Agreed. I'd much rather think Vince is unholy and have Eddie around.

You know...if this WAS a work, it would be absolutely the most tasteless, pointless, terrible angle of all time. That being said: I think I would stand up and applaud if Eddie popped up out of the coffin and said, "Hey, holmes, guess what? About me being dead? I LIED!" Damn. Just...damn. for f*** sake, there is NO need for this! You should be banned straight away

I posted more in a non-posted thread, but I will add this, he was an athlete of consistency from what I've heard in his days in Mexico to what I saw in WCW and the WWE.

for criminey jeeze sake, there is NO need for this! You should be banned straight away Please get a grip. There was nothing facetious or disrespectful about my comment. I would be EXTREMELY happy to find out this was a work at this point. I wish to heaven that I could believe even for a second that it was. It's not. I don't. More's the pity. If you think I should be banned for wishing he was still alive...well, I forgive you for that. I'm upset about this, too.

Everyone, take it easy. As I said to someone before, we're all a little raw today, so...
And I just know that come tomorrow night, I'm gonna see Chris Benoit cry and that'll be it for me for the week. I'll just be done.

I've only been a wrestling fan since 2001, so I have never really had the chance to see some of Eddie's work in ECW or WCW. Going simply on the merits of what he did in the WWE, he was one of those rare wrestling packages who could be entertaining simply by coming into the arena with a smile on his face. Seeing him and Benoit in the middle of that ring to culminate XX probably stands out as the classic wrestling moment since my viewing began four years ago and I have nothing but good things to say about the product he gave me every week.
All you can do is look back at the classic moments he brought you and enjoy it.

But REALLY is it that hard to put it past WWE? First thing I thought was it was a work. I would be PISSED if it was a work, but the fact that Eddie was still alive would outweight me being pissed. Unfortunately, this wont happen, and Eddie wont come back.

The WWE doesn't work deaths.
People shouldn't be mad at what they work anyway, because it's all in good fun. That's what makes the WWE interesting, and what helps fuel online discussions. I personally trust WWE.com better than I do other internet sites. Hell, I don't go on net sites, I get my news from here. If they work something like, Jericho signs a long term contract extention, so what, it just increases the surprise. I like it when WWE.com does that.
I guess like, people are in so much shock that they want to believe the WWE would work this. I don't think anyone in their right minds would ever believe the WWE would work a death, but I don't think that many people are in their right minds at this moment.
No one should be banned for making those comments, they're just in shock as much as everybody else.

I dont know the man personally, but I feel like crying right now. Eddie Guerrero was a terrific proformer who gave his heart and soul doing what he loved. Above all else, Eddie was a husband and a father to 2 beautiful children. He overcame a horrible addiction and an accident that almost killed him. He was and will always be an inspiration to everyone that you CAN turn your life around. Rest In Peace Eddie, you will always be loved and you will certianly always be missed.

It's totally NOT beyond Vince to pull something like this, but it's not. As much as I'm sure we'd all like it to be a work, it's horribly not.

Guys, let's please be clear: I'm not saying this is a work.
I don't believe for one second that it's a work.
I'm saying that I WISH it was a work. There's a big difference.
And I think that what most of the people who are saying "It's a work" are really saying is exactly what the rest of us are saying:
"I don't want this to be true. Please don't let it be true."

Very true. If it were a work, we'd all be relieved because this is really too horrible to accept.

sadly WWE didi work one death, but it was a part of an angle, remember they had Torrie Wilson's dad get sexed to death by Dawn Marie? now i am not saying that this is a work, because i can tell it isn't it is very sad when a wrestler dies.

Id much rather have a tasteless WWE than a dead Eddie.
