“I Thank Eddie for Everything”- Sasha Banks Pays Tribute to WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero

A person that is constantly found in the spotlight is none other than WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks. Her groundbreaking work at a young age has lifted her career to unbelievable heights.

Every Superstar today has a role model from the past generation of WWE. Even ‘The Legit Boss’ chose one to learn from and she chose one of the best.

In a recent interview with WWE Now India’s Gaelyn Mendonca, Sasha Banks revealed the influence the late WWE Hall of Fame Eddie Guerrero had on her life and career.

“I thank Eddie Guerrero for everything,” said Banks. “He really laid the foundation for what I think a wrestler should be to the WWE and to the world he is incredible, he is the best and if nobody’s ever seen him, please get the WWE Network and watch him. He is so magical you know, words can’t even say. You just have to watch that.”

Eddie Guerrero was a typical showman and an outstanding wrestler. His work in the ring was unparalleled and he quickly rose as a fan favorite. Eddie Gurrero was the best in the business and was rising to greater lengths.

Unfortunately, he shockingly passed away shortly after suffering a heart attack during one of his matches. This tragic incident broke the hearts of countless fans. 

Eddie Guerrero massively influenced WWE and its future

Sasha Banks has already accomplished everything in her division. It’s safe to say that Eddie was a positive influence on her.

16 years after Guerrero’s demise, young Superstars are still inspired by his gimmick and in-ring charisma. Looking back at his matches, it is obvious that he was one of a kind.

WWE celebrated his birthday and death anniversary last month and paid tribute to him in various ways. Ricochet even used his famous spot of faking a chair shot attack to win a match.

Such moments prove just how much Eddie Guerrero influenced the world of professional wrestling. As he constantly reminded us, “Latino Heat” never dies.
