“I show up to the building and I’m like ‘I’m so happy for you’. Promoter comes by and gives us times, and by the way Eddie is the Inter-Continental Champion. So, i’m not beating Eddie Guerrero. I think I was the IWC Champion at the time. Eddie says ‘no I can’t beat your champion’. Now I’m nervous, I gotta go, I figure it was like thirty minutes with Eddie. I just thought that was super selfless of him. Number one, to fulfil bookings. Not a lot of guys would do that. Number two, to say ‘I don’t gotta beat you. I’m not gonna be here next week, next month. You are’.”

And he grabs the microphone and he says ‘Punky, yeah I can’t leave without beating you. Five more minutes and I’m gonna put the IC title on the line’. This is Eddie, and I’m like ‘okay’. We lock back up and he says ‘sorry Punky, I gotta hit the frog splash’. And I’m just elated cause I’m a kid.”
