Eddie Guerrero

[10.0] "Eddie Guerrero is one of the greatest wrestlers to have ever lived. He had endless charisma although he was a much better heel. His last couple of years as a loveable cheating babyface is some of the best work not only of his career but any career."

[10.0] "At the part of rating every WWE champ where I git Eddie and I actually don't have many words for this one. I mean, whats there to say? Lie cheat and steal baby... just one of the most magical performers of an entire era. Absolutely deserves all the flowers and credit he gets."

[10.0] "Eddie/Eddy was significant in the pro wrestling industry in north america for being (what was considered an undersized guy at the time) who really broke the mould, was allowed to show off his ring-work, his latent charisma, and is a benchmark performers are still being held to, to this very day. He is also the first wrestler I ever loved watching as a boy, so - sorry for everyone who came after, but you have a hell of a lot of nostalgia to top there."

[10.0] "Eddie Guerrero is one of the most legendary, talented and beloved wrestlers of all time. NWA territories, lucha, Japan, the indies, WCW and WWE - it didn't matter; he was able to thrive and deliver incredible performances and matches across an incredibly wide range of wrestling environments. His talent was so extraordinary that he broke the traditional perception in WWE that a "small guy" couldn't be a world champion, becoming one of the true trailblazers in that regard. From 2002 to 2005, he produced unforgettable work through his characters, in-ring performances and matches. Eddie overcoming his addiction and becoming a world champion is one of the most emotional and inspiring underdog victories in wrestling history. No matter who his opponent was, it was difficult to find anyone who could speak and wrestle with as much passion as Eddie. He was such a charismatic and genuine person that he could even make lying, cheating and stealing feel sympathetic. His chemistry with Rey, Benoit, JBL and Angle produced dozens of unforgettable matches. His aggressive, methodical style in the ring was as captivating as his underdog performances. One of the central figures of SmackDown's greatest era, a master of telling stories with emotion and passion, an absolute legend. I love Eddie. VIVA LA RAZA!"

[10.0] "One of the Greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots. He could do it all in the ring, He could be a heel or face, he could be comedic or serious and could always put on a great match and promo. Lost him way too soon."

[10.0] "Awesome wrestler with one of the shortest careers as a in ring competitor he was great and his promos were good too"

[10.0] "Simply put: the greatest wrestler of all-time. He is my number 1 pro-wrestler and I miss him all the time. He was one of the most dynamic, fun, technical, and fluid wrestlers of all time. Every story I hear about him proves what a great man and wrestler he was. Rest in Peace to the greatest of all time."

[10.0] "If you were to build an ideal wrestler that was perfect in every aspect, it would be Eddie Guerrero."

[10.0] "Would be considered even more of a legend by a huge margin than he already is, if it wasn't for his early death at only 38. Aside everything you've read 100 times already, he was one of the most impressive actors to ever wrestle. Watch his entire feud with Rey Mysterio, especially, their angles on Smackdown. The emotion he was able to express is still unmatched, and he arguably died at the height of his work, because all I can say is; 20 years later, 2004-2005 Eddie Guerrero still feels like the peak of wrestling in so many ways. He went from one of the most likeable underdogs 2003-2004 to one of the coldest, darkest, angriest heels in 2005 like it was easy. Absolute perfection."

"What can I say. He really is one of the greatest to ever lace up boots. High flying spots and impecable story telling. May he rest in peace"

[10.0] "Without a doubt, Eddie Guerrero is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever exist. He could turn a turd into diamond he's that good. Amazing in-ring abilities, always compelling storyteller, and someone who can work great in any match while also making anyone he was in the ring with into bigger stars. And the sad part is, if not for his late passing, he could have been even greater that he is remembered for being. He's in my top 5 favourite wrestlers of all time for sure."

[10.0] "Without a doubt, one of the best performers to ever do it. There wasn't a thing about him that wasn't below a 10. He's incredible in the ring, he cut excellent promos, and he was one of the most charismatic guys at the time. Face, heel, he was the complete package in whatever you needed him to do. Probably the closest to being perfect a wrestler could be."

[10.0] "Originally written on 1/18/25: My first review of Eddie was quite rudimentary and short, and thinking about it, there's obviously much more to say about him. Eddie was always at the forefront, surpassing everyone in every way, in every venue. Unforgettable for many reasons, his matches are a delightful combination of agility, storytelling, and the element of surprise that always surrounded him. His charisma is also something to praise; so witty and mischievous, that attitude (somehow, as if under a spell) captivates you, making you feel drawn in and interested in his matches, his promos, everything about him. I've always seen people say that a certain wrestler could fit into any era without a problem, and for me, that special someone would be Eddie Guerrero. Eddie Guerrero was truly blessed, with the gift of doing everything well."

[10.0] "Eddie was the complete package. Could work any style and be face or heel. Very charismatic and pretty good on the mic. He really shined in the ring. Could have great matches with pretty well anyone. Was a main event level talent through and through and is very much missed."

[10.0] "Perhaps one of the greatest of all time. Easily. There really is no comparison when it comes to Eddie Guerrero. 10 is not a high enough rating for him."

[10.0] "Eddie Guerrero, simply put, was one of the greatest all around talents of all-time. Great technician, great high flyer, great heel, great face, great at comedy, great at serious angles, great talker, what is there that he couldn't do? Even 21 years after his death, he is truly missed."

[10.0] "Eddie Guerrero is simply the GOAT. Nothing about him feels overrated in any way. In the ring, he was absolutely surgical, with an unmatched sense of timing, psychology, and detail that made everything he did look meaningful. On top of that, he had god-tier charisma, the kind that draws you in instantly, whether he was a babyface or a heel. He was an incredible promo, backed up by genuinely great acting ability, able to make you believe in every emotion he wanted to convey. I never had the chance to see him wrestle live, but going back and rewatching his matches now... honestly, my god, this guy was unreal. Just on another level."

[10.0] "Eddie Guerrero was an incredible wrestler, especially for his era, and honestly one of the greatest of all time when it comes to in-ring psychology. He understood wrestling on a deeper level than most. He could work power, submissions, and technical sequences with ease, and when he wanted to turn it on, he was explosive and athletic too. Eddie was the definition of an all-around performer and a perfectionist. Whatever role he was given, he committed to it completely and made it work at the highest level. His love for wrestling was always obvious, you could feel how passionate he was every time he stepped into the ring. He influenced countless wrestlers who came after him and his impact is still felt today. Add in his natural charisma and ability to connect with the crowd, and you have a true legend of the sport."

[10.0] "Another guy I have to give a 10 for. Eddie Guerrero was a tad awkward in WCW but the matches were terrific. To see him come into his own as a character after the LWO run and his run in the WWF, he showed his range and proved to be one of the best to ever do it."

[10.0] "To this day, Eddie's irresistible charm is still pretty much unrivaled. It's only fair to say that there was something about Eddie's natural swagger, his immaculate flow, his extravagant personality and infectious energy that made him such a fascinating character. El vato loco could be comedy gold through his ludicrous goofiness, his hilarious over-the-top facial expressions, his signature spanglish and excessive use of slangs (ese, vato, homes, and everything in between). Amazingly enough, he could be just as brilliant whenever he had to be taken seriously. That Latino Heat of his was for real, the passion and the intensity he could bring to the table remain on par with the best of them, and his promo skills as that dead serious competitor could move mountains, and as a matter of fact, that addiction promo on the eve of his crowning moment against Brock at Now Way Out, might be my favorite promo of all time. So yeah, Eddie's range was pretty unique, and not just as a character, as he was just as unique in that ring. He was never the biggest, but he was incredibly slick, sneaky, smooth and ingenious. He was a perfect blend of lucha libre tradition and technical prowess, but also a master trickster/cheater and an exceptional storyteller capable of some marvelous character work. That iconic "lie, cheat, steal" gimmick is such a treat! That glorious smile/smirk, the shimmy, the bravado, the fire... Eddie was a natural-born entertainer. There's a reason the man is one of the most genuinely and universally beloved professional wrestlers ever, and the fact that he died just one month after turning 38 years young and right when he was pushed to the main event scene again, only reinforce my conviction that the best was yet to come. Just imagine proper feuds with the likes of HBK, Triple H, Cena '07, Taker, Edge, Orton, Punk, Hardy, even guys like Del Rio, Ziggler or Kofi, even some more Rey Mysterio! Not only did we got robbed of some more pro wrestling magic, but the world got robbed of a wonderful human being. ¡Viva Eddie Guerrero cabrones!"

[10.0] "The golden child of the Guerrero family, and probably the gold standard of 90s WCW and early 00s WWF/E. The man had incredible technical prowess, incredible capacity for ring work, and great skill in getting the crowd to believe in him and the work he was doing. The massive catalogue of great matches this man had across multiple promotions, and over multiple decades, gives me no choice but to give him the highest rating I can. It's a shame some of his best work was with Benoit; it took a long time for those matches to get their deserved praise by anyone who wasn't tuned in live to them. I'm glad they are more accessible to a newer crowd now- watch him if you want to learn how you work a damn match, kids."

[10.0] "My personal GOAT. He had it all, the technical wrestling ability, the swag, the charisma on and off the mic, and the iconic moves. A legend in the business that was gone way too soon. RIP Eddie."

[10.0] "One of my Goats Eddie was just so freaking cool and was a Fantastic Professional Wrestler he legacy and work stood the time of time he was Amazing"

[10.0] "In a way it's a shame that Eddie didn't get a main event push til a couple years before he died, but in another way, it was the perfect end to an amazing career. I think if he hadn't passed away, he'd have had at least one or maybe two more World Title runs. To me, Eddie was one of the best of all time. It was a pleasure watching his work rate and storytelling in the ring. And it was his character and mic work that made him one of my favorites. There will never be another Eddie Guerrero."

[10.0] "Eddie Guerrero was the total package--charisma, technical skill, storytelling, and heart. Whether he was making you laugh, cry, or jump out of your seat, he had a rare ability to connect with the audience on a deeply personal level. Matches like vs. Brock at No Way Out 2004 and his rivalry with Rey Mysterio are still masterclasses in psychology. He made every second count in the ring and left a legacy that still shapes wrestling today. Viva La Raza forever."

[10.0] "Eddie was my favorite wrestler while he was alive, and his work & legacy has stood the test of time well. The ECW & WCW stuff was topnotch, and he kept that going through the Smackdown Six and his main event run. Viva La Raza!"

[8.0] "Ever the entertainer, I have always enjoyed Eddies work and matches. A fantastic heel and an endearing babyface, I enjoyed his WWF title run which included some highly memorable matches. Taken far too soon I am Latino Heat will be an enduring legacy for many years to come."

[9.0] "Another of my absolute favourites. Great in the ring and fun as a character. Eddie was one of the greatest."

[10.0] "A true one-off, the likes of which will never be seen again. Eddie combined it all - great contact with the audience, an impressively fast and at the same time smart style of conducting matches, incredible charisma and outstanding skills on the microphone. All this was evident in Eddie during his performances in the tag division in Mexico, and later in ECW, WCW and the independent companies, and by the time of his greatest triumph in WWE, he tried to become better and better, and definitely deserved everything he was able to achieve with real hard work."

"He lied, cheated, and stole his way into our hearts! You cannot help but love him. His jovial, scheming personality was what made that promo with Brock so memorable. He was not promoting a match at all - he was speaking from the heart. That was when I became a fan of his!"

[10.0] "Eddie Guerrero was a true pioneer who brought a unique blend of lucha libre and technical wrestling to the forefront of the industry. Born into the legendary Guerrero family, Eddie's roots in Mexico instilled in him the high-flying, innovative style of lucha libre. Early in his career, he formed a tag team with Art Barr in AAA, where their chemistry captured the imagination of fans and set the stage for what was to come. His charisma and undeniable talent quickly made him a standout performer, paving the way for a career that would influence countless wrestlers after him. During his WCW run, Eddie showcased his versatility in matches against some of the best in the business, trading blows with Rey Mysterio Jr., Vampiro, and DDP among others. Despite his undeniable talent, WCW didn't fully tap into his potential, which ultimately led him to jump ship to WWE. Once in WWE, Eddie truly shined with his "Lie, Cheat, and Steal" persona, turning every match into a captivating story. His pinnacle moment came when he captured the WWE Championship from Brock Lesnar--a triumph that was both hard-fought and symbolic of his perseverance. One of the most memorable WrestleMania endings in history came with Chris Benoit by his side, a moment that not only celebrated his championship victory but also encapsulated his magnetic connection with the audience. Eddie's legacy in wrestling is immeasurable. He wasn't just a performer--he was a trailblazer who redefined what it meant to be a complete wrestler. His innovative in-ring style, combined with his larger-than-life charisma, helped shape the modern era of professional wrestling. Even after his untimely passing, his influence is still felt in every high-flying move and technical sequence executed by today's wrestlers. Eddie Guerrero remains a beloved icon whose impact transcends championships and accolades, leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts and minds of wrestling fans around the world."

"Any living breathing human being on Earth can watch thirty seconds of Eddie Guerrero, understand what he's about, and immediately get behind him. It's that simple. The greatest wrestler of all time."

[10.0] "Viva La Raza. That is it. His in-ring repertoire has spanned decades even though he passed so early. Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar etc. are matches that made him from a really fun in-ring worker to legend. His charisma was also off the charts. Riding in a lowrider to the ring is pure aura."

[9.0] "He was literally good at everything, one of the greatests out there ever, his charisma his ring skill, his mic skill, all were awesome one of the most talented wrestlers ever for sure."

[10.0] "No offense Hamza Tufail, I get that we all have our own opinions, but you're out of your goddamn mind. "I think he lacked charisma." Eddie Guerrero? Get the fuck outta here! Eddie had such a great range, much like what I said about Mick Foley earlier today. He could make you laugh. He could definitely make you cry. He could be a beloved babyface, and a dastardly heel... I think you need to do more research. Now, moving on from that, Eddie's matches don't really need to be explained. His bouts against Benoit, Angle, Jericho, Mysterio, and Lesnar are still being talked about today because of how ahead-of-it's-time they are."

[10.0] "Eddie had it all man, the look, the charisma, amazing in the ring and most importantly connection with the fans. Eddie had an legendary career from tearing up it in WCW Cruiserweight Division and NJPW Junior Heavyweight Division and ECW. Eddie Really became one of the best ever when he signed with WWE. Eddie could play a underdog feel good babyface a guy you wanna root for and an lying cheating & Stealing heel to perfection. Eddie was taken from us to soon but was still able to leave lasting impact on the world. Viva La Raza"

[10.0] "Quite simply, Eddie Guerrero is the reason I am a wrestling fan. I was flipping through channels as a 7-year-old on a Saturday morning, and I happened upon Los Guerreros vs The World's Greatest Tag Team from the previous night's SmackDown. I saw Eddie do something I'd never seen before - a combined headscissors and armdrag on both Haas and Benjamin - and I was hooked. In the years after that, his promos and matches continued to bring me laughter and amazement, and he truly had it all - the look, the athleticism, comedy, drama, workrate, etc. etc. He was an all-rounder to a degree that I'm not sure has been equalled since. He was taken from us far too soon and it was a terrible waste. Wrestling has been poorer without him ever since. RIP."

[10.0] "He excelled in every role he played. Good guy, bad guy, it didnt matter. One of the blueprints on how the narrative on small wrestlers have changed over the years even tho he was pretty jacked for his size. The impact he made in the industry continues to be felt today. One of a kind"

[10.0] "One of the very few wrestlers who could captivate an audience and have the ability to be an incredibly good wrestler. Eddie was an all round perfect wrestler, the only other two like that (from the US) were Shawn Michaels and Kurt Angle. Eddie belongs in that class. Worked his ass off for so long, from teaming with Art Barr in Mexico, being Black Tiger II in NJPW, a little short stint in ECW, making an impact in WCW and finally going to WWE and winning the WWE Championship. Oozed charisma and could back it up in-ring whenever he needed to. You could see he was declining a little during his final year or two, but it didn't stop him from putting on classic matches that are still talked about. One of the greatest to ever do it, and truly paved a way for smaller guys in wrestling. Eddie Guerrero is and will forever be a legend in professional wrestling."

[10.0] "My all time favorite wrestler. From his classic bouts in ECW against Dean Malenko, being the gold standard of all the cruiserweights in WCW, and carrying that over in WWF, Eddie was almost always must see TV. A legend that we tragically lost too soon, and was, in my opinion, the last truly extraordinary professional wrestler."

[10.0] "Eddie was good at every single aspect of wrestling and probably had more charisma than anyone in the business who never left for Hollywood. Eddies the reason a lot of people got interested in wrestling, myself included, and is truly one of the greatest to ever do it."

"Eddie was a genius in the ring and wrestled with an intensity unlike many before and after him. His match with Brock Lesnar at Unforgiven will always be one of my favorites simply for the pop Eddie got for winning"

"For me, Eddie is one of a few wrestlers that is able to evoke such a visceral reaction as not just a babyface but as a heel. While a lot of his career happened when I was quite young, he was very much one of my favorites growing up. Now, as an adult, it's super fun to go back and dissect what he does on the mic and in-ring. Speaking of on the mic, I firmly believe that his addiction promo in the lead up to No Way Out 2003 is the greatest promo of all time. While I do not expect every one to agree with that sentiment I just felt like it deserved a mention"

[10.0] "One of the most talented wreatlers of all time. Great technical wrestler and high flyer. He's very charismatic. His matches with the Smackdown 6 were amazing. All time legend"

[10.0] "Very unique talent. Eddie could easily make you cheer or boo him and his work in the ring speaks for itself. It's a shame he was taken from us way too soon. He was still so young and had much more to offer inside the ropes. A legend that should never be forgotten."

[10.0] "you kidding me? this man is one of the most charismatic wrestlers in the ring, cutting a promo, and can work heel and face with the crowd. His talent is unapparelled, and while his career was cut short by his heart faliure, he is without a doubt a very influential wrestler for many current stars."

[10.0] "Eddie Guerrero is, in my humble opinion, the perfect wrestler. He is one of the greatest of all time, and as an aspiring wrestler myself, one of my biggest inspirations. He can go toe-to-toe with any wrestler, any era, and hold his own, if not outshine them. He has an abundance of charisma, and a connection with the audience that very few wrestlers have. He can play both sides of the face-heel spectrum and be one of the best you've ever seen at both. In his prime, nobody could match up to him. Just a minute ago when I was ranking Edge, I questioned if there was anyone as well-rounded as he is, and the answer to that question is Eddie Guerrero. He had already built up a massive legacy for himself before his untimely passing in November 2005, and had that not happened, I can't even begin to imagine how much further he could've gone. He is an inspiration, he is a hero, he's one of my favorites of all time, viva la raza."

[10.0] "1997 Eddie Guerrero could be time traveled to any era of wrestling to this day and his game and his character would shine. How anyone can have that mullet and that facial hair and also be the hottest thing in the world is proof that Eddie radiates a level of charisma you can't teach. His moves are so truly timeless and also ahead of their time, it's an absolute joy to watch him wrestle. His feud with Rey Mysterio Jr & the commentary he did in the lead up to Starrcade vs Dean Malenko in wcw 1997 feel like must watch tv. When he's a coward or a cheater, it's so fun to boo him, and when he strings together an unbelievably beautiful string of moves, culminating in a frog splash it feels like perfection. Rest in peace Eddie"

[10.0] "Its unfair how Eddie was taken from us so soon. He was one of the best to ever do it in the WWE, and I don't think you can find anyone that will differ."

[10.0] "VIVA LA RAZA! One of the greatest of all time , very enjoyable heel , maybe the best character in wrestling world. We miss you Eddie."
