I'm honestly at a loss for words. I feel like I've lost a dear friend. R.I.P Eddie

I don't know why anyone is going on about WWE working us with the death of one of their major talents. Thats what pisses me off with todays scene, people taking the news of a wrestlers death and thinking "oh, they must be working is"...truly f***ing sick

Jeez, thats the last thing I expected to see when I went on WWE.com
He will be missed so much, just as he was coming back to himself
God works in mysterious ways, why take someone much loved at this kind of time

I can get with that. But even their chatrooms are screaming "Work" right now.
There'll be a thing tomorrow night. Be sure of it.

I know its hard to think about at this moment, but its pretty much decided that the title was to change hands in that triple threat match because of Batista's injury, but what im thinking is instead of giving it to Orton, do you think they would give it to Chris Benoit or Rey Mysterio as a tribute to Eddie (such as the way Jeff Jarrett won the IC title shortly after Owen's death).
I think giving it to Benoit would be the best idea since we arent far enough removed from Rey and Eddie's storyline feud. Chris Benoit seems to be the only choice to become World Champion on this day.

I guess it has a lot of "this can't be real" in it. No one wants to think he's really gone. You almost want to hope it is a work, because it's so tragic. But mainstream news has it, so I think it's a moot point now. And for the record, if it was a work, Vince would have no soul.

Are you guys f***ing serious? People out there think this is a work? Sick, sick people. Horrible.
You know what I would like to have right now? One of those shirts that Eddie wore in WCW that said "Eddie Guerrero is my Favorite Wrestler". I am going to Survivor Series in two weeks, and I would totally be wearing that shirt.

Remember when Kane stole the ambulance? I'm still in a state of shock, though, and just can't believe he's gone. And I'm not trying to blame my anger on anybody, just...I'm hoping I'm wrong about wwe.com for once...

Here's a thought: He died as a babyface. If I were a wrestler, I'd hate to die during a dastardly heel run. Not to cheapen it, or anything, just a thought.

I still have trouble believing it. It just hasn't hit me yet.
It will probably hit me when they will make a special show about him. Which I hope they do.
But f***, I still can't believe it.

When Owen Hart died, there was a lot of the same reaction--people insisting that it was all a work, that it was fake. I knew one individual on rspw who insisted that he'd clearly seen Owen's face under the hood of one of the Undertaker's druids, and that the storyline would reveal a living Owen under 'Taker's spell.
I think the same thing's happening here, and I don't think, for the most part, that it's people trying to be obnoxious or know-it-alls. Oh, sure, there may be a few...but I think that, for the most part, this is a defense mechanism. Pro wrestling, for most of us, is our escape from reality...a place where you know the good guys will eventually win, the bad guys will eventually lose, and the guy who got dropped in the car crusher on Monday will be back the next Monday with a bandage on his forehead.
We don't like it when real life intrudes and reminds us that, no, sometimes the good guy doesn't get up after fighting the good fight. That sometimes bad things, senseless, stupid, horrible things, happen to people who don't deserve it.
So we try to convince ourselves that this is just more of the make-believe. One more crappy storyline that RD will post on the website and that we'll alternately chuckle and groan about for years to come.
I wish it was. I wish to God it was, just like I wish it had all been a work when Owen died.
Unfortunately, in the real world, wishing doesn't make it so.
God bless and Godspeed, Eddie.

Well I suppose you can never truly say never when it comes to the McMahons. But if this was a work, I would be through with WWE. Or at the very least, I would take a loooooong vacation from it. But this is no time for WWE bashing from me, because it's not a work. Anyone have any cool/funny Eddie stories? My cousin is an EMT, and he was on call at a SmackDown in Detroit. Eddie hurt his knee on a frog splash, and my cousin went back to the locker room to bandage up Eddie's knee. I unforunately, never have met the guy.

I'm pretty sure we can expect the 10 bell salute with all the Raw and SmackDown superstars on the stage tomorrow night.
