10 Legendary Promos All Wrestlers Must Study

6. Eddie Guerrero Blames Rey Mysterio

https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1421914688&x-yt-cl=84503534&v=3aGdIlxGa30 Best remembered as a smiling, passionate babyface who managed to reach the big time and live out his dream, Eddie Guerrero is an often-missed performer amongst fans today. It's been said that they don't make them like they used to, and Guerrero is a picture-perfect example of that. As flexible as they come, Eddie excelled whether he was playing the fan favourite or the despised villain. His feud with Rey Mysterio in 2005 did eventually take a turn for the bizarre, especially when custody of Mysterio's son, Domenic, was put on the line in a Ladder Match, but there were some great moments during the rivalry. One of them is this in-ring promo from Guerrero, who - just like any truly great heel - justifies his nefarious actions by saying both Rey and the WWE fans were jealous of him, so he had to teach them a lesson. Showing fire and ego in equal measures, Guerrero is believable in the role, and his facial expressions are brilliant here.
