Eddie Guerrero's win over Lesnar was indeed a memorable one

Eddie Guerrero was never supposed to win against a mammoth Brock Lesnar. Never! In what is considered to be one of the biggest underdog stories in WWE history, Eddie did the unthinkable after beating Brock Lesnar at No Way Out in 2004.

The match was a fairly long one, with Guerrero always trying to punch above his weight against a young Lesnar. With determination on show and a little help from Goldberg, Eddie was able to realise a life long dream of holding the championship head over his shoulder, and the crowd also backed him up in his tryst with destiny.

The performance is still regarded by many as Eddie's best, and why not? He withstood the Beast and came out of the match with the belt around his waist. While the world still mourns over the legend's tragic demise, we take this moment to honor his legacy, with the gist of his epic win.
