You must mean a few months back when he was playing heel to Rey Mysterio, Jr.'s face character. On the "Smackdown" before the (inevitable) pay-per-view match Eddie came out sans lowrider, slowly entered the ring and stood silently while his facial expressions reacted to the crowd's heat on him. He slowly pulled a Mysterio mask out of his pocket, looked at it lovingly, then gleefully ground it into the mat. When the crowd's howls of indignation reached their peak he took on a mournful air and slowly left the ring without having uttered a sound for the entire five minutes.
Eddie's promo demonstrated his mastery of crowd psychology and his ability to silently move the story forward with physical acting alone - truly an acme all the half-talent newbies will be striving to emulate for years to come. His passing is a terrible loss to McMahons company at a time when that man's lack of taste and callous disregard for his employees are driving it down.
Perhaps its best that this thoroughbred "broke free" before the rest of the herd is rounded up for the glue factory.
Godspeed, Mr. Guerrero.
On my first anniversary with my first wife we celebrated at a wrestling match in Corpus Christi. It was at the "coliseum".
Kamala the giant was heading to the ring. I made some stupid comment and then looked around me. Everybody had vacated their seats and I was alone. I raised a peanut sized fist as this monster came down the aisle.
I call it an aisle, but his huge legs were knocking metal folding chairs everywhere. He looked down at me and gave me a big smile. I met him later and he was a really a good guy. He said that the look on my face was priceless!
I was SCARED!!!
I met Andre the Giant also. The size of that man cannot be described. His final match against Hulk Hogan, as sick as Andre was he could have smashed Hogan. Hogan has admitted as much.
