Eddie Guerrero (born Eduardo Guerrero on September 9, 1967 in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico) is a professional wrestler performing for World Wrestling Entertainment on the Smackdown! brand. He comes from a legendary wrestling family.
His father, Salvador "Gory" Guerrero is considered one of the greatest wrestlers in Mexican history. His oldest brother, Chavo Guerrero, Sr., is a legendary junior heavyweight wrestler, feuding with Japanese legend Atsushi Onita. His brother Hector Guerrero is also somewhat well-known and his brother Mando Guerrero isn't as well know as the others. His nephew, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. is a wrestler for WWE also.
Eddie debuted in the late 1980's in Mexico. He also spent much time in Japan for New Japan Pro Wrestling as Black Tiger II. It was in Mexico he became a legend, well before his major run the the United States.
Eddie wrestled mainly for Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion in Mexico, teaming with Art Barr forming the tag team Los Gringos Locos. They became the most hated team in lucha libre history. They were noticed in late 1994 by the then-booker for Extreme Championship Wrestling Paul Heyman and were to wrestle for him in 1995. Sadly, Art Barr died before he could join ECW with Eddie.
While in ECW, Eddie won the ECW World Television Title right away. He also had a series of excelent matches with Dean Malenko before they both jumped to World Championship Wrestling later that year.
In WCW, he found considerable singles success. He was involved in a serious car accident in 1997 that almost costed him his life, but returned to the ring a few months afterwards. He turned heel in 1998, a role which he is best at, judging from his days in AAA in Mexico. Around this time, he became unhappy with WCW management and jumped to the then-WWF in 2000, with Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and Perry Saturn.
In WWE, he has been pretty successful, spending time as both a heel and a babyface. But by this time, he developed an addiction to pain medication stemming from his 1997 car accident and was breifly let go for it to get help. He would return several months later back in his old form.
Eddie Guerrero is one of the best wrestlers in WWE right now. Combining great in-ring skills with charisma and good microphone skills to be a complete performer.
