On a recent edition of Konnan’s “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Hugo Savinovich stated that had Eddie Guerrero not passed away when he did (November 2005), he would’ve had an even greater impact on the professional wrestling industry.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On what Guerrero may have done in his career if he hadn’t passed: “Not only did we miss some great years ahead of him, but I think that the best was yet to come. Because I think creatively, would he have gone full-time creatively and maybe an analyst on the Spanish shows too, I think that he would have been so productive because he had that quality of a wrestling mind.”
On Gurrerro’s potential impact as a creative mind: “You know, people have good ideas, but good ideas don’t necessarily make good business. A good idea in our business works when it projects the right image at the right moment that it will draw your TV ratings and put asses on the seats. I think, Eddie, we missed out on a big, huge part. I think that an analyst like him on a Spanish show and somebody of a consultant type would have been fantastic for Vince [McMahon].”

The Impact Eddie Guerrero Could Have Had on the Professional Wrestling Industry
Eddie Guerrero, a beloved figure in the world of professional wrestling, left an indelible mark on the industry during his time in the spotlight. However, according to Hugo Savinovich on a recent episode of Konnan’s “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Guerrero’s impact could have been even greater had he not tragically passed away in November 2005.
Savinovich believes that Guerrero had the potential to make significant contributions to the wrestling world in the years to come. He suggests that Guerrero’s creative mind and wrestling acumen would have allowed him to excel not only as an in-ring performer but also as a full-time creative and potentially as an analyst on Spanish shows.
The wrestling industry thrives on innovative ideas that capture the attention of audiences and generate high TV ratings. Savinovich argues that Guerrero possessed the rare ability to come up with ideas that not only sounded good but also had the potential to translate into successful business ventures. He believes that Guerrero could have been instrumental in projecting the right image at the right moment, drawing in viewers and filling arenas.
In particular, Savinovich envisions Guerrero’s potential role as an analyst on a Spanish show, highlighting his ability to connect with a diverse audience. With his charisma and deep understanding of the wrestling business, Guerrero could have provided valuable insights and analysis, further enhancing the viewing experience for Spanish-speaking fans.
Furthermore, Savinovich suggests that Guerrero could have served as a consultant for Vince McMahon, the chairman and CEO of WWE. McMahon is known for his keen business sense and willingness to seek advice from industry veterans. Guerrero’s expertise and unique perspective could have been a valuable asset to McMahon, helping him make informed decisions and navigate the ever-changing landscape of professional wrestling.
It is evident that Guerrero’s untimely death robbed the wrestling world of a talent that had so much more to offer. His legacy as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time is unquestionable, but one cannot help but wonder what additional contributions he could have made had he been given the opportunity to continue his career.
As fans, we can only speculate about the potential impact Guerrero could have had on the industry. However, his influence and inspiration continue to resonate with wrestlers and fans alike. Guerrero’s memory serves as a reminder of the incredible talent and passion that exists within the world of professional wrestling.
In conclusion, Eddie Guerrero’s passing in 2005 deprived the wrestling industry of a creative genius and a potential game-changer. His ability to connect with audiences and his deep understanding of the wrestling business would have undoubtedly led to even greater achievements. While we can only imagine the heights he could have reached, Guerrero’s legacy as a legendary performer and beloved figure in wrestling history will forever be cherished.
