Eddie Guerrero would always take criticism to heart, but in a good way, according to his friend, ally, and fellow WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio.
On a recent edition of the “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Mysterio recalled working with Eddie and how focused Guerrero was on giving the best he could. He said,
“Eddie was just a completely different human being. He took everything he did in the ring to heart. So a bad comment wasn’t going to put him down, he wasn’t gonna feel upset about it. It was [the] complete opposite, he would analyze that comment and try to make it better next time. That was just Eddie, [he] was so passionate about this business, man, and he took everything to heart.
“A lot of the times I remember me we would have a great match in Mexico and he [asks what I thought of the match], I go, ‘Bro it was great’… He would go, ‘Oh I didn’t think it was that great.’ But that’s the way he was.”
Guerrero passed away in November 2005 due to heart failure. He would be posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame on the eve of WrestleMania 22 in April 2006.
