Eddie Guerrero

 Eddie Guerrero


Eddie Guerrero was a second generation professional wrestler who was born in El Paso, TX. Eddie Guerrero wrestled in various wrestling promotions throughout the world including in Mexican Lucha Libre promotions, Japan, and WCW. Guerrero became one of the best skilled technical wrestlers and was also a high flyer. Because of his amazing wrestling acumen, he was probably envied. 

This was first seen in WCW when the great wrestlers of Chris Benoit, Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn were having great matches in WCW. They were talented wrestlers in the mid-card that had fast paced matches. They were well received by fans yet were not promoted because of their height. The great wrestlers moved to the top promotion in the US where they also impressived fans. 

Guerrero, Benoit, Malenko, and Saturn were among the best wrestlers due to their fast paced matches and also for improving in their skill set. Malenko was known as" the man of a thousand holds" meaning he was skilled in technical wrestling. Benoit, Guerrero, and Saturn learned from Malenko. All four wrestlers improved having great matches. 

Guerrero and Benoit would make it to the top card in the late 2000s and early 2010s. Both impressed by their creativity being able to hold great matches. Guerrero would innovate with new moves that had never been seen in the past. Guerrero's slingshot, calf kick, modified lariat submission move, and triple suplex were impressive. Guerrero also had an impressive frog splash finisher. Guerrero became top champion and would be the first Mexican American wrestler to win the top title in American wrestling. He was having high caliber matches and rivalries with amazing wrestlers including Chris Benoit, Angle, and RVD. He had great matches while not being a champion and died at an early age from a heart attack. It is possible that he was envied for being an amazing wrestler (similar to Davey Smith). Guerrero was probably gangstalked by socialists for being well received by wrestling fans, being dedicated, and innovating wrestling. It is unknown if there was racism and/or heightism involved. Guerrero cared about wrestling. Benoit, who was French Canadian, would also die a few years later after Guerrero which causes questions as to how two of the greatest wrestlers of all time could have died at an early age. Wrestling fans respected both wrestlers for their great talent and dedication to wrestling. (Benoit probably did not harm himself and his family. The concussion theory does not make sense seeing that there are professional boxers who were hit on the head yet did not become hostile. Benoit probably did not harm himself nor his family. Benoit was probably envied.) Despite the possible envy, Guerrero and Benoit taught us that size (and heightism) does not matter and instead it is the talent and dedication that matters. Guerrero and Benoit are within the top five wrestlers of all time
