On November 13, fans were once again reminded of the legacy of Eddie Guerrero, as the date marked 19 years since Guerrero passed away after suffering cardiac arrest in his hotel room. Naturally, social media was flooded with tributes to Guerrero, including from the official WWE social media account, but a number of "Latino Heat's" former peers and wrestlers who grew up watching him also shared posts in his memory. One of Guerrero's greatest rivals was undoubtedly JBL, and the veteran himself has admitted that Guerrero was responsible for his career taking off after their rivalry. JBL took to X, where he penned a brief but heartfelt tribute to his rival. "His greatness can't be described with words. Miss you Ese," he posted.
