With the quality of WWE having gone down in the past few years, there were only a few wrestlers left who made the shows (especially SmackDown) worth watching for me, including Guerrero, Benoit, Angle, and Jericho (until he left). Eddie was just such a fun guy, it's hard to believe we won't see him again...

RIP Eddie. You will be missed.

I was wondering if you had heard about Eddie yet

*Raph's Girl* · 11-15-2005, 02:18 AM

After hearing the guy's comments. Yes on the one hand he has a good point. WWE isn't really a sport...it's soap opera for guys. However the moves and such are REAL...they DO get hurt. They have athletic moves.

However his argument was where his obit should be. Really...it depends on the newspaper...if they wanna put him in the sports section or entertainment section then so be it. Doesn't really matter.

But still...the reporter is an arse and will no doubt be fired. He didn't know jack about Eddie Guerrero. He doesn't realize how big Eddie was and how he effected so many lives. He was a hero to many for how he got back on his feet after drugs and alcahol nearly destroyed his career and family.

*Raph's Girl* · 11-15-2005, 03:14 AM

Wow! Since I signed that petition 200 peeps have signed it...in the last 30 min!

Oh and I found a way to email Colin Cowherd.... fill his mail box with hate mail now!

*The Stryker* · 11-15-2005, 03:28 AM

Ended my e-mail with a gritty in-your-face "F*ck you"

Eddie would be proud, But i think we should stop being sad, we should celebrate his life and what he accomplished. Thats why i changed my mourning avatar to the one i have now...I want to remember Eddie with a smile.

Read my Yoda quote.

It's bad enough when you hear of a familiar wrestler that has been retired or off of TV for a long time suddenly passing away, but for this to happen to Eddie Guerrero, who had just appeared last Friday on Smackdown and had a good chance of another title run soon, is very tragic and shocking. No matter what storyline Eddie was put in, he always knew how to entertain everyone, whether making people laugh with his "lying, cheating, and stealing" gimmick or giving a convincing performance in a heel role. I would look forward to his matches each Smackdown since he was always fun to watch, both in the ring and in backstage segments. He was one of my favorite wrestlers by far, and the WWE (and all of wrestling for that matter) won't be the same without him.

And as for that ESPN idiot, he deserves to be fired.

*The Stryker* · 11-15-2005, 04:45 AM

Wow...I've posted way too much in this thread but i just miss Eddie so much.

I've made these black bands ala what the wrestlers were wearing this past monday and i thought that maybe as a small tribute we could put these in our sigs...atleast for alittle while.

Probably won't work but i thought it was nice.

*XERO* · 11-15-2005, 08:18 AM

Thanks, Stryker. I'm putting it on now.

*Mars-Chan* · 11-15-2005, 10:38 AM

It you haven't read about Eddie. Here's the link http://www.nbc5i.com/entertainment/5316498/detail.html

It's a sad hear and read about the untimely death of Eddie Guerrero. He was one of the cool WWE wrestler. He died Sunday morning. The cause of his death is unknown. He was 38 years old. He had a wife and 3 little girls.

*KROW* · 11-15-2005, 04:13 PM

I have a request: don't ask for that jabroni to be fired. The better solution would be to have him keep spouting his mouth off when all the while giving him the small thought in the back of his mind, as well as the back of everyone else's, that he made a major fool out of himself and it tarnished his already ridiculous career. Let his mistake hang over his head like the sword of Damicles in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, he won't do it again.

Professional wrestling is a sport. Here's why: the wrestlers are athletes. They train, put on uniforms, put on a show in front of a camera and a ticket-paying audience, go shower up in a locker room, get dressed, and get back on the bus/plane and head for the next town. They're no different than those of the NFL, NBA, NHL, or MLB. The only difference is that they make it entertaining with the acting and the flashy displays.

Those guys are the best people in the world to meet. They're not in the news for debauchery like having sex with minors or gambling or punching out fans and cameramen. You'd have better luck getting an autograph from Triple H than you would from Barry Bonds. BTW, have you ever seen Kobe Bryant shake hands with a soldier in Iraq? NO.

Oh, and may I add they DON'T wear padding nor helmets? THANK YOU.

The preliminary results of Eddie Guerrero's autopsy have been released to the public. As expected, Eddie died of heart failure. The coroners noted that his heart showed signs of heart disease. As well, Eddie's arteries and veins were constricted and had narrowed and thinned considerably. His widow noted in a statement on WWE.com that Eddie had been complaining of fatigue all last week, but dismissed it as being road-weary. In light of the autopsy results, Eddie's fatigue was actually the result of the vessels' constriction.

We must stress now that Eddie had just celebrated his fourth year of sobriety last Thursday, and did not fall victim to temptaion or accidentally overdose, as some individuals in the mainstream media may have suggested. However, his heart disease, vessel atrophy, and heart failure did result in part from his past years of abuse. Not sure what comfort this may be, but it has been suggested that Eddie's heart attack was quite sudden, and he would have basically "fallen asleep", meaning that he would have felt next to no pain at all.

*The Stryker* · 11-16-2005, 12:03 AM

Good...Im glad he went peacefully.

I just watched the tribute show again and i got the first laugh in awhile..sure it was unintentional but i found it funny.

Trips delivers this big touching speech and then stands up and looks as if he's in his underwear.....WTF?

I still found Shawn Michaels' interview to be the most comforting...he made it seem like Eddie was in a better place and that we all would see him again someday...Dammit...here I go again.

Oh yeah! thanks for putting the bands in your sigs guys.

**Barkworm** · 11-16-2005, 12:14 AM

I don't watch wrestling and till yesterday I ddin't even know who Eddie Guerrero was but after reading through this thread and some articles about him I feel with you. It seems like he really was an awesome person.
It's always the heart...

*Storm Wolf* · 11-16-2005, 05:30 PM

This is such a shock...and what a shame, too.

Eddie Guerrero was one of the wrestlers I really enjoyed watching in the ring. He had so much Charisma...and his facial expressions were great.

I just recently came back to being a wrestling fan after a long hiatus. I really wish I could have seen more of him. I would have loved to go see a live event with Eddie Guerrero.

Now I've got to find a way to get my furry paws on a "I'm your Papi" T-shirt.

The last event I went to, was a double RAW/SmackDown taping. Through the night me and my friends kept talking about who would get the best crowd reaction. Cena, Underataker, H, Orton?

I told them not to count on it, as soon as Eddie Guerrero comes out the place was going to explode.

Sure enough, as soon as they set up the smackdown stage EVERYONE IN THE VENUE started chanting "WE WANT EDDIE! WE WANT EDDIE!"

Later during the show, the side I was sitting on we could see the lowrider being brought from backstage and Eddie sitting in it getting ready to drive it out after the "Commercial". (Even though SD wasn't going to be aired untill Thursday, they still put the Commercial breaks in)

After a few minutes Booker T's music started the crowd went nuts for Booker untill

VIVA LA RAZZA!

The crowd literally EXPLODED. You couldn't even hear Eddie's music after that opening. He drove the lowrider out and danced in it for a minute then danced in the ring. THe crowd turned on Booker T. Eddie ended up winning, and he Danced in the ring for the duration of his theme. (Booker T came back afterwards and turned heel on him, but that wasn't aired on TV)

It was so amazing to see him wrestle live.

**Jester** · 11-16-2005, 05:41 PM

Even as a non-wrestling fan I'm glad to hear that Eddie died not of an overdose like a lot of people claimed....sad that it was heart diesese...it kills too soon. It took Gurerrero and eariler took Mitch Hedberg. This might be a good time for people to look into their own heart health, sad, but at least Eddie is doing good even in death.

**GK Punk** · 11-16-2005, 05:48 PM

yeah, I've always had slight heart issues but I think after all of this I may go get checked out to make sure they haven't become bigger issues.

For anyone who isn't familiar with Eddie's work, check out wwe.com they have alot of great clips, pictures and video tributes up right now.

**GK Punk** · 11-16-2005, 09:35 PM

Sorry for the double post, but

Awesome..I already ordered the shirt and the picture.

Im waiting on that "I'm Your Papi" Shirt

**GK Punk** · 11-16-2005, 11:47 PM
