stlkev70 11-13-05, 04:58 PM That is truly sad.:( He was one of my favorites.
Sad, sad sad sad.
He was only two years older than me.
Lived a life filled with substance abuse steroid abuse. Only to overcome it. Chavo, his nephew said that Eddie told him last night that he had just celebrated four years of sobriety.
He leaves behind three daughters, 12, 10 and a 2 year old.
He was probably one of the more ENTERTAINING of the sports entertainment performers, as well as one of the best WRESTLERS the WWE had.
This is very sad for me. I loved watching him wrestle.
RIP Eddie.

Nov. 13, 2005
WWE is deeply saddened by the news that Eddie Guerrero has passed away. He was found dead this morning in his hotel room in Minneapolis. Eddie is survived by his wife Vickie and daughters Shaul, 14, Sherilyn, 9, and Kaylie Marie, 3.
I was so shocked when I just saw thiss on the evening news. I was doing dishes and to stop to here what was going on. Such a trajic loss to wrestling industry. R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero :cry:
The storied career of Eddie Guerrero
Eddie Guerrero was born into Mexico’s first family of professional wrestling in 1967. The son of the legendary Gory Guerrero, it was only natural that Eddie, along with his three older brothers, would pursue a career in sports-entertainment. With wrestling flowing through his veins, Eddie began his in-ring training at a very young age. In fact, Guerrero had mastered the dropkick by his third birthday.
Eddie moved from his family’s backyard ring to the professional circuit in 1987 when he debuted as “Mascara Magica” or “Magic Mask” in Mexico. After teaming with his brothers, Guerrero broke out on his own, crafting his skills in the lucha libre world. Eddie then moved on to Japan, wrestling as Black Tiger. It was there that Guerrero first met good friend Chris Benoit.
After moving back to Mexico full time, Eddie began teaming with El Hijo del Santo, who was the son of Gory Guerrero’s long-time associate El Santo. Eddie and Santo eventually broke up, with Eddie forming a duo with Art Barr. The pair would feud with Santo in one of the most heated rivalries in lucha libre history, which culminated in Guerrero and Barr losing a hair vs. mask match to Santo and Octagon in November 1994.
Eddie then moved on to ECW, where he gained his first full exposure in the United States. Not long after his ECW debut, Guerrero defeated 2 Cold Scorpio for the ECW Television Championship, a title he held twice before moving to WCW. Guerrero's ECW stay will always be remembered for the amazing match he had with Dean Malenko before leaving the promotion. After the match, which many consider to be one of the greatest ECW matches ever, the crowd showed their appreciation for Guerrero by giving him a standing ovation.
Guerrero spent four years competing in WCW. While there, he was a part of numerous memorable rivalries with the likes of Booker T, Rey Mysterio, Dean Malenko, Ric Flair and nephew Chavo.
On Dec. 29, 1996, Guerrero defeated Diamond Dallas Page in the finals of a tournament to crown a new United States Champion. He also went on to capture the Cruiserweight Championship on two separate occasions before leaving WCW.
On Jan. 31, 2000, four new faces showed up on Monday Night RAW and shocked the sports-entertainment world. They were former WCW wrestlers Benoit, Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero – The Radicalz. The faction immediately got involved in a match between the New Age Outlaws and Al Snow & Steve Blackman, marking the beginning of Guerrero’s amazing WWE career.
Over the next five years, Eddie Guerrero overcame many obstacles to reach the top. In his first WWE match against the Outlaws, Eddie suffered a dislocated elbow, but returned to action in a short time. On April 3, 2000, he claimed his first piece of WWE gold, defeating Chris Jericho to win the European Championship. He would go on to win that championship one more time in 2001.
After The Radicalz went their separate ways, Eddie began a relationship with his “Mamacita,” Chyna. In fact, it was Chyna that Eddie defeated in September 2000 to claim the Intercontinental Championship. After their split, Eddie’s demons got the best of him. He subsequently took time off from the ring in 2001 to deal with his personal issues.
Upon his return in 2002, Eddie’s career skyrocketed to new heights. He won the Intercontinental Championship again in May 2002, this time from Rob Van Dam. Eventually, Eddie moved to SmackDown where he teamed with nephew Chavo to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship. He would win that championship three more times, as well as the United States Championship, but his greatest moment came in February 2004.
On Feb. 15, 2004 in San Francisco, Guerrero defeated Brock Lesnar at No Way Out to become WWE Champion. He had reached the pinnacle of the industry, and went on to headline WrestleMania XX against Kurt Angle. No one will ever forget the scene at the end of the show, when Eddie joined long-time friend Benoit in the ring to celebrate moments after Benoit won the World Heavyweight Championship.
Eddie later formed an alliance with another old friend, Rey Mysterio, and the duo would win the WWE Tag Team Championship in early 2005. This was Eddie’s final run as a champion, as the duo split up after WrestleMania 21 and began a bitter rivalry, highlighted by numerous breath-taking matches.
At No Mercy on Oct. 9, 2005, Eddie’s 38th birthday, Eddie squared off against a new amigo, Batista. He was unable to win the World Heavyweight Championship from the Animal, but their friendship was cemented when Batista led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to Latino Heat afterwards. A little more than one month later, Guerrero competed in his final televised match on the Nov. 11 edition of Friday Night SmackDown where he defeated Mr. Kennedy

Roemello 11-14-05, 12:57 AM I couldn't believe what I was reading when I saw this a few minutes ago... RIP Eddie :(
80sTrivia 11-14-05, 04:43 AM I just read this on the Internet as well. Even though I'm not a fan of wrestling, I knew immediately who he was when I read his name. To die so young... :(
Very sad indeed :cry: I'm not a fan of wrestling but I know a few folks that knew him personally, he will be GREATLY missed :rose:
djdaffy1227 11-15-05, 06:12 AM Last night was only the second time I ever cried watching a wrestling program. The last time was the Owen Hart tribute show. :(
This is a sad thing. I found out from a friend at work. RIP Eddie..:(
Jazzmyn 11-16-05, 03:43 PM I just read thath the officisl cause of death is heart failure. Partly due to his years of drugs and the rest was just the hard life he led. He was always working out, wanting to better for the fams. Thr should have taken that time to rest.
I know Friday will be another tribute show to him. I was near tears last night. can imagine wht I'll be like on Friday. :(
80's fanatic 11-16-05, 10:56 PM I am deeply saddened by Eddie's death, I found out on Monday night after work while I was reading my local newspaper. I have watched Eddie since his WCW days, and I was both shocked and thrilled when he joined WWE ( then known as WWF). Eddie was a great wrestler and his loss will be felt for some time to come. My thoughts and prayers go out to both his family and his close friends. He surely will be missed..... RIP Eddie .... we will remember you always :rose: :rose:
I hadn't even heard about this. That is so, so sad. Eddie was one of my, and my son's, favorite wrestlers. Reading some of the tributes at www.wwe.com/inside/news/eddieemail it would seem that he was a greatly loved man.
For a guy who's motto was Lie, Cheat and Steal, he had a lot of class.
Mr 1980s 2-04-06, 01:40 PM Triple H and Randy Orton need their mouths taped shut for the way they disrespected the Guerrero family recently.
