[@TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Love It CVVCLIPS Bro Eddie Was A Legend I miss him R.I.P Latino Heat Lying Cheating And Stealing From God Now.

[@frambojan]

Shelton has that calm, perceptive, favorite teacher vibe. I really enjoy hearing his perspective on most things.

[@justzobailey6393]

Same

[@mick.7202]

A teacher is calm because they want to spread their knowledge. Shelton is clearly big on passing on what he has learned, even if he learned it the hard way. An old school guy who had all the modern talents, very few like him in the business these days. He’ll either be the head coach at the performance centre or the best shoot wrestling podcaster in no time. Quote me lol.

[@LAFC.]

And then you carry the 2..... and finally simplify ... and there's your answer.

[@TheHammersmashdave]

incredible story. I could listen to Eddie stories all day.

[@cactusjack2264]

Shelton immediately was thrown into the fire immediately matching up with the legends Eddie and Chavo and also beating them and winning Tag Team titles

[@G.light33]

Love hearing new Eddie stories that I haven’t heard before. Viva la raza!! 🇲🇽

[@Psycho_Like_Micho]

Long live the race

[@JB-zc2zq]

Shelton Benjamin is awesome.. One of my favorite wrestlers out there for sure.

[@AsapBlanco12]

I'd love an eddie guerrero biopic if it was done right and wwe didn't have all the control. He was my favorite as a kid along with Batista and I think something like that could be great

[@mr.snapdazzle5416]

As much as it would absolutely love to see that, I doubt it would ever be made due to how big of an impact Benoit had on Eddie

[@TonyG8992]

Pedro Pascal as Eddie Guerrero and Jason Bateman as Chris Benoit lol

[@damaged2810]

I saw Shelton at a house show. He was the only one, who took it serious there.

[@TrueNomadSkies]

I've seen him live a couple times too (once being an amazing match with him and Haas wrestling Eddie and Chavo), and he was always 200 percent into it like they were in the main event or wrestling for a title. My dad was there with me once and even being someone who isn't huge into wrestling, he was like oh yeah they take it really seriously and I get why you guys care so much to watch them.

[@joelgamboa4978]

Very underrated, he deserves to be a world champion.

[@BenDelaney619]

I love how Shelton talked so lovenly about and Eddie

[@SupraViperhead]

With all the stories coming out of AEW where wrestlers are crying to management and the Dirtsheets, it's refreshing to hear Shelton saying that he doesn't throw people under the bus and that he takes his problems up with the people personally.

[@jamesedmonds7519]

AEW is a locker room full of untrained morons who don't listen to guys who've actually got over in front of a mainstream audience. Of course they don't know how to conduct themselves.

[@scholarishere]

Amazing story. I met Eddie once and he was cool as hell. Shelton is one of all time favorites. Dragon whip, love that move.

[@StickyShoes34]

I LOVEE that story. So thankful that Shelton decided to share it with us all!

[@EssV_]

A true inspiration. That's how you earn respect.

[@themaskofmanyfaces2822]

Eddie we love and miss you so so much

[@AlphaProto]

Big spots are cool but pros showing off Thier spontaneity and reactionary skill in matches is cool.

[@jasonjonas6636]

Thank u shelton for sharing eddie stories ❤❤❤

[@TrueNomadSkies]

One of if not my favourite live match was one with Haas and Benjamin wrestling Eddie and Chavo. I can't remember if they had split from Angle yet, but they played to the crowed like it was the main event and worked a believable tag match which sadly becomes rarer and rarer. Nobody in the arena blinked, and even my dad who isn't really into wrestling could understand why people were so into it.

[@MaddestMadHatter]

LOL the wrench was one of the funniest thing ever! Those guys really knew how to work together. Great vibes! The Refs knew to play along to a certain extant. It was laughs!!

[@brown_recidivist]

Eddie Guerrero had a reputation for being a loose cannon. Perry Saturn talked about playing him pool with him once and Eddie freaked out and threw the cue stick at him lol

[@Nicks.2259]

Thats why DDP and Jericho would call him Eddie The Giant, cause of his temper 😅

[@iratemexican]

Miss Eddie like crazy, excellent story.

[@SeanIsTooOP]

Love Eddie because he wasnt a perfect person. Flawed like everyone else. But he is genuine and caring. Just a tad bit of a hot head sometimes but that is because he comes from an old school mentality.

[@annon-hc253]

Eddie man, the best!

[@mattsmith4589]

I LOVE YOU BENJAMIN BROTHA 😭😭 you a true legend

[@spikestampede146]

I dont always comment but God bless Shelton Benjamin

[@andrewbowyer5043]

I can buy that Chavo went running and squealing to management, in particular to Bruce Prichard

[@AlexSanchez-tj4ph]

Could also see Charlie Haas doing it

[@MoonLightWright]

That wrench story was classic 😎

[@goodgriefchief]

My favorite wrestler since I was young

[@rufio5035]

When I first saw (team angle) how easily he moved around with other wrestlers I knew Shelton was a great, how easy he would pull off moves and sell’em. ✊

[@gatomadness]

he learn from the best

[@times2duel]

We love you Shelton

[@jeremyfletcher6038]

Eddie was so good

[@TheDeadman2k47]

Eddie ‼️GOAT 🐐 ‼️

[@rustlerv6549]

I've been watching attitude era in chronological order since the 1997 royal rumble, I'm about to start with 2000 and don't get me wrong the shows are still quality but they just aren't quite hitting as hard as they did in 98 and 97, a part of me just wants to skip ahead to the superstars I grew up with like Shelton, Haas, Angle, Shawn, Orton, Batista, RVD, Mysterio, Benoit, Guerreros and so on, us ruthless aggression-early pg era kids didn't know how good we had it until it was gone

[@AlexSanchez-tj4ph]

Wtf this is exactly what I’m doing except I went all the way back to 1993 wanted to experience the new generation era and my exact thoughts and starts slowing down late 1999 and on. I grew up during the ruthless aggression era and want to skip ahead so bad lol but I put in too much time gotta keep at it.

[@thesegafan4472]

You went into the New generation era cool! But I'm suprised you survived all the crazy gimmicks like mantaur and tl hopper

[@AlexSanchez-tj4ph]

@@thesegafan4472 Don’t get me wrong it was hard but I’m a big mark for Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels/ Razor Ramon so that made it worth it to me. Made me a even bigger fan of them but I’m also watching wcw doing the Monday night wars and right now it’s a struggle watching wcw lol

[@KasanovaKee325]

2000 was actually the best year of the attitude era.

[@murmursmeglos]

The best year of the company is probably 2000, a polished version of the attitude era. One major thing against the ruthless aggression era is that it kills the tag division. 2002-03 is fine but once you get to 2004-06 its basically dead and it's depressing. They had no excuse as they had 2 shows and 2 divisions to make something of and yet both suck balls.

[@dapvm1987]

great story of Eddie G.

[@AurielFord-lz8ku]

VIVA LA RAZA x AIN'T NO STOPPING ME NOW

[@joelgamboa4978]

RIP Eddie. One of the greatest.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

Shelton seems like a real leader even when he was new!

[@GatherYeRosebudsWhileYeMay]

SB was so electric when he came on the scene he just needed a better name and attire but the guy was amazing as a wrestler

[@jeremyfletcher6038]

Shelton took the greatest Sweet Chin Music in history

[@sklages_82]

Great story

[@JL10196]

Any Eddie story *click*

[@wesmyone9562]

That's what's up😁👍🏿

[@tampapredatortrackers3858]

God I miss Eddie.

[@MajinBULK]

I miss Eddie he would surpass Cena he would literally be the face of WWE he was!! RIP I cried so much I remember that day

[@graefx]

It seems everyone has a story where they realize theyre now the senior in the room and theyve gotta start helping and teach. I saw a clip of Xavier Woods where he was playing games with people and he looked around and realized he was one that had been there the longest and went, "Oh uh...actually i guess we should be watching tapes. Wait are we Taker now???" I need an adult, oh no i am the adult. Sounds like that was Eddie's moment.

[@babarazamsucks]

R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero.😢

[@fatmanjebis]

doing wrestling with out speaking is the true beautiful piece of the wrestling community its literally like pure lightning or pure ecstacy

[@purdybeard8772]

Put 20-30 men or women together and someone gonna have issues but real men and women handle it themselves and don’t run to management

[@michaelodonaghue6960]

The locker room has never been the same since eddie and chris

[@amydumas1993]

♥️

[@Hoge1994]

Boss this rip Eddie

[@Eddieking]

Shelton is the greatest wrestler that never got to be. R.I.P Eddie.

[@FranklynStubbs]

Real People Do Real Tingz

[@deansullivan212]

Dude Wen u have Benoit Guerrero taker booker t mysterio to learn from there's noone better

[@mvjr7758]

Leaves a very bad taste. Eddie's family is LEGENDARY in Mexican Wrestling. He HELPS work with these guys & WWE totally goes the other way. They could've rode with Benjamin & Haas as a team or singles. Its very annoying to hear this years later, the wasted efforts 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@babarazamsucks]

I remember this feud and I remember these tag teams.

[@Johnnyversetti6969]

10/10 story. Love Eddie.

[@JR-to7er]

Eddie helped craft “THE GOLDEN STANDARD”…..just for WWE to waste Sheltons talents

[@sklages_82]

That's because vice is stupid he didn't know how to handle talent

[@ChelseaAlb95]

Eddie ... the GOAT

[@SuperGuitarDude7]

Great story!

[@0292-q3l]

Love this man, i remember him killing those ladder matches!

[@juniorhernandez3347]

I just imagined it as Shelton told the story and I laughed out loud at the finish .😂 Was it a house show or was this on TV, does anyone know which match he’s talking about or when it took place? I just watched their tag team title match on February 6 and that right there was a great tag match, I wasn’t expecting it to be that good.

[@el84oro]

he makes a good point, you can't get mad at something you haven't taught someone

[@michaellarnach4161]

Of course Eddie could get a wrench over.

[@DWtechfan]

Eddie Guerrero was an absolute legend as a pro wrestler and an even better person. He helped so many people become better. Shelton never got the real chance to show off his full potential as a main event guy. He wasn’t great on the microphone but damn he was great in the ring. I hope Shelton gets a shot somewhere before he retires.

[@ShadyLizack]

thank you for telling us that story, that was amazing

[@bsewell513]

Great story man

[@tonybinder9392]

It would be fun knowing this now to go back and watch this feud and see how it developed

[@tonyreyes6610]

Man my childhood is gone but to hear stories about my favorites is just amazing and it keeps me going in life from Eddie Guerrero to Kobe Bryant They drove me to keep my head up and keep going don’t be satisfied with less strive for more and be better everyday

[@_napoleoncastro]

Shelton speaking facts.

[@majackslelo827]

😃😃😃🫡

[@ericjohnson6672]

WWE helped people have good lives even many should have had great ones. People do bigoted things either purposely or not.

[@FranklynStubbs]

Good Evening One Off The Most Underrated Wrestler Ever And One Off My Favorite 🎉

[@StonedMexicanGuy]

I miss Eddie

[@massimilianoprotti9928]

In every match you had 2 learn "something" from Eddie..thankU Shelton..

[@StevenR84]

I don't remember this though I remember Shelton Benjamin with Charlie Haas beat Los Guerreros for the tag team title. Eddie Guerrero was not a better mentor than Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar even if he was your partner and younger than you. I would like to know if he is 😃 of Chad Gable's future match on Raw for the intercontinental title? You beat Randy Orton and Bray to win the tag team titkes, you really good partner, not like John Cena, 8 days in 3 reigns, is easy to work with you!

[@juniorhernandez3347]

Say your mentally underdeveloped without saying it 😂
