When it comes to legendary wrestling families, fans often point to the Hart Family out of Alberta, Canada or the Von Erichs from Texas, USA. However, the most famous wrestling family to come out of Mexico is the Guerrero Family. With a lineage that has created many champions and legends, the Guerreros have etched their place in wrestling history.
With stints in many major promotions across the globe, and even several World Champions in the family, the Guerreros have earned the adoration of fans across the world. However, while some wrestling fans can easily recognize the importance of certain Guerrero family members, not every one of them has been lucky enough to become superstars.
8 Successful - Gory Guerrero
As the patriarch of the legendary Guerrero family, Salvador - better known under his ring name, Gory - was partly responsible for creating what would become one of the most influential wrestling families in the industry. While his accomplishments are not well known to North American audiences, he was considered a pioneer in the early days of Luca Libre wrestling.
Without Gory blazing a trail for wrestlers in Mexico to earn a living in their own territory, wrestling may not look like it does in the modern day. Not only should Gory be celebrated for the eventual success of his children, but for his own professional wrestling accomplishments as well.
7 Failed - Shaul Guerrero
Shaul Guerrero is one of wrestling's greatest what-if stories because she was pegged as someone who could have been wildly successful, but instead did not achieve the level of success thought of her. Known as Raquel Diaz during her two stints in WWE developmental, she did not reach any higher levels for a variety of reasons.
Whether it was not her time or if personal issues got in the way of her success, Shaul is not considered to be as successful as her father Eddie. However, wrestling fans would surely welcome her in again with open arms should she decide to return to in-ring action based on how much potential she has.
6 Successful - Chavo Guerrero Jr.
While most of the emphasis is put on Eddie Guerrero's accomplishments, it would be criminal to not give Chavo Guerrero Jr. his due when it comes to his career. Following stints in both WCW and WWE, Chavo proved himself to be a strong backbone of the cruiserweight division.
Chavo held numerous championships in both promotions and when he was given the opportunity knocked it out of the park. Whether it was as a singles star or Tag Team Champion, Chavo proved that he has the ability to help move the needle.
5 Successful - Vickie Guerrero
In one of the most unlikely success stories in wrestling history, Vickie Guerrero has moved from becoming someone who fans did not think would last a month to one of the strongest performers outside of the ring. Following stints in both WWE and AEW, Vickie has proven that she has the skills to be very successful.
While her character has hardly ever been cheered by audiences, Vickie is a beloved figure in wrestling. With the ability to get under the skin with a simple "Excuse Me", Vickie has earned her place on the list of the best wrestling personalities.
4 Failed - Mando Guerrero
As one of the few Guerrero wrestling family members to never break into the North American market, few wrestling fans have heard of Mando Guerrero's work. In fact, there are few wrestling fans who could point to something big from Mando's wrestling stint.
While Mando does carry the Guerrero wrestling name and has the same passion as his family members for the wrestling business, he is not considered to be one of the greats. Thankfully, Mando found a passion outside the wrestling industry for stunt work and pursued that during the later stages of his life.
3 Successful - Chavo Guerrero Sr.
While WWE fans recognize Chavo Guerrero Sr. as Chavo Classic, he was much more than his short WWE run in the mid-2000s. With a wrestling legacy that stretches through Mexico and into the United States, Chavo Sr. was a strong performer that could be relied on by promoters.
In his later years, Chavo Sr. achieved success while managing his son Chavo Jr., even becoming the oldest reigning WWE Cruiserweight Champion in the process. While the gimmick was not taken seriously at the time, it is an accolade that can never be taken away from the wrestling pioneer.
2 Failed - Hector Guerrero
It would be difficult to say that Hector Guerrero as a wrestler and a person failed at wrestling, but his biggest accomplishment is considered to be one of the worst gimmicks ever in WWE history. Following months of speculation of what was in a mysterious egg that appeared at WWE events, it finally hatched at Survivor Series 1990 to reveal the Gobbeldy Gooker.
Hector Guerrero was the one chosen to wear the costume and was never able to recover from this stain on his legacy. Despite being a Guerrero family member, wrestling fans will never forget this strange gimmick, and he was never able to shake the stigma.
1 Successful - Eddie Guerrero
As one of WWE's most prolific and celebrated champions, Eddie Guerrero remains a beloved figure to this day. With a strong career in Mexico and in every major North American promotion, Eddie has a strong wrestling career that made him worthy of the adulation.
Despite his personal demons, Eddie proved that he could rise above adversity and became one of the most important members of the WWE roster until his untimely passing in 2005. To this day, fans continue to show their love for Eddie, proving just how timeless of a character, person and performer that he was.
