In a recent interview with WWE Now India’s Gaelyn Mendonca, Sasha Banks revealed the influence the late WWE Hall of Fame Eddie Guerrero had on her life and career.

“I thank Eddie Guerrero for everything,” said Banks. “He really laid the foundation for what I think a wrestler should be to the WWE and to the world he is incredible, he is the best and if nobody’s ever seen him, please get the WWE Network and watch him. He is so magical you know, words can’t even say. You just have to watch that.”

Eddie Guerrero was a typical showman and an outstanding wrestler. His work in the ring was unparalleled and he quickly rose as a fan favorite. Eddie Gurrero was the best in the business and was rising to greater lengths.

Unfortunately, he shockingly passed away shortly after suffering a heart attack during one of his matches. This tragic incident broke the hearts of countless fans.
