Unbelievable isn't it? He was one of my favorites. He always put on great performances and really seemed to have his heart in it.
I haven't followed it lately, but a friend told me he was written in to win the championship title belt from Batista tonight too.
It was probably drugs, which is a damn shame.
He had a history of struggling with them, and to my knowledge there were no rumors that his demons had caught up to him this time. Everyone thought he had finally gone clean for the past few years.

Batista was so scared that Eddie was gonna beat him, he murdered him!
"I'll do ANYTHING to keep my belt! Anything!"

Seriously.. they've sunk pretty low.vraiblonde said:
But they've always honored their performers, employee or not at the time of their death, upon their passing.
I could see them using it 5 or so years from now... but anything short of that would be just plain tacky.

www.wrestlecrap.com is the place to go for Vince at his tackiest.
Vince McMahon is the KING of tacky. Nothing he does surprises me anymore.sleuth said:
Brett or Owen Hart anyone?

Get out of here...
...how come, when some pencil neck geek comes back after a few month layoff with perhaps a pound or two or 25 packed on and looks like they're chisled out of stone, everyone instantly cries steroids?
Why, just because Eddie had bi-ceps as large as Scott Steiner doesn't mean he was using some sort of help...
I mean, look at Nick Foley. He's a wrestler and looks just like Eddie, sort of. Nobody is accusing him of anything untoward. So his 'six pack' is a keg...

Seriously, though. Eddie was the doll of the wrestling fanbase. Every internet site had been screaming for him to get a title shot for years, because of his great work. He was also a human interest story because of his overcoming his problems with drug and alcohol abuse earlier in his career.Larry Gude said:
In the past year, he was finally elevated. Sure, he was in his late 30s, but he held the title earlier this year against some of the bigger names, and did it convincingly. It was said that he cried in the ring and after the event the night he won his first title, overcome with emotion, because he had thought he would never get his shot to carry the WWE banner due to his size and because of all those demons early in his career. Even though he was smaller than the average heavyweight (Shawn Michaels anyone?), he really held the fan's attention.
As I said earlier, to my knowledge and to most of the 'insiders' knowledge that you see on some of the wrestling news sites, Eddie Guerrero had been sober for years.
I only hope that his early death was caused by a weakened heart from those early years, and not from something current. It will have let down a lot of fans and it will ruin his legacy if that's the case.

I don't know if there is a tougher job...
...in the world than that of pro wrestler.
