John ‘Bradshaw’ Layfield greatly regrets the fact that Eddie Guerrero is no longer with us, 19 years after the passing of the WWE Hall of Famer.
The pair feuded in WWE in 2004, with Layfield winning the WWE Championship from Guerrero at that year’s Great American Bash.
On a recent edition of the “Something to Wrestle With” podcast, Layfield candidly shared his feelings about his friend and rival. He said,
“What a good guy. People ask me all the time, ‘What do I regret most in life?’ When you make as many mistakes as I do, you probably should regret a lot. But the thing I regret the most is that Eddie Guerrero is not here. I wish Eddie were here now so that he could be on the show with us, so I could sit around and talk to him, like the old guys, and bash the young guys for not knowing what they’re doing.
“Eddie was such a nice person and such a great person. He influenced so many people, not just by what he did in the ring but what he did outside the ring, because of who he was. Our world has really missed out by Eddie not being here.”
Guerrero died at the age of 38 in November 2005. He had been scheduled to be a part of that year’s Survivor Series pay-per-view event.
WWE would give two tribute shows in memory of Guerrero. JBL would struggle to hold back tears during his video tribute to Latino Heat.
