Whilst his uncle Eddie had an incredible career in WWE, including a reign as World Champion, Chavo Guerrero was not as fortunate.

Often in his uncle's shadow, the younger Guerrero was rarely pushed by WWE, often being part of comedy feuds against the likes of Hornswoggle.

One moment of glory for Chavo did come in 2005, when he was booked in the main event of the Eddie tribute edition of SmackDown, against his uncle's former nemesis, JBL.

Refusing to be given the victory, the former WWE Champion lost to Chavo, in what must've been one of Guerrero's toughest matches.

Whilst it meant little in the weeks after, this victory over JBL provided a true moment of reflection for Chavo and the entire Guerrero family.
