WWE 2K16: 15 Legends Who Could Be The Flagship Star
5. Eddie Guerrero
Incredibly, this November will see the tenth anniversary of the untimely death of one of WWEs most popular and talented performers, the premier member of the legendary Guerrero family: Eddie Guerrero. While he portrayed many different versions of himself during his wrestling career, Guerrero is most famous for the Latino Heat character. Whether the heel-with-the-heart-of-gold or the babyface with a villains tactics (and hed chop and change so much between the two that there was barely any difference), the former WWE champion was beloved for his cheeky charisma as much as for his technical prowess. Its an open secret that, with the implosion of the Sin Cara concept and the loss of Rey Mysterio and Alberto Del Rio, WWE is conspicuously failing to address their huge and lucrative Hispanic fanbase at present. New NXT call-up Kalisto may well prove to be the new Mysterio where Sin Cara failed, but for now theres a gap in the market. Having the most famous son of the most celebrated Mexican-American family in history named as the companys flagship games featured star could easily sway pre-orders from that market, and provide some good publicity for the WWE brand. And who wouldnt want Guerrero versus Guerrero: no, not Eddie vs. Chavo again, but the mulleted member of the Radicalz facing off against Latino Heat himself? Thats a winner.
