He has inspired many WWE Superstars over the years and remains one of the most well-known wrestlers of all time.

“There’s one time. I wanted Eddie Guerrero to powerbomb me. I wanted to jump off the top turnbuckle like I was going to give him a hurricarana to the floor, and he was gonna catch me and powerbomb me. ‘He was like, “No way, that’s gonna hurt you so bad! I don’t wanna do that to you, it’s gonna hurt you.”

Lita decided to go ahead with the spot anyway, against Eddie’s advice.
