It's arguable but that would be a very reasonable take.

As far as charecter work I could see that. People like Angle and Benoit were better technically but he worked a crowd really well.

Angle > Eddie (as well as every other wrestler ever)
Perc Angle > Angle

Perc Angle is the greatest wrestler of all time.

Kurt was never over enough to be a top guy
Rock, Austin Jericho had fans hanging to their every word and several catchphrases that routinely got huge pops each promo
Eddie was extremely over as a heel in wcw and over as world champion despite the awful roster and timing of his title reign
Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit could always steal the show and get fans invested into anything
Ric Flair and Randy Savage could tell great storylines and make you invested into whatever they did
Hogan could work the crowd like nobody else

Angle wasn't as good as any of these guys, he's basically a rich man's Dean Malenko

Eddie Guerrero is the epitome of posthumously overrated. He was one of the lowest drawing wwe champions in history. Dude was drawing 1,400 people into arenas that can hold 15,000 for wrestling shows during his feuds against Angle & Bradshaw.

At one point I think he may actually be right; before the car accident and him going to WWF.
Pre-1999 Eddie was frankly something else. He was still heads and shoulders above most workers afterwards, but in like '95-'97 he was unbelievable to witness.

I think that why JR would say he's the best becuase besides his height Eddie was essentially a all around package when it came to werestling. I think Angle is better though, but he and Eddie are neck and neck greatest imo.

Eddie was based during his main event push and even before that but especially during his run as a top star. I do agree he's overrated a bit too much but he was still definitely great and leagues above most of the trash in WWE today. Including Roman. JR is definitely way off though here. Maybe that boomer isn't as intelligent as we all thought him to be.

Eddie wasnt shit until he latched on to Chyna and started doing the Latino Heat gimmick. Before that him and Malenko were Benoit and Saturns Janettys. You can immediately disrefard anyone who teels you Eddie is their favorite wrestler since they just revealed to you that they suffer from some form of mental impairment.

The domestic wrestling market literally crashed by the time Eddie had won the belt due to Austin's heel turn, the overblown HHH push, 9/11, the Invasion Angle, WCW flopping etc. It wasn't his fault

lol that is stupid. Not saying Saturn is shit but of the radicals he was absolutely the Janetty of the group which is saying a lot since Malenko was also in this group. WWE literally had nothing for Saturn which is stupid considering how good of an in ring wrestler he was. At least put him in another tag team and make an elimnators 2.0 ffs WWE that could have been great.

His ridiculous Moppy gimmick is when he was most over, ironic since it was meant to be a punishment.

WWE was never going to let him get even into midcard territory. He had a very low ceiling. Which is why his best chance would have been if he formed another fun tag team. I just don't know who it could have been with though since I doubt they'd have hired Kronus and he died I think in 06 anyways. That was one of the most fun tag teams to watch so duplicating that with someone else instead of Kronus might have been impossible idk. I just don't think Saturn deserves to be shit on like that though. Neither did Raven and at least like 20+ guys from ECW and WCW.
