IMPULSE BUY: Ultimate Edition Eddie Guerrero

 

And I thought I was compartmentalizing a couple days ago? Anyway.So, this is the last of the Chainsaw Man Wal-Mart run. I’d been looking for a One Good Eddie Guerrero, but after discovering the existence of this one, I’d also learned that it was, as a general rule, No Longer Available At Retail. So when I saw a stack of them on the shelf at the Wal-Mart, I definitely needed one.

It’s not my ideal Eddie - I’d still take a short-hair, Lie/Cheat/Steal Smackdown era version, but I’m not gonna argue with Ultimate Edition articulation, two heads, some hands, and a soft goods shirt, and a WCW Cruiserweight Champoinship belt.

Plus, bonus fun story for the pic above. I don’t have a ton of WCW era opponents for this Eddie, but I remembered I still have a Phantom Costume Rey Mysterio from back in the day. So I looked it up. Who was his opponent when he wore this gear? Eddie Guerrero. Halloween Havoc So I looked up the match, and what gear is Eddie wearing in that match? THIS GEAR. The Rey is old and with limited articulation so he gets the end of a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker.
