El Paso is turning up the heat for one of its own. On November 18, 2025, the City of El Paso will officially recognize\u00a0Eddie Guerrero Day, honoring the life and legacy of\u00a0Eddie Guerrero, the man the world came to know as\u00a0Latino Heat. From his early days training under the famous Guerrero family to his reign as a world champion on wrestling\u2019s biggest stage, Eddie carried the heart, humor, and hunger of this city wherever he went.<\/p>\n

For fans, this isn\u2019t just a city proclamation. It\u2019s a long-overdue tribute to a son of El Paso who brought lucha to the world and never forgot where he came from.

Organizers are raising funds to\u00a0refurbish the Eddie Guerrero mural,\u00a0rename a local park in his honor, and ultimately\u00a0create a bronze statue\u00a0that will permanently commemorate his contributions to wrestling and the Borderland community.<\/p>\n These efforts, led by community advocate\u00a0Chris Rojas, invite fans from every corner of the city and beyond to take part. The goal isn\u2019t just to remember Eddie, it\u2019s to make sure future generations know who he was and what he stood for: hard work, pride, and an unbreakable bond with his people.<\/p>\n El Paso has produced many legends, but few ever embodied the city\u2019s spirit the way Eddie did. He was fiery, funny, flawed, and fearless, and every time he stepped into the ring, the crowd could feel the Borderland beating in his chest.<\/p>\n Eddie Guerrero Day isn\u2019t just a date on the calendar. It\u2019s a reminder that heroes like Eddie don\u2019t fade; they live on through us, through our stories, and through the city that built them.<\/p>\n To get involved or contribute to the mural restoration, park renaming, or statue project, contact: Because legends like Latino Heat don\u2019t burn out, they light the way for everyone who comes after.<\/p>\n Forme WWE Star Cinta De Oro Celebrates 25 Years in the Ring with LuchaPalooza<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: Courtesy: Cinta De oro<\/p>\n 10 Infamous Receipts in Pro Wrestling History<\/p>\n In pro wrestling, a “receipt” is an ass-kicking that you brought upon yourself. It comes from the cardinal rule of the business — always take care of your opponent. If you fail to do that, the repercussions will fall squarely on your head (often via chair shot).<\/p>\n The Undertaker\u00a0recently\u00a0explained<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0purpose of giving receipts in wrestling. “I’m pretty patient [when it comes to giving a receipt]. It all depends on intent,” the Deadman said. “Some guys just work very snug. I pride myself on my punches. I feel like I can make it look like I can take your head off and not touch you. Every once in a while one gets away from me… I’d much rather it be there than it miss. It ain’t ballet.”But not all receipts come after a stiff shot gets away. Sometimes a performer\u00a0delivers a receipt to protect themselves\u00a0from an unsafe worker, like when\u00a0Taker\u00a0had to shut down\u00a0Giant Gonzalez\u00a0at\u00a0Wrestlemania IX. “[Gonzalez] cracks me right across the back of my neck, and then once\u00a0I get back the feeling in my little fingers… I flipped,”\u00a0Taker\u00a0recalled on his\u00a0podcast<\/a>. “I turned around and just started wailing on him.”<\/p>\n Let’s go\u00a0back to classic WWE, the old territories, and even a battle between monsters in Japan. Here are 10 of the most infamous receipts in pro wrestling history.<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: WWE \/ NWA \/ HWA \/ YouTube<\/p>\n 25 Worst Shirts in WWE History<\/p>\n Gallery Credit: WWE<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"El Paso is turning up the heat for one of its own.
