Rey Mysterio Honors Eddie Guerrero's Legacy

Rey Mysterio recently penned an emotional letter to his late friend Eddie Guerrero, on the 20-year anniversary of his death.

The letter, published in The Players' Tribune, highlights Guerrero's significant influence on the wrestling industry.

Eddie Guerrero's style, size, and contribution to Latinos in wrestling are the biggest legacy marks he made in pro wrestling, according to Rey Mysterio.

Guerrero's ability to break through the "big man" glass ceiling in WWE paved the way for smaller wrestlers to have successful careers.

Rey Mysterio credited Eddie Guerrero for giving Latino fans a chance to see wrestlers who looked like them, talked like them, and acted like them in big spots.

Guerrero's success helped to change perceptions of Latino wrestlers in the US, making it possible for them to draw in large crowds.

Rey Mysterio's son, Dominik, is also a WWE superstar and a former WWE Intercontinental Champion, and has been inspired by Guerrero's legacy.

Rey and Dominik Mysterio could be on a collision course with each other sooner than later, with rumors persisting that they might square off at Survivor Series in their hometown of San Diego.

The event would be a significant moment for both wrestlers, and would showcase the lasting impact of Eddie Guerrero's legacy on the sport.

Rey Mysterio was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2023, a testament to his own successful career, which was influenced by Guerrero's trailblazing work.

Eddie Guerrero was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006, just a year after his passing, in recognition of his significant contributions to the sport.
