10 Wrestling Moments You Didn’t Realise Inspired People To Become Wrestlers
5. Sasha Banks - WrestleMania 21: Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rey Mysterio
You could argue that Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio's best performances against one another came outside of the biggest wrestling promotion on the planet.
However, that doesn't mean that their numerous encounters in a WWE ring didn't leave young fans picking their jaws up off the floor. One of their showdowns in particular led to Raw Women's Champion Sasha Banks deciding that she wanted to be just like her hero 'Latino Heat'.
In an interview with Sky Sports, 'The Boss' mentioned that 'I knew right when I saw him that I wanted to do exactly what he did.'
Going into more detail in a WWE.com interview, Banks said that Mysterio and Guerrero's WrestleMania 21 match made her want to be the 'female Eddie Guerrero' and she even used a couple of things from that match in her many battles with rival Charlotte Flair as she 'just wanted to be like' her hero.
Banks has paid homage to the former WWE Champion through her in-ring attire in the past and has even performed his signature frog splash on occasion, but it's interesting to note that this was the bout which made her decide that she wanted to emulate her hero and become a performer in the ring.
