10 Wrestlers Who Modelled Their Whole Style On Other Wrestlers

10. Sasha Banks - Eddie Guerrero

Sasha Banks is one of the most accomplished female performers ever seen inside a WWE ring. The fact that you can say that about half of the women's roster now doesn't make it any less true, but it does highlight just how low the bar has been for their in-ring expectations for decades. Not the fault of the women, of course, because up until very recently WWE wasn't hiring them for their wrestling nous.

While their corporate-pushed Women's Revolution is designed to make you forget just how far they deliberately sank the standards, it always crops up again when any woman currently wrestling is asked who their in-ring idols were growing up. If it's not one of the scant handful of female trailblazers, it usually has to be a man instead. One example where that's not as damning as it normally is though, is in the case of Sasha Banks.

"I've always wanted to wrestle like the guys, but I never had woman figure in the WWE. The time I was watching you had to be on the cover of Playboy to get a storyline, and it was so frustrating for me to watch that. But I always watch guys like Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and Dean Malenko, and I always wanted to be like that. My number one was Eddie. I don't know what made me connect to him so much. He was the first match that I saw that hooked me on wrestling. Everything about him I just love. I want to be the female Eddie Guerrero".

I'll just say it once more for anyone who missed it the first 1000 times - she hit the Frog Splash, at WrestleMania, in Texas, for the newly-revamped Women's Championship, and that not being the finish is one of the dumbest decisions in the company's entire history.
