Well with the movement of Mick Foley to the 2000 - 2009 this leaves a big hole, and after much deliberation we have found someone that can take his spot we believe.
So without further ado Team Stylin and Profilin is VERY proud to select in the category of 1991-2000 the late Eddie Guerrero



What can be said about Eddie, he came from a wrestling family and was destined to be one as well. He started in Mexico where he learned his Lucha Libre style of wrestling. After that he wrestled in Japan where he became a star. Word got out on him and ECW came calling where he became a star in North America. After a couple years in the "dub" Eddie moved onto WCW and eventually onto WWE.
In WWE he had one of his biggest wrestling moments where he won the Heavyweight Championship.
When Chris Benoit defected to Raw after winning the Royal Rumble, using his title shot to go for Triple H's World Heavyweight Championship, Eddie won a 15-man Royal Rumble style match on the January 29, 2004 edition of SmackDown! to earn a shot at the WWE Championship.
After becoming the number one contender, Guerrero elevated himself to main event status and began feuding with the WWE Champion Brock Lesnar. At No Way Out, Guerrero defeated Lesnar in the main event to win the WWE Championship. The victory made him only the second-ever Latino WWE Champion in history, and the first Mexican American to win the main world title in an American promotion. His next feud was with Kurt Angle, whom he defeated at WrestleMania XX to retain his title in his first big defense. At the end of this event, Guerrero celebrated in the ring with longtime friend Chris Benoit, who had just won the World Heavyweight Championship.

Eddie wins the title
