Eddie Guerrero

(From Wikipedia) Eduardo "Eddie" Gory Guerrero Llanes (October 9, 1967 – November 13, 2005) better known as Eddie Guerrero, was a second-generation American professional wrestler born into a legendary Mexican wrestling family. He had a distinguished career, wrestling in Mexico and Japan and in every major professional wrestling promotion in the United States. He wrestled in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and, most famously, in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which was World Wrestling Federation (WWF) before 2002.

Guerrero's in-ring gimmick was that of a crafty, resourceful wrestler who would do anything to win a match. His famous catch phrase became "Cheat to Win." Despite being a heel for much of his career, he got over in and outside the ring. Another one of his famous slogans was "I Lie! I Cheat! I Steal!," which was used in one of his most famous entrance themes. He partly uses this phrase in his autobiography Cheating Death, Stealing Life.

Throughout his career, Guerrero encountered various substance abuse problems outside of wrestling, including alcoholism and an addiction to painkillers. His problems outside of the ring were sometimes integrated into his angles. Notwithstanding these issues, he won numerous titles during his career. In WWF/E, he was a 1 time WWE Champion, 4 time Tag Team Champion, 1 time United States Champion, 2 time Intercontinental Champion and 2 time European Champion. He was also posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.

He also held the United States Heavyweight Championship once and Cruiserweight Championship twice in WCW and Television Championship twice in ECW. Upon his sudden and unexpected death, Guerrero was paid tribute by many of his fellow wrestlers as an exceptionally skilled technical wrestler and a passionate and caring individual.
