  • No one has ever forgotten the 13th of November 2005, the day Eddie Guerrero passed away.
  • The horrible, horrible "Eddiesploitation" angle WWE ran after his death, widely regarded as THE worst thing the company has ever done. According to Konnan, Vince McMahon was the only person who wanted it to happen, but since he was the boss he was able to force everyone, from Eddie's best friends to his widow to take part in the crass, tasteless and degrading angles. Supposedly it was supposed to last even longer (with Chris Benoit being set to feud with Chavo over "Eddie's Estate") until Benoit, Eddie's dearest friend, finally put his foot down and told Vince he flat-out wasn't doing it. When WrestleCrap awarded the angle the Gooker Award for 2006, RD Reynolds didn't include any soundbites or images from the angle in the article, because the angle wasn't something he could enjoy himself mocking- it was simply loathsome, and he just couldn't bring himself to go back and go through it again to find the material.
  • Chris Benoit's death. Not only does the death erase the iconic ending of Wrestlemania XX from history, but Eddie's own death played a part in it. Chris never got over it.
  • The first two episodes of Dark Side of the Ring is a Bait and Switch emotional rollercoaster in that the first part tells the life, career, and death of Eddie Guerrero, and how Eddie's passing affected Benoit, with the second part focusing how Benoit went off the deep end that led into the killing of his own wife and son and subsequent suicide.
