![]() ![]() John Bradshaw Layfield was receiving a big push to the top and was delivering as one of the top heels in the WWE at the time. The two Texans gave it their all in every match they had with one another, which created classic matches to remember. In a personal favorite of mine, Eddie Guerrero put all of his energy and skill in a historic feud with villainous foe JBL (John Bradshaw Layfield). JBL himself has also recently told the story of his own backstage altercation with ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar.Guerrero was one of those performers that gave his all in every single match he participated in. I’m sitting right beside him, I’m literally right beside him and finally, I look over and I said ‘why would you leg dive a gold medallist?’ And without a second thought, he goes ‘BECAUSE I’M STUPID’, and I just started laughing. So as I’m sitting there, and I’m looking at Eddie and Eddie’s just looking at the door and he’s just ‘hss sssh’ – he is furious, and he’s just staring at the door like the door’s gonna move. But you try to wrestle him, you have zero chance. But Eddie, if he wants to do something with Kurt, punch him, hit him with something – you’ve got a chance, maybe – it’s Kurt Angle. He wasn’t just an all-American, he was the gold medallist, the best in the world.”Įddie Guerrero’s a tough guy, a very tough guy, and can fight. So here’s where I’m incredulous to this entire event, Kurt angle was not good in wrestling, he was the best in the world out of 8 billion people, or whatever it was in 1996, he was the best wrestler in the world. Eddie leg-dives Kurt Angle, to take him down, in Gorilla Position. “I realised that whatever happened in the ring, they got back to Gorilla Position – it continues. ![]() JBL then noted that Guerrero’s choice of attack may not have been the best for fighting an Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler: So I’ve started to piece stuff together based on the screaming and shouting going on.” So Eddie’s sitting there looking at the door, and he backs up and sits down right beside me where he had sat before he went out for the match with Kurt. Now it just leaves Eddie in the dressing room with the shut door and me where he dressed. And finally, he gets Eddie back into the dressing room and Kurt and everybody else on the other side, and Laurinaitis shuts the door. ![]() You know a fight’s going on and I’m sitting there in the locker, I think I’m by myself, there may have been people with me, and John Laurinaitis is trying to separate Kurt and Eddie. “I just started picking it up as they come fighting back down the hall. ![]() I don’t know what happened at Gorilla Position when they came back at that position there right before you go out of the curtain named after Gorilla Monsoon.” So I don’t know what happened in the ring, I know I think Kurt Angle has told this story a couple of times. I don’t know if anyone else is in the dressing room, but you can tell when a fight has broken out. He and I were pretty good friends as most people know. “So I’m sitting in the dressing room with Eddie. Eddie had a bad temper, Eddie – wonderful human being Kurt – wonderful human being.” Eddie Guerrero – unbelievable talent, it’s like grabbing a compressed spring you know it’s about to explode and that’s how Eddie was every time he got in front of a live crowd. #Eddie guerrero vs jbl professionalI’ve never seen a guy take to professional wrestling quicker than Kurt Angle. “So Kurt Angle comes into WWE, and Kurt got over like crazy. JBL has recalled a fight spilling over into the backstage area between Eddie Guerrero and Olympic gold medallist Kurt Angle.įormer WWE Champion John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield was hosting a Q and A on his YouTube channel when he recounted the story. ![]()
