The late great Eddie Guerrero wrestled for WCW from 1989 until he parted ways with the promotion in 2000; joining the WWE where he would go on to capture several titles including the WWE Championship. On the other hand, Diesel aka Kevin Nash is a former WWE Champion as well--with Nash reigning as the WWF World Heavyweight Champion in the mid-1990s.

Kevin Nash and Scott Hall jumped ship to WCW in 1996, and the rest as they say is history--with the formation of the nWo comprising Nash, Hall and Hulk Hogan who led the charge led in WCW's Monday night ratings war against the WWE. Back in the day, it was common knowledge in pro-wrestling circles that Nash, Hall and Hogan were allegedly of the view that 'vanilla midgets'--a term coined by Nash himself--weren't worthy of being accorded important spots on the match cards.

In fact, Nash had famously referred to performers such as Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit as vanilla midgets--with his definition of the term being that smaller wrestlers such as Guerrero and Benoit being booked in main-event spots, wouldn't draw well for a wrestling promotion. Before Guerrero passed away in 2005, "Latino Heat" addressed Nash's criticism of him--noting that he doesn't like to speak ill about others, thereby indicating that he wouldn't want to fire back at Nash.
