Hard work pays off

Eddy Guerrero is the new WWE champ defeating Brock Lesnar at the WWE
pay-per-view No Way Out on Sunday, Feb. 15 at the famous Cow Palace in
San Francisco.

Goldberg attacked Lesnar with a spear, helping Guerrero capture the
coveted title.

Earlier in the show, Chavo Guerrero Jr. won the cruiserweight title
beating Rey Mysterio Jr.

On a night when Chavito and Chavo Sr. had reason to celebrate their
Guerrero name, uncle Eddy upstaged the jealous family members.

Kurt Angle defeated Big Show and John Cena to become the No. 1
contender for the WWE title at WrestleMania XX. That sets up Angle
against the new champ Guerrero at WrestleMania.

The storyline with Angle's involvement in the Guerrero family turmoil
leads to this stellar confrontation of two of the best workers in the
company.

• Rikishi and Scotty 2 Hotty retained the WWE tag belts defeating the
Bashams with Shaniqua.

• The World's Greatest Tag Team Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas
defeated the APA Bradshaw and Faarooq.

• Hardcore Holly beat Rhyno.

• Jamie Noble defeated Nidia.

• WrestleMania XX is Sunday, March 14 at Madison Square Garden in New
York City.

• The WWE Hall Of Fame induction ceremony is returning to WrestleMania
weekend beginning 6:45 p.m. Saturday, March 13 in Times Square. The
event -- which includes superstar autographs, a meeting with HOF
inductees, souvenir items and an open bar -- already soldout.

• The traditional Bacon, Bagels and Biceps Brunch with the WWE stars
is 10 a.m. Sunday, March 14 at the Grand Ballroom of the New York
Hilton Hotel on the Avenue of The Americas between West 53rd and West
54th in New York City.

In addition to a full served breakfast, fans will enjoy hearing from a
dozen or more WWE superstars who will be on-stage to answer questions
before they trek to Madison Square Garden for WrestleMania. Cost is
$110.
