To paraphrase Linda Lee, I don't wanna talk about how he died. I wanna talk about how he lived.
I will remember Eddie as not just a great wrestler, but being one damn good entertainer. I'm actually looking at the newest induction at WrestleCrap and laughing my as off.

I hope on Raw they show some clips of ECW & WCW, I really want to see the clip from Nitro wheer Guerrero claimed to have his wallet stolen by one of the Lucha's & said he could only ID them under their masks it was a classic, although they all came out & attacked him in the end.

I hate 2005 so many untimed deaths this year. Chris Candido, Chris Ca$h, Spider, Eddie. This is sad I just remember watching him on Smackdown couple of week's ago the one when he got his lowrider back. Now....

CHEATING DEATH, STEALING LIFE I thought it was just some fancy title about Eddie's big comeback from being down in the dumps. I didn't realize it really meant that he was living on borrowed time. Realizing that he took drugs and the fact that he got in a serious car accident when he worked for WCW makes me realize that Eddie probably lived longer than he ever though possible. It's understandable if people can't think about wrestling at a time like this. I'm not one of those people. Reality is setting in. They're not going to last forever. Eddie, Chavo, Jericho, Benoit, Mysterio, Juvi, etc. Just a sample of guys I've always wanted to see either at the top or as big time players. "PUSH EDDIE, PUSH BENOIT, WHY AREN'T THEY BEING PUSH!" fans often cried. Now I can't say "PUSH EDDIE" anymore. That's unreal to me. I am thankful that Eddie, at least, got a chance to sample the WWE Title. He at least got to celebrate with his buddy Benoit at a Wrestlemania. As for the last thing Eddie did....at least it was his typical "Lie, cheat, and steal" gimmick, and he was a face, and he was happy. Imagine this happening during the angle in which Eddie harrasses Rey Mysterio and his family? True story, I just got around to watching Smackdown last night (late Saturday Night). I saw Orton vs. Mysterio. Not a great match but a decent way to start off the show. Then Tazz and Cole ran down the rest of the Qualifying matches seeing the Eddie vs. Kennedy graphic brought a smile to my face. Heck, seeing the Eddie graphic always brings a smile to my face. What a final match to have. The the beginning AND ending sums up Eddie Guerrero in a nutshell (save for Kennedy's retaliation) from the start: Eddie raises his hand for a "test of strength", then pokes Kennedy in the eye; to the finish: Eddie has a chair, the ref is stirring, Eddie sees the ref, slams the mat with the chair, tosses it to Kennedy and then lays on the ground. Ref sees Kennedy with the chair, sees Eddie laid out, and DQs Kennedy. I honestly wasn't thinking too much about whether Eddie would win the title or not. Knowing WWE, they probably would've handed it to Orton again anyway. That's what I figured. Still, Eddie entertained me that quiet Saturday late-night. Whenever the possibility of a push for one of my long time favorite talents comes to mind I'm always thinking "they aren't getting any younger." I don't know how much time some of these guys have left. So here I stand, thankful for Eddie Guerrero. I'm thankful that God allowed him some extra time to entertain me knowing God could have taken him a lot earlier. I wlll definately cherish those days in addition to the days for the guys I'm still able to watch because who knows when they're time will come.

On a side note, I really wish JR would be on commentary Monday to cover this. It's going to seem weird to have King, Coach, and Styles there to give the news instead of JR.
That might not make sense, but hearing JR would be more comforting in a situation like this, in my opinion.

I've been reading this forum without joining for months, but I just felt like I HAVE to post on this.
Eddie was the greatest wrestler going in the WWE. Maybe not in the actual wrestling part, but he had everything a wrestler needs to be on top. I just knew that they were going to put the World Title on him in that Triple threat with Orton and Batista. Maybe they'll break kayfabe and then tell everyone that he was going to win it (if that's indeed the case) due to Batista's injury and hold the belt up. Then they can have the "Eddie Guerrero Memorial Title Tournament," and put all of his friends on Smackdown!, and a returning Chavo (sans the Kirwin White crap), and make that all the next Smackdown! only PPV. That would be the best way to pay tribute to him, I think, but that's just the armchair booker part of me coming out.
I know that WWE will turn tonight's show, both raw and smackdown, into a tribute to him.
I love you Eddie, and I will never forget you.

From the Torch
Eddie Guerrero was found in his hotel room in Minneapolis with his toothbrush in his mouth. He apparently died while brushing his teeth. At this point, the belief among WWE personnel is that Guerrero died of heart failure.
Shortly after Guerrero's body was found and removed from the room, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Dean Malenko and Chavo Guerrero visited the hotel room to say their goodbyes. WWE wrestlers and staffers were visibly shaken and emotional while leaving the hotel to go the Target Center, the site of tonight's Raw/Smackdown taping. Word from WWE sources is that the tenor of tonight's taping will be dramatically different and that the Smackdown show will need to be revised.
Guerrero's death is now the lead story on WWE.com, under the headline "Tragic Loss". The article says that WWE is "deeply saddened" by Guerrero's death, and provides no further details on his passing.

I'm really gonna miss him.

I had a feeling it was heart-related. I don't know why, but I just had that feeling.

Untimely deaths (wrestling & not) Daft storylines (wwe) Tragedies all over the world
