I would put Eddie ahead of Rey.

Fun story: part of the reason why Lesnar left the WWE the first time was because Lesnar was upset they took the title off him and put it on way. Eddie was a WAY bigger draw as champion than Lesnar ever was.

Do you think Eddie should have been put into position earlier? My brain is tainted by all the ideas of him as a "vanilla midget" and the WWE narrative of his long journey to the top finally paying off, overcoming demons, etc. But the guy was tearing it up in 1994. He was testing well in 1995. He was having classics in 1997 and was super-over. Do you think he had the tools in place to be more earlier, or did he need to starve as an artist (not literally) to get himself to that point?

I think they pulled the trigger at the right time. He had a lot of people to work with and he definitely drew as a champion.
