Eddie Guerrero Bonus Tribute DVD Review




This was the fourth bonus disc that came with the Viva La Raza DVD set . This disc features the episodes of Raw and Smackdown that were dedicated to his memory . Once again RIP Eddie .


I'll start with the Raw show ..




Monday Night Raw : 



The show starts off with a respectful ten bell salute to a great man . Wow only two minutes in and I'm already tearing up .


Kane & Big Show vs MNM
Show still has tears in his eyes as he comes out . It's really hard to focus on the action considering what this show is all about . Nice entertaining tag match to start off the show . *3/4



Kurt Angle vs Shelton Benjamin 
Now this should be a very athletic wrestling contest . Joey Styles says this match is one Eddie would love to see . A very good match here as Angle makes Shelton tap out to the Angle lock . ***



Shawn Michaels vs Rey Mysterio 
At this point in time , I would say that this was considered a dream match . It's also pretty underrated in my opinion . Rey gets the win with a 619 . ***1/4



Divas Battle Royal 
This features divas from both Raw and Smackdown . Not as bad as the crap we get nowadays . Melina wins the whole thing . 3/4*



Eugene vs Simon Dean
How the hell did this match make the show ? This one was awful . Eugene wins with a rock bottom . DUD



Ric Flair vs William Regal 
Two amazing in ring technicians going at it here . Should hopefully be a good one . The match was really short but it was entertaining while it lasted . *1/2



John Cena vs Randy Orton
I think this was the first time that these guys faced each other in the WWE . Pretty historical for that reason . Not a bad match , but it had a bad finish with Bob Orton attacking Cena to cause the DQ . *3/4



Friday Night Smackdown :



Batista comes out to give a nice heartfelt tribute to Eddie .



Matt Hardy vs Carlito 
This was a good way to open up the second tribute show for Eddie . Hardy wins the match by countering a suplex attempt into a twist of fate . **1/2



Animal & Heidenreich vs Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch
The newer version of LOD here . Don't think it lasted very long . Short match but it was fun while it lasted . Animal pins Cade after Cade is hit by the doomsday device . *3/4



Cruiserweight Battle Royal
Now this one should be a lot of fun . Loved Scotty 2 Hotty breaking out the worm . Juventud wins the whole thing . Lots of fun here . **



Chavo Guerrero vs JBL 
It's fitting that the final match on this disc features Eddie's nephew ( more like brother ) , and one of his close friends in JBL . Loved Chavo's tribute to the lying , cheating and stealing . Best match of the Smackdown show . Chavo pins JBL with the frog splash . Fitting way to end the show . ***



I'm not sure how to rate this , as it's all about celebrating the life of Eddie . I'll give it the same as I gave the set it came with . 8.5/10
