It was a very emotional Raw this past Monday as it was a tribute to the late and great Eddie Guerrero. Not only was it emotional, but the matches were pretty damn good.
The beggining of the show was very memorable and emotional for me. Shedded some tears seeing all the melancholy faces, especialy after seeing Benoit's emotion. The guy is normally rabid and a beast but to see him like that knowing his out of the ring relationship with Eddie, made me feel gloomy. During Benoit's reminescience of Eddie, the tears came coming out of me again. Others that stood out were my Olympic hero, Kurt Angle, Big Show, and of course Eddie's nephew Chavo.
Match of the night most definitely was Shelton Benjamin vs. Kurt Angle. Both have great chemistry and are phenomenal athletes. Shelton with cat-like reflexes and Angle letting it all on the line after neck surgery and many other injuries (also left his wife to continue his dream of wrestling) give it all and dedicating the match to Eddie G. I still don't get how could the audience chant "You suck" to Kurt Angle. The guy is far from sucking. A phenomenal athlete that wears patriotic colors, is a technician in the ring, and being a good friend of Eddie (and wearing an armband EG), they should have cheered the guy. Was happy to see him raise the armband up high in the end to get some pop.
If you are a wrestling fan that missed Raw, shame on you. :-) Catch Smackdown tomorrow night as that is also a show dedicated to Eddie. Chavo and Benoit will be there in action so don't miss it!!
