Eddie Guerrero Question

[AJ Smudgico]

Ok, this isn't a nice subject, but I'm trying to ask in as sensitive a manner as possible.

On surfing through YouTube, I was 'recommended' a video with the late great Eddie Guerrero in it. This showed him in a tag match with Rey Mysterio, while Edie was WWE Champion, taking on JBL and The Dudleys.

Now, I'd never seen this before, but as Guerrero is tagged in he cleans house, poses, dances and then collapses on the floor with his eyes glazed over. As I said, I've never seen this before and wondered a) when it was and b) if it was an angle.

As the referee never crossed his hands I can only assume it was an angle, similar to the Shawn Michaels collapsing one of late 1995.

Either way can someone shed some light on this for me please

I think I know the match you're talking about. I believe it was part of the angle, it was just a way for JBL to get a pinfall over Eddie in a 'cheap' way and extend the feud. They played the concussion up the next week on Smackdown.

I'm currently doing a rewatch of Raw and Smackdown (I started with September 2003) and I literally just watched this episode yesterday. It was Smackdown on May 20th, 2004. Just part of the feud between him and JBL, he was attacked earlier in the night and then that happened during his match. Within the next two weeks, Kurt Angle (as the GM) forces Eddie to sign a waiver so he can't be sued if anything happens again - I haven't watched any farther yet but it seems like that's just so JBL can do whatever he wants to Eddie.

It was a bit hard to watch being that Eddie's gone now. But yeah, definitely part of the angle.
