- Actor
- Soundtrack
One of the great Hispanic wrestlers, Eddie Guerrero grew up part of the
famous wrestling family: The Guerreros. His father Gory Guerrero became
a star in the U.S., an icon in Texas and a legend in Mexico. Eddie's
brothers, Hector, Amadno and Chavo, Sr. also became wrestlers. Both
Hector and Amando gain success, but only in the Indie federations, and
not much success as their father or other two brothers had gained in
the majors. Eddie's nephew, Chavo Guerro, Jr., son of Chavo, Sr., also
became a wrestler (Chavo, Jr. was only three years younger than his
uncle). Eddie was also uncle of Enrique Llanes and cousin of Javier
Llanes, who are popular wrestlers in Mexico.
Eddie had wrestling since the 1989. He really made his name in the
now-defunct ECW (Extreme championship Wrestling) by winning the ECW
Ecxtreme Championship Wrerstling) TV Title against Dean Simon (aka Dean
Malenko). Eddie also made his name later that year in now-defunct WCW
(World Championship Wrestling) to win the Cruiserweight Championship by
defeating Chris Jericho. Also while in the company, he formed Latino
World Order (A playoff to Hulk Hogan's (Hollywood Hogan at the
time)stable, New World Order).
The stable included popular Latino wrestler Rey Mysterio, Jr. (Oscar
Gutierrez), La Parka (Adolfo Tapia Ibarra), Psychosis (Dionicio
Castellanos) and Juventud Guerrera (Eduardo Annibal Gonzalez
Hernandez).
When Eddie came to the WWE, he was a heel, and immediately gained fame
when he was part of the Radicalz, with Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko and
long time friend of fifteen years, Chris Benoit. In recent years, he
and and his nephew Chavo, Jr. began a tag team called Los Guerreros and
won the WWE Tag Team titles on Smackdown! against Team Angle (Charlie
Haas and Shelton Benjamin). After this stint, Eddie Guerrero went on to
win the WWE Championhip (His first and only time) at No Way Out in 2004
against Brock Lesnar. He lost the title to John "Bradshaw" Layfield
four months later at the Great American Bash in a Texas Bull Rope
Match.
Recently, wrestling fans and the people of the WWE mourn of the lost of
Eddie when he was found by his nephew, Chavo Jr. (who back then known
as Kerwin White) on a Sunday morning in November, 2005. The result of
his death was most likely been caused by his problems in the past:
Drugs and alcohol.
