Eddie Guerrero

Character from WWE by WWE / TKO Group

Latino Heat — a man who lied, cheated, and stole his way into the hearts of every fan, then won the world championship and proved the heart was real all along.

Lie, Cheat, and Steal. Eddie Guerrero was the most beloved rogue in WWE history — a man who cheated in every match and made the crowd complicit in every shortcut with nothing more than a flash of that 1000-watt smile. Latino Heat. From the Guerrero wrestling dynasty, Eddie combined technical mastery, unimpeachable character work, and a personal story of redemption that gave everything he did on television additional weight. He won the WWE Championship in 2004 to one of the most emotionally resonant reactions the arena has produced. His passing in 2005 remains the saddest day in wrestling history.

Appearance

Low-rider entrance in his full face-heat era, gold trunks, the hair slicked back and perfect. The frog splash — dedicated to his friend Art Barr — is one of the most beloved finishing moves in wrestling. His Eddie wiggle before the move is as much a part of the spot as the splash itself.

Also known as: Latino Heat, Lie Cheat Steal
