During his career, Eddie Guerrero entertained countless fans, with his incredible athleticism, incredible moves, and unique character.
The personification of Lie, Cheat, Steal, Guerrero was never afraid to bend the rules for his own goals, regardless of whether he was being booed or cheered by the WWE Universe.
A fan favourite despite his untimely death in 2005, Eddie was posthumously inducted into the 2006 WWE Hall of Fame, and is regarded as one of the greatest stars in the company's history.
Today (October 9) would've been Guerrero's 51st birthday, and to celebrate, here are five matches of Latino Heat's you absolutely must see.
#5 Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rob Van Dam (RAW, May 27, 2002)
The first Ladder match on this list, these two battled in, around and above the ring, for Eddie's Intercontinental Championship.
With two of the company's most athletic stars ever in one match, the pair obviously delivered, as the commentary team debated which of the two had the better 5-Star Frog Splash.
On that night, Van Dam was the better man, winning the Championship, but both men proved why they would be future WWE Champions and two of the most popular Superstars of the Ruthless Aggression Era.
#4 Eddie Guerrero Vs. Edge (SmackDown, September 26, 2002)
2002 really was the year of Latino Heat, with two matches from the year appearing on this list. Let's take a look at his match against Edge on SmackDown in September 2002.
Guerrero had had a problem with Edge ever since the pair were drafted to SmackDown together in the Brand Extension.
Seeing tensions brewing, the two were put into an incredible No Disqualification match, with the Rated-R Superstar getting the win after an Edgecution off the ladder.
The match definitely proved that SmackDown was capable of being its own brand, and stepped out of RAW's shadow thanks to stars such as Eddie, Edge, Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle and others.
#3 Eddie Guerrero/Tajiri Vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team (Judgement Day 2003)
When Chavo Guerrero was felled by an injury, the team of Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin gave Eddie a choice for their ladder match for the Tag titles: Forfeit or go it alone.
Instead, Eddie partnered with the Japanese Buzzsaw Tajiri, to take on the formidable opponents.
It is definitely a forgotten gem, with all four superstars using the ladders in creative and effective ways, and is a match that current superstars could learn a thing or two from, both for ladder matches, and for tag team offense.
#2 Eddie Guerrero Vs. Kurt Angle (WrestleMania 20)
After vanquishing Lesnar the month prior, Eddie Guerrero met Kurt Angle, with the coveted title on the line.
The feud quickly turned personal, with Angle mentioning Guerrero's past drug addiction, with Guerrero retorting by saying conquering his demons made him a true fighting champion.
Facing off at the historic Madison Square Garden, both men were on their A-Game, with Angle repeatedly attacking Eddie's foot, hoping to win the title by submission.
Guerrero would, however, counter back, using a sneaky move that can only be described as genius.
It was a fantastic match, and not the only one between the two, with the pair meeting once again at Summerslam that same year.
#1 Eddie Guerrero Vs. Rey Mysterio (Smackdown, September 9, 2005)
In WCW, Eddie and Rey Mysterio had an incredible feud, with their Halloween Havoc 1997 clash considered a classic.
In 2005, the pair rekindled their feud, in what originally was a friendly rivalry, with Mysterio beating his fellow Tag Team Champion at WrestleMania 21.
Things took a nasty turn, however, when Guerrero consistently failed to beat the Ultimate Underdog, with Guerrero turning on his partner.
At the climax of the story, the pair met in a Steel Cage, with Guerro having nothing left to lose, unleashing an onslaught on the masked marvel.
