Crossface: 8 Other WWE Legends Who Deserve A Movie Biopic
7. Eddie Guerrero
Widely regarded as one of the most gifted technical wrestlers in the history of the industry, Eduardo Gory Guerrero Llanes was born into a wrestling dynasty on October 9, 1967. The Guerreros are a Mexican-American family that have been a staple of professional wrestling for three generations, with patriarch Gory Guerrero making his ring debut way back in 1937. Beginning his career in Mexico before a three year stint in Japan, Eddie got his move to ECW in 1995, winning the ECW World Television Championship from 2 Cold Scorpio in his debut match. A move to WCW followed soon after and he became the proud owner of the United States and Cruiserweight belts, though his time with Eric Bischoffs promotion was marked by a very public falling out with the owner, whom Guerrero believed was reluctant to push Latino wrestlers into headline slots. Guerrero finally made it to WWE on the turn of the millennium, crashing a January 2000 episode of Raw with his stablemates Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit at his side. He became WWE Champion in 2004, defeating Brock Lesnar at NO Way Out, but his rags to riches storyline isnt the only thing that would make an Eddie Guerrero biopic an intriguing one car crashes, serious injuries and, of course, a tragic early death. Eddies nephew and fellow WWE superstar Chavo Guerrero found his uncle unconscious on the floor of their Minneapolis hotel room, where he tried to perform CPR but was unable to save his life. A heart attack was announced as the cause. Guerrero was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame in 2006 by Chavo Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Rey Mysterio, who won the World Heavyweight Championship the following night at WrestleMania 22 and dedicated the victory and the title to Guerrero.
