================================================== FIRE PROWRESTLING D CHARACTER GUIDE: EDDY GUERRERO ================================================== Version 1.0 by Bill Wood (billwood661@attbi.com) Last modified: 4/4/02 Fire ProWrestling D (c) 2001 Spike/VAiLL NOTE: This guide views and prints best with a monospace typeface. ===================== ==TABLE OF CONTENTS== ===================== SECTION 1: HISTORY OF EDDY GUERRERO SECTION 2: SKILL AND PARAMETER STATS SECTION 3: MOVELIST SECTION 4: STRATEGY SECTION 5: CLOSING ======================================= ==SECTION 1: HISTORY OF EDDY GUERRERO== ======================================= Wrestling fans nowadays know Eddy Guerrero mainly from his "Latino Heat" gimmick in the WWF, but Eddy's wrestling resume is a lot more extensive than that. From his days in Mexican lucha organizations AAA and EMLL, to his days as the masked junior Black Tiger in New Japan Pro Wrestling, to his days in American promotions ECW, WCW and WWF, Eddy Guerrero has seen and done it all. The youngest son of Mexican wrestling legend Gory Guerrero, Eddy and his older brothers followed in their father's footsteps and pursued careers in lucha libre. Eddy later became notorious in Mexico as part of the heel tag team "Los Gringos Locos" with the late Art Barr, and the lure of fame and fortune in American professional wrestling would soon follow. In recent years, Eddy has held the WWF Intercontinental Title on on several occasions, and it looks like his best years may still be ahead of him. ======================================== ==SECTION 2: SKILL AND PARAMETER STATS== ======================================== SKILL ----- Real Name..................Eddy Guerrero FPD Name....................Terry Nebero Promotion............................WWF FPD Promotion........................WFW Size...............................Small Class...............................Free Height............................174 cm Weight.............................93 kg Country.........................America* Birthdate......................9.10.1967 Stance.........................Technical Offensive Skill...................Junior Return Skill......................Junior Critical Type...................Finisher Special Skill.......................None Recovery..........................Medium Recovery (when bleeding)............Slow Respiratory........................Above Respiratory (when bleeding)........Below Awareness.........................Medium Awareness (when bleeding).........Medium Neck Strength.....................Medium Arm Strength......................Medium Waist Strength....................Medium Foot Strength.....................Medium Movement Speed...............Medium Fast Ascend Speed........................Fast Ascend Skill........................Jump * = Eddy lives in America, but was born in Juarez, Mexico.

Without a doubt, these moves will be your bread and butter as your goal is to win in the flashiest manner possible. As to not betray his lucha roots, you must take to the air with Eddy Guerrero. This is where is at his best, although his technical skills are also first-class. Eddy's only weakness defensively would be against Fire Pro's bigger grapplers -- Andre, Jumbo, Baba, etc. But then again, who isn't at a disadvantage against those guys? Overall, don't be afraid to attempt anything. Be brave, be cocky, and look for the nearest turnbuckle when you want to end the match. STRIKES OK, so Eddy's not so hot when it comes to strikes. You can't have everything, can you? Oh well, just use the Horizontal Chop as your main strike offense, mix in the occasional regular kick, and avoid dropkicks at all costs. And since his running attacks count as strikes, I'll mention them briefly. Satellite Head Scissors. Huracanrana. They both rock. Use 'em. 'Nuff said. GRAPPLES Now we're talking. If you are confident with your grappling ability, you will achieve success with Eddy Guerrero. You'll find all of the staples of wrestling in his repertoire; the DDT, the Piledriver, the Suplex, you name it, Eddy probably has it in Fire Pro D. It's hard to recommend a specific grapple strategy since all of Eddy's grapples can be effective. He has two Specialty moves from a grapple, the Frankensteiner and the Shoulder Neckbreaker Drop. Use them both at your earliest convenience (when the opponent is starting to wear). Eddy's corner grapples are good. Especially effective is his Swinging DDT, which is a Specialty Move, not to mention it looks damn cool. Just remember, when you feel the end is near and it's time to put the opponent away, the Frog Splash (adopted by Eddy to honor his late tag team partner Art Barr) is the way to go. THE 4th COSTUME -- BLAAAAAKU TIIIIGAAAHHH! If you wish to relive Eddy's New Japan days as Black Tiger, simply select his fourth costume to get his classic mask and outfit! ====================== ==SECTION 5: CLOSING== ====================== In closing, I would like to thank: * ViperMask, who borrowed my formatting for his great Tiger Mask FAQ.
