So as a result of my twitter poll, in Season 4 I'll be looking at one of the greatest pro wrestlers of his generation, which is Latino Heat himself - Eddie Guerrero (I secretly wanted him to win the poll haha). We will look at his time in ECW and WCW, to his WWE Title reign.

If you haven't already checked out the previous seasons in the link below:

Check out the last two seasons:

So to kick it off, I'm going to look at the triple threat elimination match for the WWE Tag Team Championship, where he and Chavo Guerrero took on Edge and Rey Mysterio and Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle at Survivor Series 2002.

Season 4 Episode One

Triple Threat Tag Team Elimination Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship Los Guerreros vs. Edge & Rey Mysterio (C) vs. Chris Benoit & Kurt Angle. Survivor Series 2002 • November 17, 2002

Ah yes, the famous smackdown six, what a better place to start. For matches like these that normally could be hard to follow and could be a klusterfuck, but of course, it worked with it being the bloody smackdown six dammit haha.

I have to admit it wasn’t the greatest match by these wrestlers standards, with a couple of botches, but with so many people in the ring, it was bound to happen. I liked the cool dynamic with Kurt & Chris being the unholy alliance, Eddie & Chavo being the smart heels and, Edge and Rey being the underdog faces, you didn’t know who was going to win.

But Eddie & Chavo were the MVP’s here with them making Chris & Kurt turn on each other that got them eliminated and then a title shot in the back of Rey, then Lasso from El Paso by Eddie, for them to win and their first tag team title.

I forgot how much I liked Los Guerrero and how entertaining there were, and even their backstage segment was so funny (Mainly Eddie by hey haha). It’s not the best match he did, but it’s worth checking out as it does showcase why the Smackdown Six was so good.

My Verdict: 6 out of 10

Watch The Full Match on the WWE Network (Go to 1 Hour 18 Minutes in the Video)
