The Top 10 WWE Underdogs Of All Time 7

7: Eddie Guerrero

Known more by casual fans for his “Latino Heat” run in WWE, Eddie Guerrero was one of the best all-around wrestlers in the business. Much like Chris Jericho, he was never allowed to fully flourish in WCW, even though he came from a well-known wrestling family.

When he finally made the jump to WWE, he wasn’t given the go ahead right away, and was the mid-card villain for quite some time. He’d also had some substance abuse issues that resulted in his release from the company after a drunk driving incident.

When he did return, even though he was a villain, his popularity could not be ignored, and he was eventually rewarded with the WWE Championship in 2004 after defeating Brock Lesnar. Overcoming racial and size boundaries in an industry rampant with both, Eddie had made it. Sadly, he passed away in November of 2005. It was rumored that he was in line for another run with the title that would have only done more to secure his rightful place in wrestling history.
