The same reason people thought Kurt Cobain was a brilliant musician.

Dying helps your legacy a lot

You're first 4 points have nothing to do with in ring ability, nice try tho, 3/10 troll attempt
>>2871665
He was something that today's """"""stars"""""" constantly fail to be.
OVER

Wow anon, you should start your own wrestling promotion, because you're a fucking genius.
There is no way OP is even close to 18+
>>2871665
>18+
Guerrerro was GOAT-tier during his last year. Its both sad and poetic that he died at his absolute peak. I consider him an upper-midcarder talent most of his career, but his last year or so his game was at another level. He was unironically putting on the best matches and cutting the best promos. His feud with Batista was going to be legendary had he not passed on. Based Eddie desu
He had better matches in wcw. So did mysterio, benoit, saturn, etc. Wwe matches are all the same thing

WCW was GOAT

Best theme.

>absolute peak
He was 38 when he died you retard. Dude was for sure beyond his prime. If there truly was GOAT-tier stuff we would be talking about it akin to Austin 3:16 or Pipebomb. But we don't because it was good, but not GOAT.

The Smackdown ratings average before his big push and during it beg to differ.
>>2872068
But you conveniently missed the last point that explicitly goes over his in-ring career.
>>2871665
The best thing this midget ever did was inspire SashA+ to wrestle
>>2872305
Kek, he was one of the worst drawing champions ever. Manlets literally never drew a single dime.
>>2871665
You obviously havenĀ“t watched '96-'98 Nitro's. When he was a heel, no matter how lame the match, there was ALWAYS an Eddie sucks chant. He wasn't Rock-level, but he knew how to work a crowd. And his inring work was incredible in those days.
>>2871665
Eddie drew terrible attendance, ratings, buyrates
>that massive steroid body on a 5'7 body
no wonder he fucking exploded
>Not working hot models into shoots with fat bitches
You guys don't understand anything.
