2. Eddie Guerrero
Few wrestlers are as beloved, by the fans and by their peers, as Eddie Guerrero. Yes, he was cool in the traditional sense sweet clothes, awesome rides but there was also a genuine earnestness to Eddie that made him seem like a friend, even to those who had only seen him on television. He was wrestling's coolest nice guy. Eddie was always a great wrestler, but it wasn't until he came to WWE that he really started to harness his charisma. His promos improved, he infused his acting with the same passion that made his ring work elite, and he truly became a unique character. By the time of his death, he could control a crowd as easily as anyone who'd even been in the ring - and part of that was because we wanted it. Eddie Guerrero's passion for everything he did and his connection to those around him was infectious, and we wanted to be in on it. So much of Eddie's work was done (masterfully) as a heel, but that's not how we'll remember him. We'll remember him heading out to the ring in a shiny low rider, a tremendous smile on his face, and a partner - maybe Chavo, maybe Rey - riding shotgun. That was Eddie, and that's why we love him.
