D'Evil Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Since people have been talking about JBL's reign in the greatest WWE champion thread, I started reflecting on that time especially his feud with Eddie which was all I really remembered beyond some spats with 'Taker. Got me thinking about this, which terrified me as a kid. Now I gotta know, was this real or not? I can't recall if they were working off of some bizarre worked shoot angle but it definitely seems really off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Evil Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 That's what I was thinking, I guess Eddie & JBL just sold it like legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King RyderFan Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Eddie said in his book it was real, and he commended JBL on his quick thinking. (Tagging himself in & pinning Eddie so the medics wouldn't have to worry about the match.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradisangry Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I doubt it was real since Smackdown isn't live and they probably would have changed the show up before airing it. On a side note though: GOD DAMMIT I MISS EDDIE :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 Oh Jesus...the guy claiming that Sin Cara has been portrayed by Guerrero on occasion... Guerrero's physique never looked anything like Sin Cara. Not only that, but Guerrero had a bit of peculiar physique and mannerisms. I could spot Guerrero in a mask from a mile away.

The hunched shoulders, the chest, even the way he moves. Was Guererro's mother's heart attack real? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note though: GOD DAMMIT I MISS EDDIE :'( Was about to say this. SmackDown is taped, no way they would have let that air on TV if it was real.

M3J Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 According to Wiki, Eddie's mom's heart attack was kayfabe. It also doesn't mention Eddie having a heart attack, so probably kayfabe too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradisangry Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 It's common knowledge that JBL is close friends with the Guerrero family which is why he and Eddie had such an intense rivalry that used his mother having a heart attack. Both heart attacks were kayfabe, and had they been real, the fact they were both on Smackdown means we wouldn't have seen them in the final airing.

Side note, while looking up more info about it I came across this http://forums.leedsfestival.com/m1473119.aspx lol. This article mentions the Attitude era still being around in 2005 when Eddie died. Dude knows little about wrestling obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradisangry Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Oh really? My mistake then, I thought for sure both were on Smackdown. Either way there's no way the heart attacks were real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
