Eddie Guerrero is one of the greatest minds in pro wrestling. His matches always had a unique element that made fans in the arena cheer for him. Guerrero was a very creative wrestle and had the ability to improvise on the spot. Matt Hardy once spoke in his interview about Eddie Guerrero having a habit of changing some spots between the match.

Brisco said, “I think that’s a reason Eddie allowed him to go that far as he went, because he knew John knew his people and knew how his people were and everything. Those skits nowadays are controversial, but Eddie approved every one of them.”

Brisco further added, “It was never meant to be offensive or anything like that. It was a storyline, and JBL did such a good job telling the story that they started believing he was like that character. So that’s just more props to JBL.” (H/T WrestlingNews.Co)

JBL would receive massive heat for these promos he did during his feud with Eddie. But Eddie knew that the JBL character was different and needed those types of promos to generate the fuel for the feud. Brisco also said that JBL is a wonderful person and respects all the communities.
