WWE legend Rey Mysterio took to the <\/span>Players\u2019\u00a0 Tribune<\/span><\/i> to <\/span>pen a tribute to the late, great Eddie Guerrero<\/span><\/a>. The pair had a memorable rivalry in the 90s and 2000s, as well as tag team action. They shared a brother-like chemistry onscreen that platformed <\/span>lucha libre<\/span><\/i> in the United States, normalizing the greatness of its pro wrestling genre. <\/span><\/p>\n

Guerrero, as a singles competitor, had such glory and success in his final years to provide moments in wrestling that would live forever. <\/span>In his wake, he left an embarrassment of dream matches that can never come to fruition. As time marches on, this fact continues to grow, a testament to how sensational a wrestler he was.<\/span><\/p>\n

His legacy continues to be felt in the industry<\/a>, long after his absence. Not many can say that, but Guerrero\u2019s contributions leave him standing tall among the greats who\u2019ve come and gone. But what if he had that golden chance to lace up his boots against some of today\u2019s most compelling and entertaining athletes in wrestling and sports entertainment?<\/span><\/p>\n

I love making lists, and I\u2019ve been itching to share who I think would have money matches with the all-time great. Here are five of my Eddie Guerrero dream matches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sting versus Eddie Guerrero<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Icon. The Stinger. The man they call Sting. While I would\u2019ve loved to see Sting take on Eddie in his Surfer guise, the moves to be made in the black and white Crow Sting would have left fans talking for decades. Should Sting have debuted in the Ruthless Aggression Era of WWE, or Eddie Guerrero set foot in the Impact Zone, they would have been great foils to one another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sting\u2019s unflinching nature would\u2019ve contrasted with Eddie\u2019s sneaky moves, and his cunning would\u2019ve left Latino Heat cooling in panic, outwitting the famous chair spots where he throws it and lies down on the mat. Seriously, Eddie would\u2019ve made a great Penguin to Sting\u2019s Batman.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like a relentless force of nature, Sting would come for the greed and avarice in Eddie\u2019s character at the time, making for a great SummerSlam or Unbreakable match. This is a dream match that begs for a world championship to make a gripping match.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dominik Mysterio <\/span>versus Eddie Guerrero<\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, I went for the easy one. So what?<\/span><\/p>\n

Young Mysterio is highly reminiscent of Eddie\u2019s 2000s look. He even copied the storyline Eddie Guerrero shared with Chyna, as seen in the early Judgment Day saga with Rhea Ripley. Moreover, Dominik has excelled in the years after a rocky, rocky start. Starting as a bland tag team babyface with father Rey, Dom\u2019s turn to the dark side allowed him to find a personality away from <\/span>lucha <\/span><\/i>royalty. <\/span><\/p>\n

Growing his hair out, adopting a mustache, wearing black, purple, and white, and dripping in legions of tattoos, Dominik became something else, something more expressive of who he is away from his kayfabe deadbeat dad, Rey Mysterio. Coupled with an improved quality in work rate, he\u2019s been a reliable worker for newer or returning talent.<\/span><\/p>\n
