John Cena reveals that Eddie Guerrero was the fighter who had the most impact on his career. When we remember the “Latin Heat” we do it in many different ways because their mark was marked everywhere within the professional wrestling and one of the main ones is how it influenced the generations that followed it.
► The influence of Eddie Guerrero
“You saw a single struggle of Eddie Guerrero. I was lucky to have many struggles in live events with him. Eddie Guerrero is one of the greatest of all time. It was one of my mentors and one of the last people who improvised in the ring. I learned many of my abilities because it was a genius. Not only was it brilliant in its execution, I wanted to do new things, and when I did – because it was inventing it – it had an incredible understanding of the public.

“The most influential thing I learned from Eddie Guerrero is something that I will never forget. The WWE had a boom during Attitude was. Then we started SmackDown, who had Kurt Angle as his pillar. We brought Eddie Guerrero, a lot of new talents, and people trying to find their way. Eddie was our champion for a while, and used to tell me:'On the nights where fewer people come, you have to strive ten times more, because the energy in the sand is not so strong.'.
“When you have an audience like this (referring to Fanexpo), work the room is easy. But if you are only five in the front row, I have to give myself completely. Those nights when the business goes wrong – never, never, never give the minimum. In fact, work a hundred times harder … Eddie took very seriously to be a champion. And that is something that I will never forget while I was under his guide.
“THe also taught me to listen to the public. I am one of the loudest fighters out there, simply being close enough in a WWE show. And in the fight before the fight, it is fine – because the tool I learned from Eddie was listening to the public, Because they are the greatest source of energy, and the biggest star we have. And if you don't do something, or want you to do something and lose their attention – they will be generous, they will give you one or two opportunities. But if you lose them once again, they will not care about your fight, ”says the current undisputed champion WWE to Maggie Lovitt of Collider.
