Random Match Reviews: Eddie Guerrero vs. Edge

Show: Smackdown
Date: 9/26/02
Location: San Diego, California

Edge and Eddie Guerrero are two of the best that I've ever seen and this era in 2002 was filled with fantastic matches from the "Smackdown Six". They had good matches at SummerSlam and Unforgiven but hadn't reached "great" status in their rivalry. That all changed here. Given a no disqualifications stipulation to close out the feud, these two put on a fucking classic. I love that it wasn't overly brutal for a no DQ match. They use two ladders and a chair and those don't come into play for a while. They build to it and using the ladders considering Edge's past with them was great. While they don't go into the big bumps until the end, they all were massive. From Edge's fall onto the ladder after an uppercut (which he later said did a real number on him), to the sunset flip bomb to the super Edgecution and everything in between, it was all brutal. A fantastic match and one of the best TV matches I can think of.

Match Time: 16:42 ****½
