Eddie Guerrero passes away

[JH]

This is from my Mother but she wanted me to post this here so everyone would know how she felt about Eddie.....

I'm handicapped and dont get out very much at all.My Husband and Son watch Wrestling all the time but I only watch Smackdown.I only watch it until Eddie comes out and then I dont watch anymore of it and after the tribute on Smackdown this Friday I wil not be viewing anymore because it will too hard to watch with Eddie not being there.
My Son got to meet Eddie here in Roanoke Va. in 2003 and unfortunately i could'nt go.Eddie was signing autogrpahs for everyone and He was only gonna sign 1 for each person to make it go quicker but my Son told Eddie how much I loved watching him and Eddie signed an extra autograph just for me.People might not think that was a big deal but to me it was a very big deal and it meant the world to know that not only did Eddie love his fans but he loved his handicapped fans as well.
I will never forget Eddie and he will forever be missed

[Hired Hitman]

Whenever somebody says something to a different extreme than somebody else people here always say "Don't post again", "You suck" etc.

Cerebral Assassin, now knows that he might have crossed the line with those comments and is sorry he offended most of the people that saw it.

While I see it as disrespectful, I also see it as anger, anger because fans can't see the wrestler who entertained them for so many years, while I believe Fans should be able to see their favourite celebrities, sometimes it's better they don't, you might be very professional about it and stay out of the families way, you wouldn't even say anything, but there are people out there who wouldn't be so respectfull and quiet... you know? :-\

[RottingFreak]

Seeing Eddie go like that made me realise how much his life actually means to a fan, it's like seeing a very close person go.

I can only imagine how hard this must be to his family and friends. I'll miss seeing Eddie and knowing that he's alive and well.

[Gouda]

:nono:

Today at school I heard some marks talking about Eddie's death. One was saying how it must be sad for Dominic to find out Eddie is his real father and then for him to die.

:nono:

[BlackDawn2024]

Losing Eddie has been more painful on me than any other death in wrestling. It shows a lot when I cry that a person I didn't even know has died. That says something.

:nono:
I was in a similar situation. Some people I know, who are wrestling fans, were joking around during RAW that Dominick would really be confused with almost everyone wearing the "I'm Your Papi" shirt. I had to chuckle a little bit to see Rey wearing it, since he is the reason that shirt came out.

[FourFifty]

TerranRich then began to slam his fist into his hand making the sound of fist hitting flesh. "NO! STOP!!! STOP HITTING ME!!!" TerranRich screams. Ignorant Guy looks confused and starts to back away. TerranRich then drops to the floor and holds a hand over one side of his face just in time for a few co-workers to come around the corner to see what's going on. With a look of terror TerranRich points at Ignorant Guy from the ground with his free hand and says, "KEEP HIM AWAY FROM ME!! HE'S CRAZY!!"

"I didn't do anything!" Ignorant Guy exclaims.

"I WAS JUST SITTING HERE WORKING AND HE JUST STARTED PUNCHING ME!!!" TerranRich yells with a trembling voice.

"I'm calling security," one of the co-workers states.

"But I didn't do anything!" screams Ignorant Guy starting to lose his cool.

With in minutes two security guards show up and escort Ignorant Guy from the building. TerranRich settles back into his desk and with a smile on his face he whispers, "That's for you, Eddie."

R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero

I work at the main supermarket in town, and there's a dude who I really don't like who comes in... I dislike him from outside of work, so next time I see him I think I'll pull an Eddie.:lol:

Hey, WWE.com has a lot more testimonials up

Also, they have some clips of a phone interview with RVD where he talks about Eddie. Interesting stuff.

Vickie Guerrero speaks on Eddie's autopsy report
Nov. 15, 2005

After the untimely passing of Eddie Guerrero, WWE and the entire sports-entertainment community is still reeling from the devastating loss of a champion. The initial autopsy reports on Guerrero have come in. WWE.com spoke with Eddie’s widow, Vickie Guerrero, earlier today.

“It was heart failure. It was from his past – the drinking and the drug abuse. They found signs of heart disease. She (the examiner) said that the blood vessels were very worn and narrow, and that just showed all the abuse from the scheduling of work and his past. And Eddie just worked out like crazy all the time. It made his heart grow bigger and work harder and the vessels were getting smaller, and that’s what caused the heart failure. He went into a deep sleep.

As soon as they saw his heart, they saw the lining of his heart already had the heart disease. There was no trauma, and Eddie hadn’t hurt himself in any way. It answered a lot of questions. I knew Eddie wasn’t feeling very good for the last week. He was home and kept saying he wasn’t feeling good and we thought it was just “road tired.” So we thought he just had to rest. It answered a lot of my questions, too, because he was just so exhausted. She said it was normal because the heart was working so hard.

When he didn’t call me last night and the night before I knew it was for real, because he would call me every night. I miss his phone calls. I cried through the whole thing (last night).

I loved his laugh. His laugh was the best.

We just celebrated his four-year sobriety last Thursday. We just thought we had life by the handful. We thought we had it all figured out. He worked so hard to make a better life for us.

I’m just overwhelmed by how people are coming out. It’s touched my heart a lot.

Everybody was just in awe last night in how beautifully everything was put together.

All my life was wrestling. All he did was take care of them and live for that. And I don’t know what to do now.”

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/causeofdeath

Damn, heart failure.:(

R.I.P Eddie.:(

At least we have the saftey of knowing that it wasn't suicide, and that he was happy with his life :y:

[NoRoolz]

...and he remained clean, not going back to old ways. Also the death would be relatively painless I think?

[CharismaInjection]

Well I assume if he was still clutching his toothbrush, it was instant, if not, he would have certainly let it go.

[mrslackalack]

Whats errie is on a WM 20 promo that you can see on many DVD's from that period. They show many superstars like Booker, Eddie, Big Show, Brock, Angle, etc. and the voice says ''one day we will die'' and it is showing Eddie.

[RGWhat316]

I was watching No Way Out when Eddie won the title, and theres a time where you can hear Brock yell "Just die Eddie, die." That sent chills.

[Cool King]

I was looking for pics of The Undertaker, for my next C-Fed promo when I came across this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
American Badass has put together a Eddie Guerrero tribute video which covers his entire career, showing why we all love Latino Heat so much. A big thanks to ABA for the video, which you can download by clicking HERE (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IBKZX2YI).

We can confirm Undertaker is on the Survivor Series Tour which began yesterday in Rome, Italy. Undertaker defeated Randy Orton and after the match kneeled in the ring looking at a banner dedicated to Eddie Guerrero. There are reports that Undertaker has grown a beard, which could be an indication towards a new look at Survivor Series. We will try to get some more information on this and keep you updated regarding Undertaker on the tour. A big thanks to Grendel for providing this information, which he kindly translated for us who can't speak Italian.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So it looks like The Undertaker is taking Eddie's place as SS.

[hb2k]

Is there anyway somebody could burn the new eddie tribute video from wwe.com featuring the song "Here Without You" and put it on yousendit or something please?

Thanks.

I hope this wasn't posted elsewhere, but Lance Storm has posted commentary on Eddie, giving his thoughts and comments on his only match with Eddie ever. As usual, it's an honest and very interesting and entertaining read:

Eddie
November 15, 2005

I really have no idea what I’m about to write; I just feel the need to write something. I, like everyone else, was stunned by the news of Eddie Guerrero’s death. One of my students left a voice mail message on my cell phone that I got Sunday morning when I woke up. It was not the way I wanted to start my day.

I didn’t actually know Eddie all that well. We had never gotten together outside of the arena and to be honest never really spoke much inside it, but despite that there was a bond between us, a closeness that had no reason for being. I don’t know if it was just his amazing sincerity or our mutual friends and respect for this business that made me feel closer to him than I really was. Every time I saw Eddie, I was greeted with genuine emotion and love I can’t explain. His face would light up and you just felt that he cared. This is a unique quality I’ve never seen in anyone else. Eddie had the ability to touch people inexplicably. Eddie was a guy I only worked once, never went out with, and as sad as this sounds I can’t recall a conversation between us that lasted more than a couple minutes, yet some how I always felt close to him. I felt a genuine love and connection to Eddie, which I can’t for the life of me explain. I guess he was just a special person that way, he loved people, and I for one felt that love and will always be grateful for it.

I first met Eddie in Japan when we both worked an interpromotional event called “The Sky Diving J” I opened the show that night and he closed it in the main event. He stole the show that night as he did so many nights, and from that day on I knew I wanted to work with Eddie Guerrero. It took almost 7 years for that match to come about, as our career paths never seemed to cross. We missed each other in ECW and WCW, and were almost exclusively on different brands in WWE.

Our one match was a strange one, which only a select few people got to see. It wasn’t on RAW or SmackDown, Velocity or Heat, nor PPV, it was at a house show in where else? Calgary…Alberta, Canada. It was a SmackDown house show and I was on RAW. RAW was on an overseas tour, which I was left off of. With me being a hometown boy and at home I was added to the event as a last minute special appearance. I was scheduled to do a Brother Love interview segment, but that was about to change.

I was sitting in the locker room in my street clothes, as the first match headed to the ring (my interview segment was going to be after the 7th or 8th match). Vince McMahon was doing house shows at that time with Zack Gowen, and he arrived at the building and decided to shake the card up a little. He walked up to me and says, “You know what match I’d pay to see tonight? … Lance Storm vs. Eddie Guerrero for the United States Title (Eddie was champ at the time). Let’s put that match on second.”

SECOND! I kid you not. The first match has already started and I’m sitting in the locker room in my street clothes. Thankfully I was taught to always be prepared and I had my gear in the car. I bolted to the parking lot to get my stuff while praying the first match goes a little long. Someone went to find Eddie to tell him his scheduled match had both been changed and bumped up. As I’m scrambling to get my gear on before my music plays Eddie walks into my locker room cool as can be. These aren’t the exact words but I bet there damn close,

“You and me tonight?”

“Yep” I replied

“Okay, since you’re from here, I’ll be the heel. (Eddie was technically a baby face at the time) When you’re done your comeback and hit all your false finishes go to give me a German, I’ll back kick you and hit you with the frog splash, okay?”

“Sure, whatever you want. That’s your music, I’ll see you out there.”

“You got it?”

“When I’m done, I’ll go for the German”

That was it; that was all we had. We had never stepped in the ring together before, and we were going to the ring with, “When I’m done I’ll go for a German.” I was still taping my wrists and putting on my elbow pads on the way to the ring, no warm up, no stretching, nothing. The match was far from perfect, more my fault than Eddie’s trust me, but it was far better than it had any right to be. He called the entire thing and we went likely 15-20 minutes. Arena reports from fans praised the match but I was never happy with it. I knew Eddie and I could have done better, I had wanted to work Eddie for years and knew we could have stole the show had we had the chance. I wanted to give both Eddie and the fans my best and I don’t feel that I did. I always hoped to have the chance to do that match right, but sadly now, we know that will never happen.

I’m not entirely sure why Vince put us on in such a tough spot. The office, at the time, was pushing to the younger guys the importance of being able to just go to the ring and work, and perhaps this was both a test for me, and a demonstration to the younger guys that it could be done. Either way Vince thanked me for the match and I think respected my ability to answer his challenge. Truth be told it wasn’t that much of a challenge, I was in the ring with Eddie Guerrero, it would have been much tougher to have a bad match.

You will be missed Eddie, you were a great person, and an unparalleled performer. I will miss our unexplained closeness, and I will miss watching you work. When wrestling is done right it is art, and Eddie, my friend you were an incredible artist.

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Eddie’s family, I cannot fathom the pain and loss you are experiencing, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lance Evers

My Thoughts... Eddie Guerrero
When I think of Eddie Guerrero, I remember a 17-year old running around backstage at the wrestling matches in El Paso, Texas in the mid-1980's. During my early years with The Von Erich's World Class Wrestling, Eddie's father Gory, co-promoted the events there. Eddie hadn't started his ring career as of yet, so he helped out where ever he could. This included bringing the boys jackets back to the dressing room from the ring, and running to the concession stand for us.

I smile as I recall one night when I was painted yellow by Matt Borne. Eddie pulled me aside as I was headed for the ring, and gave me the "heads up" on a rib that was being played on me.

He told me that my dear friend good 'ol Maniac Matthew Borne relieved himself in paint bucket that I was going to be doused with. Unfortunately, it was a bit too late for me to do anything about it. When I returned colored with several shades of yellow, Eddie was there to do what he could to help me clean up. I didn't see Eddie for several years after that, but we always recounted that night and laughed.

I am sincerely at a total loss for words. It is late on Tuesday night, and Eddie passed two days ago. I wanted to express my feelings since Sunday, but I just don't know what to say. I wish I had the vocabulary to completely explain how my heart is aching again at another loss of a brother and friend. There have been so many. The list goes on... and on... I find myself asking will there be another, and who will it be? Yes, there will be another.

The Bible tells us that when we are born, we are destined to die. I can't find any comfort recounting the names that have been etched on tombstones. What is it about this business that I have dedicated my entire adult life to? Why will we give up everything we own to pay to play the game? I don't have the answers.

Eddie Guerrero was a fine human being, who dearly loved the industry he was born into. He cherished his precious family. Now, we who remain cherish his memory.

God Bless.

Eddie Guerrero laid to rest
Nov. 18, 2005

Eddie Guerrero was laid to rest yesterday in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Eddie moved his family to Phoenix a few weeks ago so he could be closer to his mother and sister Linda. The private ceremony was presided over by family friend “Superstar” Billy Graham. Several current and former WWE Superstars were in attendance. Chris Jericho, John Layfield, Dean Malenko, Vince McMahon, Chris Benoit, Tom Pritchard and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. all spoke in remembrance of Eddie.

The highly emotional ceremony celebrated the life of Eddie Guerrero, remembering exactly how loving, caring and humble he was.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/funeral

I thought it was Wednesday that his funeral took place, and I also thought he would be laid to rest in El Paso.

[Funky Fly]

They probably moved it up to avoid large crowds gathering.

[Shawn Mega]

Don't forget to sign the petition,read some of what others had too say.

Eddie will never be forgotten.

Everytime I browse this forum and see this topic, part of me still is unwilling to accept it. Part of me still feels unreal.

[Loose Cannon]

Just watching the "When Worlds Collide" Match on the Eddie DVD and realized that all three members on Eddie's team are gone (Eddie, Barr and Spicolli)

[mrslackalack]

I noticed that as well, Wasnt that Barrs last match as well? (I know he passed away like 2 weeks after that match)

[Loose Cannon]

yea.

[mrslackalack]

Every fed WCW WWF ECW and Japan was wanting Eddie/Barr at the time.

[Blue Demon]

never really posted a true Eulogy type thing for him but here goes, A Poem:

My friends, if you chance to think of me,
And turning, find that I am not here
I am by your side, though you cannot see
So, smile for me, wipe away your tears
He who is loved is never truly gone
Nor one who has ever touched a heart
Some of me will always carry on
In memories of which I've been a part
Friendships like ours are precious and rare
Be thankful for the time that we shared
You know the good times outshone the bad
No matter how harsh the pain mayb be
Through passage of time the hurt will mend
Be happy in your hearts wit hthoughts of me
As memory recalls a loving freind.

[Corkscrewed]

Beautiful. :y: :y:

I know how you feel man. Even after all of the specials last week, it still doesn't seem like he's gone. It will probably hit me Sunday, since I'm going to Survivor Series. He's already been announced for the show, and when he doesn't show, I'll feel it then.
