Latino Heat in the land of extreme!

#eddieguerrero #wwe #ecw #wcw #wrestling
It's time for a whole new episode of Ring of The Hawk, how on earth have I not covered Eddie Guerrero in ECW? Exciting that I get to do this now! Eddie joined ECW IN 1995 on a loan from NJPW and the crowd just loved this guy. This run got him signed to wcw along with Dean Malenko so it must have gone well! Eddie spent most of this run as the tv champion for an added bit of interest.

Here's a factoid for you: Art Barr was meant to join ECW alongside Guerrero, but that obviously didn't happen because of his passing. They were meant to feud with Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge, The Public Enemy. Guerrero and RVD decided to honor Art Barr by using his Frog Splash move.

Malenko v. Guerrero should be studied by every aspiring wrestler. The crispness, the brutality, the fact they never had the same match, it's pure magic.

[@primokk4669]

Malenko is such a underated wrestler

[@ShadowAngel18606]

@@primokk4669 He isn't underrated. He never was a draw, he had no mic skills, no charisma, had no body. He was your run of the mill vanilla midget. Great as your #2 or #3 match guy when you need somebody who can roll around the mat for 10 minutes but that's it.

[@JasonSum1979]

This was without a doubt the golden era of ECW (The worst thing about this time period was the ECW fan they all thought they were smarter then the Wrestlers and tried to dictate what went on in the Ring! Raven’s take on the ECW fans it’s honestly spot on) Eddie’s work in Mexico with Art Barr was actually better imo (The international scene was so much different then now) It’s a bit sad how so much of this point and time is long gone 😢

[@petesmart1983]

Golden era which lasted a few months?? ECW fans didn't care about these guys which is the reality they cared more about crap like sandman and sabu. Eddie was only three for like 3 months anyone with talent left ECW after a few months

[@YogiWonKenobi78]

Eddie will always be one of my all time favorites. #RIPLatinoHeat 🙏

[@ricardomurillo1986]

A truth fact Before joining ECW, Eddie left Triple A after Art Barr passed away and he tried to return to CMLL due to his friendship with el hijo del Santo but Paco Alonso the chairman of the promotion denied Eddie to coming back because he unmasked his masked character named máscara mágica I knew because el hijo del Santo told that story on his own TV show back in 2011 when he went to Eddie's grave

[@Bananachees532]

Few ROH ideas: Hulk Hogan in WWE 2002-2003, pretty sure he had 29 televised matches, Hulk Hogan would also qualify for his WWE run from 2005-2006 with 6 televised matches, and his TNA run as well with 3 matches. When Booker T returned to WWE in 2011 he had 6 televised matches so that would also qualify.

[@Macronaso]

These matches are crazy, there will never be anyone like Eddie.

[@thedominatior39]

I may be wrong but I’m pretty sure Match 5 is the match Taz breaks his neck which is why Eddie fought most of the match by himself.

[@slipendoos1123]

I think you might be right. I thought it was a different match but that piledriver looks pretty rough

[@UndergroundSkat2000]

That double team spike pile driver on Taz by Malenko and Scorpio is what broke his neck and shortened his career by years

Eddie Guerrero the Latino heat of professional wrestling

[@tomservo5347]

Had I known about it earlier I'd have gone to a local wrestling circuit here in Missouri that showcased Eddie Guerrero. As luck would have it I saw the flyer 2 weeks after the event. When my parents were newlyweds back in the late 60's we had a local wrestling show televised every Saturday night out of Saint Joseph, Missouri. My German mom didn't understand that wrestling was a show and would shout at the television when a heel did something illegal or just plain wrong with an emphatic "Vats he doing?! He can't do zat!" Wrestling became too big for it's own good with WE swallowing up everything. Perhaps we need to go back to local, small production circuits to get the wrestling we all know and enjoy.

You have to do a video on 2 Cold Scorpio, he`s one of the most if not THE most underrated wrestler of all time. He taught himself how to wrestle and he invented the 450 splash. He should have been bigger and most wrestlers today got their style from him, weather they know it or not, except he could tell a good story and sell. He`s wrestled in every company except AEW and is still wrestling today.

[@JobberJerry]

It's crazy the transformation he went through

[@jjenk911]

Guerrero vs. Malenko was pretty much the feud in 1995. Eric Bischoff would either scout or "raid" according to Paul Heyman, and signed Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Chris Benoit. Maybe not at the same time, but Guerrero was signed to WCW in '95. ECW was one of the first American wrestling companies to bring in Lucha Libre. Of course, WCW came calling, and the Cruiserweight Division was born. So, yeah, Bischoff poached a good portion of ECW's talent. He could pay them; Heyman would have difficulties paying his talent.

Funny thing about "Chris Jericho" in the penultimate Dean/Eddy singles match...if I remember my Usenet posts right, he might have been the cause for distraction in one of the earlier Eddy/Dean matches at the ECW Arena. I vaguely remember talk about him making some kind of scene with one of the wrestlers or something, and he got escorted out. I don't remember if it was this match or not. ' ' He was called "Dreads" in those old Arena reports, and he was a regular at the Philly shows.
