#Rey mysterio vs eddie guerrero how to
They circle to start, figuring out how to get going. Jim Fannin and Ace Steel are on commentary. Punk still wears basketball shorts to wrestle.

Dave Prazak is still a wet-haired goof and Punk’s manager. He spits on the ground when a few people cheer him. But at least he doesn’t have little horns glued to his head. Rey is still unmasked, he didn’t put that back on until he got to WWE. Punk was an up-and-comer we all thought had the goods on the mic.

Mysterio would debut for WWE five months later, and Guerrero was right between stints with the company, getting his feet back under him on the indies. Punk is defending his IWA MS heavyweight title against two incoming superstars. This is one of the first IWA Mid-South matches I ever saw. IWA Mid-South Spring Heat, Indianapolis, IN
