Indeed.

It was certainly a moment of pure surprise for the WWE Universe who would not have even thought about such a revival for the iconic faction. The Stamford-based promotion is keeping the spectators on their heels come this WrestleMania weekend. It is essential to learn about the LWO and Guerrero’s huge part in it.

A brief history of the LWO

The heel faction was founded and headed by Guerrero in 1998. And as the name suggests the group consisted of Latin performers who came together under one umbrella. The villainous faction had many run-ins with Mysterio during his WCW days. He even had a brief stint with LWO before it got disbanded in 1999. Before ‘The Biggest Little Man’ brought it back to life in the recent edition of the blue brand.

Rey Mysterio honored the legacy of one of the all-time greats Eddie Guerrero on such a big night for him on a personal note. On the night when the fans celebrate his illustrious career, he ensured that his late friend will be remembered too. It’s fitting, after all, he has had a huge part in Mysterio’s success.
