Dominik Mysterio recently highlighted a lesser-recognized trait of the late Eddie Guerrero. In an interview with Billboard, the WWE Intercontinental Champion talked about the possibility of surpassing Gunther’s 666-day reign as IC champion, including his victory at SummerSlam over AJ Styles.
When asked about Guerrero’s in-ring abilities, Dominik emphasized that Eddie possessed an exceptional ring IQ that set him apart from others, which was key to his success. He said, “I believe in his ring IQ. People notice his impressive in-ring skills and accomplishments, but what stands out is how he combined moves and managed his emotions during matches, something that is often overlooked.”
Dominik further shared that anyone stepping into the ring with Guerrero would quickly recognize he was the best partner to work with. Referees have repeatedly praised Eddie as the top collaborator during matches when changes needed to be made spontaneously, underscoring that his ring IQ is his most undervalued talent.
Dominik Mysterio was last seen competing in this week’s match against Dragon Lee, which he won following El Grande Americano’s third debut. More details about the match are available.
Fan Take: This insight from Dominik sheds new light on Eddie Guerrero’s legacy, reminding WWE fans that his intellect and emotional control in the ring were as crucial as his physical talent. Recognizing such qualities could inspire current and future wrestlers to value mental agility alongside athletic ability, potentially elevating the quality of matches in WWE.
