I think he had a few more years in him and a couple more very entertaining years at the top.

I think there was even a chance however small that with the right foil he could have taken wrestling mainstream again. Eddies Lie Cheat and Steal mantra was really starting to go places. I dont know about the US but in New Zealand wrestling is a really cult thing, outside of little kids you will see very few if any WWE shirts.

What you see is the odd nostalgia nWo or WCW shirt but nothing new age, Eddie really started to bring things back mainstream here, Lie Cheat and Steal was out there and people I knew who hadnt watched wrestling since the height of the nWo were tuning in again and people who have enver followed wrestling knew the mantra. It was quite surprising to me.

That being said he was never going to be universally recognised as a legend the stature of a Hogan or a Savage. As many people have said his death just sort of left people thirsting for more of something they cant have.

I do disagree that he had nothing left to give though.

Also on a slightly side subject I think Benoit, Jericho, Angle, and Eddie will achieve legenday status as a group more than singularly because as long as you mention good wrestling from mid 90 through until 2005 and those names are just going to keep popping up. Japan, Mexico, ECW, WCW and WWF/E.

I dont know Eddie was going to have another title run just after his death and that would have probally lead to him main eventing wm for the second time. And Eddie being Eddie he would have done a terrific job on it so he would have got another run int he works later as the top heel on smackdown.


Eddie - Two time word champ and two time wrestlemania headliner vs Eddie one time world champ and one time headliner


I know which one I would chose but if Eddie died 7 or 8 months later he would be an even bigger legend

We don't know for a fact that Eddie was going to have another title run.

Not for a fact no...

And I am not even going to point too the match he was scheduled for on SD but in all likliness with the top end talent shortage on SD at that point it was a pretty good bet that he would pick it up within a couple of months at least.
