100 Best Wrestling Moves EVER
53. Eddie Guerrero | Three Amigos Suplexes
Ask anyone who worked with the man to describe Eddie Guerrero and you'll get various words thrown back at you. Amongst other things, Guerrero was technically brilliant, charismatic, tempestuous and passionate about wrestling. One word normally echoes no matter who's asked to talk about 'Latino Heat' though. He was so, so smooth between the ropes.
Eddie made everything look so effortless. It wasn't, of course, but producing great matches came naturally to somebody who'd been around the game his whole life. "Smooth" was never more accurate than when Guerrero landed three sweet consecutive suplexes that involved a float over so slick you'd swear someone had sprayed WD-40 on his joints before going through the curtain that night.
The "Three Amigos", as they became known, should've been a basic (or even slightly dull) routine brought out during matches when the great man was fresh out of ideas or needed a breather. Nope. Eddie didn't operate that way. He turned something apparently everyday into a spot that had people jumping up out of their seats to cheer him on. Or boo him when he was playing heel.
This tri-pronged suplex series had range.
Each suplex was delivered with a sweet snap to it as well. That enabled Guerrero to keep hold of someone, spin his hips around, then position them for the next move. All three were usually identical too - that's how crisp Eddie was in-ring. A lot of modern day WWE stars use the Three Amigos as a tribute spot to one of their favourites. No-one does it quite as well as Guerrero did.
