Everything posted about Eddie's charistma and "it" factor.

First time I saw Eddie, much like Fragile X, was an episode of WCW Worldwide. Actually, I can say the same about Chris Jericho. Even though he was lower card fodder, he had this air of "self importance" as a cocky heel that seemed unwarranted, until he stepped in the ring. His matches were pretty top notch.

The cocky heel thing is what got me watching, his wrestling sold me on him, and his "cheating" that he did even then got me hooked. He used to do that "pretending to be hit with the chair so his opponent gets DQ'd" thing even in WCW. He was one of those guys that WCW seemed to be squatting on just so Vince couldn't get to them, but had no idea how to book the guy.

Bottom line is, Eddie should have been bigger sooner. They kind of wasted him similar to the way they wasted Austin.
