JBL wishes Eddie Guerrero was still here with us.
The two WWE legends had one of the most iconic and controversial feuds of the mid-2000s. They battled in one of the bloodiest battles ever at Judgement Day, which was built by controversial segments like JBL defending the US-Mexico boarder from illegal immigrants trying to gain entry.
Sadly, Eddie Guerrero passed away on 13th November 2005 at the age of just 38. His death reverberated around the wrestling world and was one of the saddest passing the business has ever seen.
JBL spoke with the Something to Wrestle podcast about his biggest regret in life (H/T to Fightful for the transcription). The former WWE Champion revealed that it was the fact that Eddie Guerrero was no longer with us.
He joked that he wanted to “bash the young guys” about not knowing what they’re doing, with Eddie. JBL added that Eddie Guerrero was one of the nicest wrestlers and the world is missing having him not being here anymore.
“What a good guy. People ask me all the time, ‘What do I regret most in life?’. When you make as many mistakes as I do, you probably should regret a lot. But the thing I regret the most is that Eddie Guerrero is not here.”
“I wish Eddie were here now so that he could be on the show with us, so I could sit around and talk to him, like the old guys, and bash the young guys for not knowing what they’re doing. But Eddie was such a nice person and such a great person. He influenced so many people, not just by what he did in the ring but what he did outside the ring, because of who he was. Our world has really missed out by Eddie not being here.”
