Vanilla Ice just bought a cool piece of pro wrestling history.
Eddie Guerrero was famous for introducing lowrider cars as part of his entrance in WWE. Rapper and noted car collector, Vanilla Ice just bought of the most high-profile cars linked to the late WWE Superstar.
Vanilla Ice shared how he recently bought the lowrider that Eddie posed with on the cover of Lowrider magazine. Eddie Guerrero and the orange 1985 Cadillac Fleetwood were on the February 2004 cover of LowRider magazine.
Ice said he found a guy who restored cars, but the man didn’t know that the vehicle was owned by someone famous. He ended up buying the car for $15,000 — well below the estimated $30,000 the owner had put into restoring the vehicle.

CM Punk on Eddie Guerrero
CM Punk recently appeared as a special guest on Elite Comics 11‘s charity stream. There, he spoke about the time he worked a triple-threat match with Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. It was during his early days as a wrestler. Punk noted how working with the two set a new bar for him, and it was up to him to reach it.
“Oh God, a match? A match where I kind of figured things out? I really don’t know. I’d really have to think about it and maybe working with Rey Mysterio and Eddie (Guerrero) for the first time. We famously did a three-way in like a — I don’t know. It was like a school gymnasium somewhere in Indianapolis or it was somewhere in Indiana or something like that for IWA (Mid-South). It was when Eddie was in between jobs.
“Rey, WCW had just kind of folded. Rey was one of the guys that was not signing with WWE right away and that one kind of put me on the map, but it also gave a lot of stuff that — I knew I wasn’t as good as I thought I was at that moment, you know? Working with pros like Rey and Eddie and so, it just kind of set me down the path of there’s a whole new bar for me after working with these guys and I have to try to reach to get to it, you know?”
