Details on Brock Lesnar almost getting into a real fight with former WWE Champion
Chavo Guerrero recently recalled WWE legend Eddie Guerrero getting ready to have a real fight with Brock Lesnar.
The Beast Incarnate signed with the Stamford-based company in 2000. After spending two years in development, he made his main roster debut in 2002. Over the next two years, he shared the ring with several legends, including Eddie Guerrero.
During a recent episode of The Undisputed Podcast, Chavo Guerrero recalled the time Eddie had an argument with Lesnar after the latter "stiffed him" in a match leading up to their WWE Championship bout at No Way Out 2004.
"Brock is such a strong guy, people don't really understand how strong he is. After the match, Eddie was pissed because Brock stiffed him a bunch of times, that Eddie felt. Brock was working, but he was working so hard. Eddie pulls him into his dressing room and he's like, 'Brock! Get in here!' They get into the dressing room and I'm like, 'Am I going to have to open this door and help Eddie fight Brock?' When they got out of there, they had straightened it out, and I remember Brock looking at me and going, 'You know I was going to beat up Eddie in the ring, right?'" he said.
Eddie doubted that Lesnar would put him over at No Way Out after that incident. Hence, he entered the bout prepared for a real fight with The Beast Incarnate.
"Eddie came to fight. He was ready to die with honor [laughs]. He was like, 'You never know what's gonna happen out there,'" Chavo added. [H/T: WrestingInc.]
