CM Punk recently took to Rey Mysterio’s Instagram to reminisce about a match the two of them had with Eddie Guererro back in 2002. Wrestled for IWA-Mid South, the three-way dance occurred in a brief yearlong window when Eddie wasn’t wrestling for WWE and Rey hadn’t yet made his WWE debut. Rey posted a photo of the contest with the following caption.

What a throwback pic!
Never would of imagined how our destinies would turn out after this night! #RIP#MissYouEddie#MissYaPunk
Punk responded in the comments and gave a bit of background on the match.
People should know how good Eddie really was. He was in a rough spot. Recently fired, home front was turbulent. He came to this show and looked tired. Said to me “I hate three ways. If it’s okay with you, can you and Rey put something together and just call it to me?” I wasn’t sure that was possible. He didn’t miss a beat. And you Rey, so open and giving to a little punk Indy kid. You laid out a masterpiece and I wasn’t sure I could keep up. One of the early times I remember being in the ring and thinking to myself, “this is fucking MAGIC!” A pleasure. An honor. I miss Eddie, truly fortunate to have worked him as many times as I did. I feel the same about you Rey! Legends, who treated me like an equal, and I’ve never forgotten it. Viva la raza!
