DISCUSSION - How would YOU push Eddie Guerrero as the WWE Champion?

Here's what I've been thinking: We all know that Guerrero's "lie, cheat, and steal" gimmick has worked wonders right? I think it would be cool if Guererro continued this. For example - at Wrestlemania, have Guerrero cheat to win.......a super serious and whiney Kurt Angle will complain about it, but the fans will be completely behind Eddie. Guerrero then picks up the win. Same thing happens again next month. Angle slowly starts to get the upper hand in the match, but Guerrero "lies, cheats, and steals" his way to victory (much to the chagrin of Heyman and Angle).

After his feud with Angle concludes and he moves on to Brock Lesnar, same sort of deal. Lesnar starts to get the upper-hand, but Eddie works his magic.

The reason why I feel that this may be the best way to push Eddie, is because it may not be completely 'believable' that Eddie Guerrero can go out there and completely decimate a Kurt Angle or a Brock Lesnar. Guerrero's gimmick has always had that slight 'comedic' side to him anyways. Seeing guys like Angle, Lesnar, and Heyman get all worked up would be funny as well.

The only potential problems I see with this:

1) The fans may not take Guerrero seriously as a champion.

2) It could make Guerrero's reign look like a joke (i.e. like when Jericho won the title, and when Angle first won his title).

I'm not sure though - Will the fans' buy Eddie as a 'serious' champ? Will it look plausible if Eddie cleanly defeats guys like Angle and Lesnar?
