In an interview with The Sun, Dean Malenko spoke about his memories of Eddie Guerrero on the tenth anniversary of his passing. Here are highlights:
On his match with Eddie at WCW Starrcade 1997: “We’d always try different things every night — see what worked, what didn’t work. And we fell into something, some kind of move – and the place started going crazy. I grabbed Eddie in a rear chin lock, and he goes: ‘Listen to the crowd! They’re going nuts!’ I looked over my right shoulder into the audience, and everybody’s looking up into the tiered seating. There was a girl who had lifted her shirt off and was well-endowed and entertaining the menfolk there in the crowd. So I turned to Eddie and said: ‘This is what they’re popping on, buddy.’”
On Seth Rollins using the frog splash: “Seth [Rollins] had a match with Kane and he hit a frog splash off the top. And the crowd responded by chanting Eddie’s name, and it gave me goosebumps.”
On Eddie Guerrero’s legacy: “Wrestling fans have never forgotten and will never forget Eddie Guerrero.”
