Sticking with those with a fondness for incorporating weapons into one of their typical match-concluding sequences, but to a star who sometimes managed to get away with introducing many a foreign object without actually having to deck their opponent behind the ref's back.

Your writer is, of course, talking about the way the late great Eddie Guerrero would routinely lie, cheat, and steal his way to victory during his SmackDown prime on WWE television.

Endearing himself to the masses as everyone's favourite cheeky anti-hero, Latino Heat's penchant for smacking a chair against a canvas before launching it at his opponent and tumbling to the ground as the ref slowly came around made for one of the most hilarious and increasingly brilliant match finishes WWE had to offer at the time.

Of course, this tricking of the official didn't always go to plan - just look at his infamous c*ck-up against ol' pal Rey Mysterio when trying to mix a piece of tag team gold into their blue show skirmish - but the sheer level of creativity on show whenever Guerrero opted to bend the rules to victory made it near impossible to boo these typically villainous antics.
