Former referee Nick Patrick recently shared his reflections on working with the late Eddie Guerrero during an appearance on the “Monday Mailbag” podcast by AdFreeShows. Patrick who had the privilege of collaborating with Guerrero both in WCW and WWE offered insights into the wrestling virtuoso’s incredible talent.
“We had a lot of fun together,” Patrick reminisced. “He’d improvise a lot of things too. He was a master craftsman. I met him earlier in his career, and he was already excellent. He was very good. By the time he got to where he was the world champion, man, he had polish, and he was so fun to work with. All those different little spots and little gimmicks.”
Eddie Guerrero’s wrestling journey was nothing short of remarkable. From his early days in the ring to becoming a world champion he showcased a level of skill and creativity that set him apart from the rest. Patrick’s admiration for Guerrero’s in-ring artistry was evident as he described him as “so creative” and “so entertaining.”
One of the aspects that defined Eddie Guerrero’s career was his ability to engage the audience through his captivating “lie, cheat, and steal” persona in WWE. Guerrero would go to great lengths to deceive referees including Nick Patrick during his matches. This cunning character added an extra layer of entertainment to his bouts and solidified his status as a fan favorite.

His impact transcends championships and accolades as it resides in the hearts of fans who remember him not only as a master craftsman in the ring but also as a beloved figure in the wrestling community.
Guerrero’s journey in the squared circle began in September 1986 and over the years, he graced promotions such as AAA, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, ECW, WCW, and WWE. Along the way, he captured various championships including the prestigious WWE Championship at WWE No Way Out 2004.
