I have to give Eddie the edge here, mainly for the fact that he had far fewer terrible gimmicks to overcome in his career. Both were amazing performers, played great heels, and were tremendously respected by fans and peers alike. and picked up right where Bret left off after Survivor Series. ![]() If he really wanted, I think he could have been a World Champion. His classic matches with Bret will go down in history as some of the best. like this is fun, and wrestling should be fun. You could also tell he was just having so much fun out there and I think he always had a certain air around him. He was a brilliant heel, a great talker, and great in the ring. With all that said though, Owen was always a favourite. No one was expecting JBL to win the title and carry it for as long as he did, and I was hoping Eddie's reign would be longer. I always thought they took the belt off him too soon also. The stuff he did with the mullet, and the Chyna storyline was really where Latino Heat was born in my opinion. While I always appreciated what he could do, he wasn't a favourite of mine until he joined the WWF and was really getting pushed hard as a singles competitor/post-Radicalz. It took me a long time to get into Eddie Guerrero. I personally always preferred Owen as well. ![]() Mick Foley and others have stated how funny Owen was behind the scenes and I think his second run as the Blazer was a good showcase of his comedic abilities. Owen, on the other hand, was absolutely hilarious running around as the Blue Blazer in late '98-'99 while constantly denying it was him. Also, Smackdown was a bit dull when Eddie was champion and it got worse when JBL became champion. I liked the "Latino Heat" gimmick, but I didn't find the whole "Lie, cheat and steal" gimmick quite as amusing as some people. I do think Eddie Guererro's greatness is overrated a bit though. I would probably give a bit of an edge in charisma to Owen Hart. Sure, he got to wrestle his brother Bret in '94 and had a program with Shawn Michaels in late '95-early '96, but he never got to be the "guy." Had Owen not died, who knows if he would've gone further up the ladder? Wrestling ability, charisma and mic skills of both guys are pretty even. As for who was the bigger star, Eddie Guererro was WWE champion while Owen never rose above the midcard. Who was the bigger & better star, Eddie Guerrero or Owen Hart? They died doing what they loved to do, wrestling in a ring in front of millions of wrestling fans. "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero and "The King of Hearts" Owen Hart didn't died in their sleep from a drug overdose or steroid abuse. Eddie and Owen are both world class athletes who wrestled all over the world with backgrounds from canada & mexico. And even though both Eddie and Owen were both the babies of each wrestling family, that didn't stop them from stealing the spot light in their respective families.īoth wrestling legends were at one point very close to the late Chris Benoit (is it safe to say the wolverines name on here?). ![]() Both of these men came from the top two wrestling families in wrestling history which were led by the late Stu Hart and the late Gory Guerrero. Two of the most beloved wrestlers from wrestling past.
