#2 Rey Mysterio gets inked to honor the memory of Eddie Guerrero

Eddie Guerrero was one of the greatest high-flyers to grace a WWE ring. He did well for himself in WCW's Cruiserweight division in the 90s, and his popularity only increased during his stint in WWE. Eddie and Rey Mysterio wrestled each other on countless occasions for years on end, with the Master Of The 619 being one of Latino Heat's final rivals before his untimely passing. In November 2005, Eddie left this world, and the pro-wrestling industry couldn't believe that he had gone away so early.

Back in 2019, Rey Mysterio got a tattoo made in memory of Eddie, and it was highlighted on one of WWE's Superstar Ink video.

Rey Mysterio is still an active Superstar in WWE

The tattoo featured a tombstone with the initials 'EG' in the middle. Soon after Eddie passed away, WWE heavily pushed Rey Mysterio and he went on to win the 2006 Royal Rumble match. Mysterio wasn't done here, as he later won the World title for the first time in his career in one of the main events of WrestleMania 22, and dedicated the win to Eddie Guerrero.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
