Sherilyn Guerrero recently said that the thing fans miss most about her father isn't the matches or the championships — it's his humor.
In an interview with Muscle Memory with MuscleManMalcolm at Anime Fest's Wrestle Verse in Houston, the daughter of WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero revealed what fans tell her most often. She also shared her favorite photo of her father, and named her dream opponent.
Definitely his Halloween Havoc match with Rey Mysterio. There's a lot of [talk about] his World Championship. That was an emotional win for sure," Sherilyn said. "But I think a lot of people are sharing the funniness and humor that they miss from him. That's what I miss too because that was him all around. Whether it was a promo, in the ring, out the ring, he was just fun. That's what I've been hearing that people miss the most.
As a professional photographer, Sherilyn also revealed her favorite photo of her father and it is one of wrestling's most iconic moments.
I think my favorite photo of my dad that was ever taken is probably him and Chris Benoit celebrating in the ring at WrestleMania," she said. "It's so candid, so amazing.
The image, from WrestleMania XX in 2004, captured Eddie and Benoit embracing in the ring after both held world titles simultaneously.
Sherilyn Guerrero Names Her Dream Opponent
Looking ahead to her own career, Sherilyn named Women's United States Champion Chelsea Green as the opponent she'd most want to face. She said:
If you take the personality and character that I am and who my dad was, mix it with Chelsea Green, you would probably have not only an athletic match, but a really good entertainment match.
She added that she'd want former WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley to "come in and just kick our ass."
The choice reflects Sherilyn's character-first approach to wrestling, and she credits it to growing up around Eddie, whose blend of athleticism and personality made him one of the most beloved performers in wrestling history.
Unfortunately, Eddie Guerrero passed away on November 13th, 2005 at the age of 38. Twenty years later, his legacy continues through his family, with Sherilyn currently training at Booker T's Reality of Wrestling in Texas.
