Chris Jericho, CM Punk and Others Pay Classy Tribute to Eddie Guerrero at AEW Full Gear 2021

The running theme for AEW Full Gear was a tribute to Eddie Guerrero and to his memory. From the very beginning to the end, almost everyone paid a tribute to Eddie Guerrero.

Some of the pro-wrestlers among them are CM Punk and Chris Jericho.

Before Punk’s match, he announced that this was for Eddie Guerrero. Moreover, during his match against Eddie Kingston, the fans chimed in and started cheering “Eddie”. While it could have been for Kingston himself, it’s doubtful the fans would choose Kingston over Punk.

Clearly, this was a subtle tribute to Guerrero from the fans.

On the other hand, Chris Jericho paid a tribute to Eddie Guerrero when he executed the late wrestler’s move, the frog splash, during The Inner Circle’s match.

The Lucha Bros paid their tribute to Guerrero with Lie, Cheat, Steal.

Keeping them aside, even Matt Hardy paid a tribute to Guerrero with a special message on social media.
