On This Day in WWE History

[Jimmy King]

He wasn't tag champion when he died was he?

Wikipedia says he was a four time tag team champion. Twice with Chavo, one with Rey, and one with Tajiri. I thought he was one with Batista at the time too since they were doing the best friends angle between them before he passed but I guess not.

Rey and Batista won them for a couple weeks after, that's probs the confusion. He was also tag champs with Rey before their feud over Dominick earlier that year

I do remember I think it was Batista that said Eddie was supposed to beat him for the world title too.

For some reason I remember that being confirmed by Stephanie McMahon too but yeah that was the plan according to a few folks

Still remember sitting in my dad's room watching him play the Playstation 2 when my cousin Stephen walks in to the room to tell us Eddie Guerrero died. One of them deaths to really make me sad.

I want to say it was a Sunday morning so I slept in and my dad basically told me as soon as I got up so I went and got on WWE.com to confirm

He died before I started watching. Obviously I’m very familiar now. Crazy it’s been 20 years. What could’ve been

I still remember that memorial episode. Really sad, especially in hindsight watching Benoit completely lose his composure all episode.

Definitely could've seen him get involved somehow with the Rey and Dom feud. Would've loved to seen that.

Twenty years, big brother. Two full decades without you. It’s so much time.

[Dom's cellmate]

I was 9 and found out during Lunch at Church just told myself he was lying and would be alive when SD came on later in the week.

Church is also the same place i found out Dale Earnhardt died but I was only 4 so memory is slightly vague with that one.

I mean he may have been retired by then as he’d have been 55 but I guess he still could’ve done something.

But Rey certainly would’ve never become world champ when he did. Eddie probably would’ve carried the title into WM 22 and/or challenged for it.

Oh yeah he definitely he retired. He would've been involved in a non wrestling way, probably in Dom's corner as his real dad or something. it could have been really entertaining
