• Chris Jericho Reveals What Vince McMahon Thought Of Eddie Guerrero

During a recent edition of Talk Is Jericho podcast, Old School WWF Legend Chris Jericho talked about what Vince McMahon thought of Eddie Guerrero, when Eddie arrived in the WWF as a part of The Radicalz.

Below is what Jericho said:

“When he came to WWF with [Chris] Benoit and Dean [Malenko] and Perry Saturn and Eddie came as The Radicalz, about two weeks in, I was talking to Brian Gewirtz, who was the head writer at the time, and he said, we were talking about Benoit.

‘We’ll work with Benoit – we’ll do this. We’re going to have you do something with Eddie.’ I said, ‘okay, that’s fine.’

And he says, ‘Vince says Eddie is The One’ because at the time, this was pre-Latino Heat. Eddie didn’t have that personality yet and Vince saw it two weeks in.

He said, ‘Eddie’s the star.’ I said, ‘Eddie over Benoit, over Perry, over Dean?’ He said, ‘Vince says he’s the star.’

And look what he turned into.”

The post Chris Jericho Reveals What Vince McMahon Thought Of Eddie Guerrero appeared first on WWF Old School.
