I am at a loss for words.
This almost doesn't seem real. I simply cannot believe what has happened. First and foremost, my sincere and deepest condolensces to the Guerrero family. They've been through a lot, and this certainly doesn't help. This is a very shocking day to say the least. Right up there with Owen's untimely passing. This is NOT a work. Media outlets in Minneapolis are reporting this so this isn't made up just for storyline purposes.
Rest in peace, Eddie.

Didn't Brian Pillman and "Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert die in a Minneapolis hotel room as well??
I'm pretty sure. That's just to weird.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I just want to hear more information about this. I hate to think that the only thing I know is that he's dead, instead of an answer as to "why!!!"

I'm so sad for his children, his wife, and anyone that knew and loved him. No matter the reasons for his death, he will always be an inspiration to me as well as the millions of others who got to know him through their Televisions. This is an awfully sad day.

Well, the first stage when people hear of a crisis is denial. Obviously, in wrestling, you pray that this sort of thing is a work. Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be the case.
Hopefully this wasn't drug overdose or anything like that.
RIP Eddie. Thanks for the memories.
P.S. if Chavo is still doing the Kerwin White character after this, the WWE should be shot.

This can't be a work & any of you idiots who think it is need to wise up.
Paul Bearer dead in story line. Eddie has died for real.
Could you seriously believe the WWE working this one? It'd be classed as the most ditasteful thing ever done in wrestling & would turn so many people on the company.

Wow, just wow.
Since it looked like Eddie was going to win the title, a great tribute, in my opinion, would be Benoit winning the belt and then him vacating it and calling Eddie the honorary champion until a new champion is crowned.

Last time I felt like this about a wrestler dying was Owen, it was such a shock but I feel maybe this is even more shocking because Eddie was the top guy on SD! just behind Batista but Eddie would have been the man this time next week. Effectivly I feel like the WWE has lost their champion and I feel like I've lost a true hero of mine.

From wcco.com:
(WCCO) Minneapolis: World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis, the organization said Sunday.
Guerrero, 38, was found at the Marriott City Center in downtown Minneapolis. He was in town for Sunday night's "WWE Supershow" TV taping at Target Center.
Police confirmed Guerrero's death, but are not yet releasing additional information. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner was at the hotel.
Guerrero was a featured star on the UPN series "WWE Smackdown!" and the subject of a full-length DVD titled "Cheating Death, Stealing Life."
Son of legendary Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero has also wrestled with World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling, among other federations. His nephew, Chavo Guerrero, Jr., also wrestles with WWE.
Stay with WCCO.COM for more information as it becomes available.

I am in shock over the passing of Eddie Guerrero. He was a guy who overcame a lot to get to the pinnacle of wrestling and that was being a World Champion. He was entertaining on the mic and in the ring. He had the ability to make you love him or hate him. He could make you smile, laugh, gasp and take your breath away by what he could do in the ring.
He touched a lot of fans all over the world from his time wrestling in Mexico, Japan and here in the US. Eddie had a lot of close friends in wrestling in Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, Konnan, Juventud Guerrero, Psychosis and Dean Malenko to name a few. I think a fitting tribute that the WWE can do is to have Kerwin White's gimmick dropped and have him go back to being Chavo Guerrero Jr.
One thing that came to mind when I heard that Eddie Guerrero passed away in his hotel in Minneapolis was Brian Pillman. 8 years ago, Pillman passed away in a hotel in Minneapolis. That is a very eerie coincidence.
I hope that everybody in the WWE does their best to honor Eddie Guerrero the best that they know how to tonight and that is put on the best show they can. It's hard to believe that he's gone. I am really going to miss seeing him perform in the ring.
RIP and thank you Eddie Guerrero for the memories.

i have been away from the boards for a few days and this is the last thing i expected to see coming on here. My last post was saying how he was one of the best storytellers in the ring. I am truly shocked and really at a loss of words right now.
R.I.P. Eddie your memory shall live forever

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. Excellent perspective.
