Why? You might ask.

Well, think about it. Eobard made if very clear that in the Grand Scheme of things, Eddie was pointless.

In order to try and prove his uppity descendent wrong, Eddie shot himself.

Then, as it turns out, he's still forgotten.

IF Eddie had actually survived via Black Hole Made Out Of Time Travel/Speed Force, him claiming to have "almost" lost his mind would maybe account for his sudden obsession with breaking Barry.

In his now warped state, Eddie believes that Barry is responsible for a bunch of bad stuff.

"You have everything and deserve none of it," Barry has the girl and the respect of Central City, only because Eddie sacrificed himself for Barry.

"I've been with you since the beginning," Technically True, as Eddie was around with Team Flash since before the accident even.

"I'm sorry you have to die" To Iris, he doesn't really want to kill Iris, but in order to make Flash pay she has to die.

With all this, the warped desire to be remembered would be complete. Abra Kadabra made it clear that Savitar is the one that broke Barry so badly it's remembered all the way into the 64th Century.

Now, granted, this depends on quite a bit of lucky psycho breaking, but meh. It also doesn't account for the reason he was doing this before Flash trapped him in the Speed Force.

Maybe finding the Philosopher's Stone made him go coo coo as well, I don't know.

It can clearly influence people, or maybe Wally is just an idiot. So he was willing to kill the one person he loved just to make Barry suffer? That is dumb. Even worse than the Time Remnant as Savitar cause at least he actually didn't care about her due to feeling like he is a seperate person who hates Barry. This theory has always never worked cause just like having Ronnie or other good characters be evil, it relies on them being insane after their death or discovery of the Philosopher's Stone. The thing is that insanity doesn't work like that. There has to be a reason or real motive behind them falling into it.
