Top 10 Latino wrestlers of all time

Rey Mysterio

The third place on this list goes to the man who’s proven that even small statured individuals can pack quite a punch. Oscar Gutirrez Rubio aka Rey Mysterio has revolutionized wrestling since the ‘90s and is considered as one of the sport’s most recognizable faces.

The 40-year-old, who is a three time World Champion, has been wrestling since the time he was a teenager under the tutelage of his uncle Rey Mysterio Sr along with many other pros who made him who he is today. The San Diego native with the astonishing 619 finisher continues to wow the wrestling world even today and will go down in history as one of the sport’s greatest sons.


Tito Santana

The Texas native was one of the wrestling’s best, most consistent performers during the 1980’s – the Golden Age of wrestling. Although he never won the WWF Heavyweight title, Santana’s enviable career boasts of two WWF Intercontinental Championships, along with two WWF Tag Team titles.

Even though it’s been years since he retired from wrestling he’s still made sporadic appearances in various matches over the years. The 62-year-old WWE Hall of Famer will undoubtedly go down as a great contributor to the sport. Arriba!


Alberto del Rio

Before making a name for himself in WWE, the highly talented del Rio also excelled at Mixed Martial Arts. Del Rio’s MMA background did him a whole lot of good, and created history after becoming the first Mexico born WWE Champion back in 2011, followed by a World Heavyweight title the following year. The 38-year-old’s WWE career unfortunately ended in disgrace after he was fired due to an alteration with an employee who aimed a racist jibe towards him. Even though the manner of his departure from WWE will always be a stain on his career, del Rico will always be remembered as one of the most gifted wrestlers to ever grace the competition.


Chavo Guerrero

If you have the surname Guerrero chances are that you’ll be superb wrestler, and that’s exactly what Chavo is. Although his famous uncle, who we’ll discuss later, hogged much of the limelight during his time in WWE, Chavo did an exceptionally good job of making his own name in the world of wrestling. The 44-year-old had some rather exciting matches along with a memorable pairing with his famous uncle which won them the Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s Tag Team of the Year award back in 2002 along with two WWE Tag Team titles. It’s safe to say that Chavo is a star in his own right and will be fondly remembered by wrestling fans worldwide.
