8 Times Game Of Thrones Characters Were Wrestlers

6. Oberyn Martell Is Eddie Guerrero

"The Targaryens talk of fire and blood. In Dorne, our blood is fire." - Oberyn "La-ti-no HEEEEAT!" - Eddie Guerrero Fighting Style: Oberyn picked up a multitude of fighting styles in his travels around The Free Cities and is a master of poisons and the dark arts. After studying at the Citadel, soldiering in the Disputed Lands and riding with the Second Sons, he formed his own mercenary company. His greatest assets were speed and the use of poisoned blades, which is sort of like cheating. The Texas born Guerrero was trained by his famous father along with his brothers and cousins in the luchador style. Eddie was a showstopper in Mexico, honed his fighting skills in Japan and was an early standout in ECW and WCW before moving up to the WWE. As an ambitious heel, Guerrero would do anything to win a match to the point that his catchphrase became "I Lie! I Cheat! I Steal!" LoveLife: Oberyn's eight bastard daughters, The Sand Snakes, are all trained in combat and raised in luxury. Vicki Guerrero may have been Eddie's wife, but he also had a daughter with girlfriend Tara Mahoney. Eldest daughter Shaul even tried wrestling in NXT. During his first run as "Latino Heat", Guerrero pursued Chyna, but she called it off after catching him in the shower with a couple of The Godfather's ho's. Premature Death: The grisly Trial by Combat where Oberyn got his head smashed in by The Mountain is one of those scenes GoT fans couldn't forget if they tried. The character's age is listed as 43 at the time of his death. In 2005 Eddie Guerrero died in a Minneapolis hotel at just 38 years old. His autopsy revealed severely narrowed blood vessels, which could have been a side-effect of years of steroid and drug abuse.
