Kurt Angle speaks about working with Eddie Guerrero and where he ranks “Latino Heat.”
Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero worked with one another in their prime, having a program in 2004 that included matches opposite one another at WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series. Kurt Angle and Eddie Guerrero also frequently worked together in 2002 as part of the critically-acclaimed “SmackDown Six” pairing that also included Rey Mysterio, Chavo Guerrero, Edge, and Chris Benoit.
Now, on the latest episode of his podcast, the Kurt Angle Show, the Olympic gold medalist states that he considers Eddie Guerrero to be one of his three favorite opponents right behind Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit.
“Eddie was always an incredible in-ring performer. I loved working with Eddie. He was literally my second or third favorite to wrestle behind Benoit and Shawn Michaels. Eddie was right up there, too. I mean, the guy was, you know, what he was able to do in his career, even after his car accident when he broke his leg. He had to rehab and come back and he was still moving incredibly well. So, Eddie was great whether I wrestled with 2000 or 2002. It didn’t matter.”
Eddie Guerrero sadly passed away in 2005 but his presence is still felt today as competitors regularly pay tribute to him by using The Three Amigos and Frog Splash.
Kurt Angle, who retired in 2019, recently came back to WWE to celebrate his birthday on the December 9 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown.
