutely deserved. It's the night where Eddie became a legend. R.I.P. Eddie
We all love and miss you.
Eddie deserved this moment... and one whole hell of a lot more of them. What a shame.
RIP, Eddie.
He was on his way to a second title when he died.
One of the greatest moments in WWE history was Eddie winning that title.
It still hurts me to this very day that Eddie Guerrero had passed away but his legacy will never be forgotten
This is one of my favorite moments out of his legendary career
RIP Eddie Guerrero 🙏🏾
I don't know how you do it, but you capture the emotion of the promos so well with your excerpts and indirect discourse. Hearing Eddie's words and remembering his work pumps me up, and you do him justice here!
Man the missed matches that Eddie could of had with Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, and I’m sure there are others
yeah it's a shame.
Normally, I'm the one pulling out names like Bret or HBK, but I'll give you a more recent one: Daniel Bryan. Bryan/Eddie could have torn roofs off.
All the more reason to damn bill Goldberg to hell
Man. I hadn’t even seen this match, and I’m tearing up just watching this recap. Again Wrestling Bios guy (sorry, I don’t know your name) I can’t tell you enough how amazing these videos are! How you manage to capture the feel of an era in WWE. You just really manage to transport me back to this time, whether I was watching WWE at that point or not. Seeing this put a great big smile on my face, but also makes me miss Eddie. I sure wish he was still here…
Back when the WWE championship belt actually meant something
Eddie vs Brock was a fantastic match. Excellent work in the ring and storytelling that made Guerrero’s win all the more sweeter.
The boot will always be my favorite Eddie moment
That mashup of "Lie, Cheat & Steal" with "Gin and Juice" is straight 🔥🔥
Eddie and Benoit celebrating at WM 20 will always be one of the greatest WM moments.
His rise really began when he was one of the "Smackdown 6". His matches with Edge, esp the impromptu Ladder match from 2002, was incredible.
I also thought he had zero chance going in. Ended up becoming iconic.
Your channel is dead.
@@ArizonaHeat602 😳
Gawd dammmm
I remember watching this match at my friends house while it was happening live. The entire room cheered for Eddie. I was so happy for him. To this day, I have never been able to watch the end of that match without crying. I miss Eddie so much. RIP Eddie, we love you.
Sadly I stopped watching wrestling around 2001
And I must say I missed some amazing matches and storylines
Including Eddie winning the belt
I remember Eddie was scripted to be a heel at times before this push. But he had won over the crowd so much that he was getting over no matter what he did. Truly a people's champion.
He was a face already
It's sad how both incidents happened in Minneapolis
What a intro! Makes me really miss Eddie!
It was such a feel good moment, the build up, the promos and storytelling were perfect.
I actually felt emotional watching that. Amazing bio! Absolute epic work! RIP Eddie 🙏🏾
A true underdog story if ever there was one, so captivating and so deserving to someone as charismatic, genuinely talented and humble as Eddie Guerrero
Brilliant upload
@@cellariusmack2595 achieving the top spot in the most successful wrestling business while being considered not big enough AND almost killing his career and himself due to his demons.
It has absolutely nothing to do with his family background
Some of these clips got me emotional and made me smile. Watched this match back a couple months ago (it's on TH-cam folks! No excuse!!) and I loved it even knowing what would happen. RIP forever
I remember this moment and goddamn it was emotional in the best way, especially after learning more about his career from his struggle in WCW, his WWF firing and his rise.
I always been a huge Eddie Guerrero fan and it was nostalgic looking through this point of time Eddie became the WWE champion. SmackDown was brilliant back then!
That addict promo from Eddie is genuinely one of my favourite promos of all time. So, so good.
I was watching this live when it happened. One of WWE’s greatest moments.
RIP Eddie. I stopped watching shortly after Attitude Era and wasn't watching around this time but I always loved Eddie since the WCW days and I think we all did.
R.I.P Eddie Guerrero, one of many wrestling legends
Woooooooooo
Thank you for doing this. Eddie was an amazing performer and a personal favorite since his early WCW days.
This is actually making me cry while watching.
I loved me some Eddie.
He was the ''SH*T''..
I was there on that night. Loudest pop ever. I was super happy he won, I cried with happiness that the underdog did it.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm starting to tear up after watching this and reliving Eddie's win. I remember crying when he passed, knowing that wrestling lost one of the best ever. You did this one justice, Wrestling Bios. Well done.
Also, one thing to note that makes me respect Brock a bit more is that after Eddie passed, during some of Brock's current-day matches, he would suddenly bust out Eddie's 3 Amigos as a tribute to him. That's very classy of him.
We still miss you, Eddie.
Still miss seeing Eddie even all these years later he truly was one of a kind 😎🤟🙏
I was at smackdown the following night and his entrance was amazing that night. What a pop
Brock's mic skills might lacking but the man is a comedy genius 😂
I was so happy when he won. I remember the backstage moment when Eddie is dancing and crying and smiling with Vince holding that belt
Eddie is my all time favorite wrestler I miss him so much I always get emotional watching him win the title and hugging his family 😭 Rest In Paradise and Viva La Raza!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 also the song mix with his theme and gin & juice! 🔥🔥🔥
One of the greatest moments of the ruthless aggression era 💯 we love and miss you Eddie
After listening to these uploads and then going back to watch the match is always great but because wrestling bios knows how to paint a picture with words it's always better
Great work. Can we get a video on the career of Del Wilkes aka The Patriot?
Great choice
@@bisquit48 thanks
What I remember the most on this PPV was Vince giving Eddie a hug backstage.
The promos Eddie cut in the weeks leading up to No Way Out we’re some of the best and most emotional I can remember. They really managed to hook us in even with such a short build.
People forget that it was Paul Heyman that told Chris Benoit that he would never get a WWE Championship match ever . . . THAT'S why he defected to RAW after winning the 2004 Royal Rumble . . .
You know that’s kayfabe..... right?
@@benironside1264 Kayfabe or not, but it happened . . .
Who would’ve thought that Eddie’s theme, and Snoop Dogg’s Gin And Juice meshed well together!! 🔥
I would have 👍🏽
I still get goosebumps over eddke winning the title. I remember when he died I re watched the match like a day or 2 later and couldn't help but she'd a few tears. Miss eddie so much.
we all do your not alone.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this
This whole story sounds like a movie, so emotional
This channel is awesome. Thank You!
This is hands down your best video to date. My throat closed up and the tears flooded out of my eyes towards the end of the video.
Absolutely perfect well made content.
From one lifetime wrestling fan to another, Thank you for everything you do.
Great storytelling and narration on this. What a experience to have seen Eddie's championship victory. Thank you Eddie.
I wish Eddie was still here
Eddie Guerrero is one of my favorite wrestlers ever I was so happy that he became WWE Champion RIP we miss you
Eddie winning the belt is probably the biggest reason why I’m a wrestling fan, my best friend was a huge wrestling fan and as a Hispanic male he loved Eddie Guerrero, I was at his house for No Way Out 2004, he actually cried after the match and I remember just being so enamored with everything he did on that night, I was an Eddie Guerrero fan almost immediately
This is a magical video. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Wrestling Bios now I’m crying like a baby. Absolutely love this video and Latino Heat
Amazing channel absolutely best thing on anything at the moment thank you
I love your content bro the way you break things down detail every little last thing is dope!🔥🔥🔥
Very well put together. Great job! Was a great to watch.
Eddie was my favorite wrestler the last 3 yrs of his life.I was in 6th grade when he passed and it hurt so much for days!Something about your favorite wrestler as a kid dying,you’ll never fully recover.every November I remember the anniversary of him passing,and acknowledge him every year
Thank you so much for this video, the detail u put into this really shows and it was heart warming to c someone else loved this guy they way I did
Mannnn.... I've been watching this channel for a very long time and have seen jsut about every video, and I have to say this one is probably one of the best. The way it was edited, the quotes that were picked, the story of Gurrero itself. It's awsome! Well done!
Thank you for blessing us with this high quality content, just in time for dinner yaaaaa!
The intro music you have on these are everything! So good.
I could watch these videos all day, have been all day so far. I love these videos because they give me that dose of nostalgia that I love. I was a big wrestling fan growing up during the Monday night wars and ECW. Thank you for producing all of these, they are incredibly entertaining.
Eddie, in my opinion, is the all-time greatest. When he died, I quit watching WWE and haven't looked back. I didn't even become a fan until his bloodbath match with JBL. When Eddie beat Brock Lesnar for the title, I was shocked because it was at No Way Out, the last ppv before WrestleMania which rarely sees the title change hands (normally, Now Way Out's main event is used as the last wrinkle in a storyline before the WrestleMania payoff). After the match with JBL at Judgment Day, I became a huge Eddie fan and I've watched many of his old matches from Japan, WCW, and WWF/WWE. His fundamentals are crisp, he had great moves, ring psych, charisma, and a fantastic physique. In my opinion, he's the all time greatest, even better than Hitman and HBK.
Dear gods, this was so intense! Lesnar putting Eddie over, even with just the screenshots and few short videos, it was very intense.
I love this thank you bro ! , and the fact that snoop watches your videos ..
Such an amazing video. Good job.
A legendary iconic moment in WWE history R.I.P Eddie oh and the intro music of this video is DOPE!! 🔥🔥🔥
Wrestling Bios, I really enjoy your content. - thx !
I was floored when Eddie won, thought it was gonna be a given Brock was gonna win. I didn’t bothered ordering the ppv
Your videos are always top notch, no question, but I think your intro song mash ups in the intros are even better, and thats really saying something, love your stuff my man!
Another great job of narrating! I love your videos and use your coffee cup daily!
