10 WWE Legends Who Ruled Suplex City Before Brock Lesnar

4. Eddie Guerrero

When it comes to technically-skilled wrestlers, there have been very few wrestlers who could match Eddie Guerrero. A complete wrestler if there ever was one, Eddie would do anything and everything in the ring, including drop his opponent with an impressive Suplex. Eddie used many different Suplex variations, but three stand out as his best. First, there was his take on the Back Suplex, which he would execute with incredible precision, which led to the move looking more painful than an average Back Suplex. Then, there€™s the snap Suplex, which is a vertical Suplex of sorts, but as soon as he had them in the air, Eddie would €˜snap€™ his body and drive his opponents down to the mat as quickly as possible, almost like a Brainbuster. While in WCW, he did this move very well. Eddie€™s favorite variant was the simple-yet-effective vertical Suplex, which he executed with such perfection that he felt like the fans deserved to see not one, but three consecutive vertical Suplexes, a combination he called, €˜Three Amigos€™. More often than not, this was his set-up move for his finishing Frog Splash, but it was still an awesome sight to behold as Eddie combined strength and skill like few others could with his signature Suplex combination. It€™s a shame Eddie€™s career and life ended so prematurely. He could€™ve gone on to enjoy a far more successful career, and could€™ve been the ideal ruler for Suplex City.
