10 Most Rebellious Anti-Heroes In WWE History
6. Eddie Guerrero
If faces are supposed to abide by the rulebook and heels toss it in the garbage, nobody ever told Eddie Guerrero.
Guerrero distracted the referee, used weapons when the officials weren’t looking, grabbed tights for leverage, and resorted to a number of other dirty tactics to secure a win. The “lie, cheat, steal”, mantra wasn’t just a catchphrase to him, but a concept that defined his whole existence. Eddie Guerrero was a dirty, rotten scoundrel with little moral fibre, so how did he become one of the most universally beloved wrestlers in the sport’s history?
Eddie got away with it not only for his infectious charisma and stunning wrestling ability, but for his story. From career-threatening injuries to crushing personal demons, Guerrero endured the kind of hardships that would flatten lesser men. He’s a guy who fought, clawed, and scratched his way to the top of the pile through sheer force of will, and his WWE Championship win at No Way Out 2004 remains one of the most cathartic moments in modern WWE history.
For all Guerrero’s loose morals, he always came-off as a guy with a gigantic heart. His actions weren’t that of a traditionally “good” guy, but Eddie pulled them off with such flair that even when he got caught, the fans were still rooting for him.
