book it now: chavo wrestles in tights just like eddie's in a match on Raw.

I don't know what to say, and all I can say has already been said.
He will be missed by all.

RIP Eddie :(

Goodbye, Eddie.

just like in the Owen tribute show, all matches are voluntary for tonight's supershow taping.

eddie was 4 years sober this month. god. so unfair.

i have just told every1 on the www.runescape.com forums and one replied this.
" good, he was payed a hell of alot for nothing "

waht a fucking ass hole... for any1 who plays runescape his user is robb39

Extreme Angle, if thats all you can post, you are not needed on this thread.

Obviously there are asshole in the world... That's not what this thread is about.

I beleve someone has, but

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/vid...nf?section=%2F

Hot Damn, Chavo's composed.

we don't need that here. it's hard enough dealing with the news. we don't need to get more upset with people who don't care as much as well do, if at all.

You can tell he's trying his hardest not to totally break down.

I have a lump in my stomach right now.

I'm going to post my own eulogy (it's what little I can do) when I find a way to compose some words.


This is very late notice, but I hope Jericho, Malenko, and El Hijo de Santo can make it. Or be featured.

Rest in Peace, Eddie. My favorite wrestler, bar none. The best wrestler in the WWE. Perhaps the best wrestler ever.

Thank you for all the memories.

Yeah on another forum they locked a Eddie topic because they said there should only be on wrestling topic.

Yeah, that female reporter is really annoying with some of the dumbest standard journalism questions I've heard.

"How big of a loss is this?"

"How's his wife taking this?"

HOW DO YOU THINK?????

Is there any words from superstars that are close to him? Like Jericho and Benoit yet? like from there web sites?

she's blonde...

It seriously hurts to read about this... RIP Eddie. WWE will never be the same.

not yet. checked Jericho's and Storm's sites

I still can't get over this.

I'm going to order the Eddie Guerrero DVD at work this week.

But this woman is stupid.

Woman: How did his wife feel about this?

Chavo: Well...she was devastated.

Vince dsaid himself:

Chavo is the last Guerrero in WWE now. Please give him a push and get rid of the Kerwin White gimmick.

Eddie was by far my favourite wrestler.

RIP Eddie.

He will never be forgotten.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not reading the "spoilers" for the shows this week.

me neither.

I will I def can't wait.

i'm with you on that one KOOS

http://www.users.on.net/~jpride/Vide...ese_dreams.wmv

:(

is Raw being taped or something?

that video keeps stopping every 2 seconds on WWE.com :mad:

yes both Raw and Smackdown are being taped tonight.

I don't get how these guys can wrestle, I would break down, I have a lot of respect for them, doing it for Eddie.

Probably server overload.

how the hell is chavo and benoit going to perform tonight? my respect goes out to everyone of the guys in the back tonight. face, heel... shit... even masters will have my respect this week.

damb right...
i wodner if any ecw people will do anything...

most of the ecw guys that he fueded with are already in the wwe (outside of 2 cold scorpio). guys like dean, rey, & benoit (going back to their matches in japan) i would imagine, we will all see this week.

OH my god I had to see if this was true or not some friend on another site told me about this and I was like "Bull shit no way" But ever since I saw this thread I just can't get over it. Eddie Guererro dead? RIP Eddie. :'(

Holy fuck. I just woke up. OMG. This sucks.

R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero. You were one of the greats.

:'( :'( :'(

Good god. I wake up this morning, feeling good, feeling great. Then I see on here that Eddie has passed away. You can't take away someone who deserves it. You can't take away some rapist or serial killer, you take away one of my favorite and most respected wrestlers of all time.

Farewell, Eddie. I'll always remember how you entertained me each week.

http://www5f.biglobe.ne.jp/~galmania...guerrero01.jpg
R.I.P.

i just watched the press conference.. I can't believe how Chavo is taking it.
a new video is up on wwe.com, its depressing near the end.

RIP Eddie :(

Is there anyway to save videos from WWE.com?

I cannot play them in Firefox or Explorer. I want to see the press conference.

looks like Chavo is taking it terribly, everytime he speaks, he sounds like he's gonna break down.

My Eulogy to Eddie Guerrero
 

Posted this in the Eulogy thread, but I'm sure no one would mind if I posted it here as well.





'No, no, not this. This can't be true. This can't be right. No.'

It hit me immediately. The full brunt of the meaning, tragedy, and historical significance of this moment hit me like vicious haymaker straight into my gut. That sinking pit in my stomach, that feeling of absolute forlorne despair, focused in the deepest part of my body, that feeling which I had rarely ever felt. That was what anchored me down as I tried to process this information. As silly as it might sound, I hadn't felt this feeling of absolute shock and sadness since the Twin Towers came tumbling down in New York, four years ago.

My favorite wrestler in the world, my favorite wrestler ever, was dead. Taken from us in the blink of an eye... or in this case, the sweep of one toothbrush. One moment he was in the prime of his life, full of vigor and vitality. And the next moment, he is looking down upon us all with the same vitality, only one lifetime removed, swept among the ethereal glow of the angels who have greeted him.

This is something I will never forget. "Where were you when you found out Eddie Guerrero died?" I was in my USC apartment. Nothing special. But that doesn't lessen the memory, or the pain.

How can someone I've never met affect me like so? Some might think this to be silly. "He was only a wrestler." Indeed, it's not like he was the President of the United States, or even a mainstream celebrity. "He competed in something scripted... dare I say, fake." And indeed, professional wrestling is not looked at as a most respectable sport by mainstream society. "You're being silly, getting so worked up for a wrestler."

No I'm not.

Eddie was not only a great wrestler, he was a great MAN. He was by no means perfect. Certainly, in his youth, his addiction to drugs and alchohol led to the spiral that nearly resulted in his death. He led a life of vice and abuse. He was not an angel for his entire life.

And yet, he found redemption. He found resolution. He found... himself. As admirable as a saint may be, a person who has sunken to the lowest depths of immorality and returned to genuinely gain penance and truly change himself for the better may be even more admirable. And that was Eddie.

Four years. He had been sober for just a little over four years. And in that four years, he had established a tremendous comeback, going from losing his job and nearly his family to being the greatest champion in the greatest federation of his sport. To fullfilling his lifelong dream. And in four years, he might very well have been on his way to a second tour of duty at the top.

Eddie was a true five star wrestler. He could work any match with any man and make it look like a million bucks. He could fly with the luchadores, tackle the grapplers, weave the underdog story against the hosses, work the mic like no other, and entrap you with his charisma. He was an beloved babyface character. He was a despicable heel character. He was a consumate ace in every aspect of wrestling.

But even the greatest wrestlers have their demons, and what is most remarkable, above all else, was that he was able to overcome them. That will gain my respect anyday. He recognized his vices. He defeated them. He became a living success story to any person battling addiction.

And now his death will become a testimony both to the ravages of addiction and the triumph of overcoming them. After all, in the short four years that he was sober, he was able to accomplish so much. So indellibly much.

Though this is personal speculation, the coroner will probably find the result to be heart failure as a result of a combination of past damage from drugs and alcohol and from possible steroid use. And that's a shame, but perhaps we can learn from this, if it indeed is the issue.

But this isn't about drugs. Or alcohol. Or any number of bad things he might have done. This is about Eddie. A human being who fell from glory but was able to climb back. He was a precocious boy and a great man, an example of how to conduct oneself both as a wrestler and as a person.

I will remember him, not for his vices, but for his victory over his vices. I will remember him for his amazing matches. His priceless promos. His colorful persona. His love and devotion to his family. His quiet, honorable nature. His passion for life.

My heart goes out to his wife, Vickie, as well as his three daughters, Shaul, Sherylin, and Katie Marie, and his mother. No parent should have to outlive his or her child. My sympathies to the Guerrero family, and to Eddie's friends.

The wrestling world has lost a shining star, a legend, and a great man.

We lost a great one today. And also one of my favorites.

I still can't believe it, just like everyone can't either like it was some twisted joke. From someone who is latino myself, someone like Eddie was great to have as he had the talent, he had the heart, hell, he had it all and I find that as an inspiration as Latino myself that there is a great talent like him. He went through hell and came back, you know the story, and became the champ. Eddie, was true greatness and as tired as the saying goes, it's the truth: there will be only one Eddie Guerrero. And for all that he has done, I will miss him greatly.

My thoughts and prayers go to his family, his friends, to anyone who knew him. Here's my picture tribute...

http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/9015/eddie017ed.jpg

a friend of mine that goes to the University of Minnesota just called me and is going to the supershow tonight. i have never been more envious of anyone in my life.

my god corkscrewed... :'(

that was amazing.

Brought a tear to my eye Cockscrewed.

god help me sleep 2night...

RIP Eddie

My goodbye:

Even the closest to you never saw it coming
Deep emotion swells in us all
Devistated by losing such a great man
Inspiration is one thing you will a symbol for
Excitement was one thing you brought to us

Giving everything you had to your audience
Understanding why you were put on this earth
Entertainment was deep in your blood
Rejoiced, we feel to have known you
Rewarded, we feel to have watched you perform
Even though you may not be with us now
Remembered will be your grace, tenacity, and talent
Overwhelmed we may be but also happy that you can now main event in heaven.

I tried to sum up my feelings, but everytime I went to type I couldn't, No words can discribe how I feel right now.

:'(

I need to go buy some video tapes today to tape RAW tomorrow night and SmackDOWN on Friday.

i just rewatched the eddie/mr. kennedy match from friday.

the last images we have of eddie is that of the crowd giving him a huge "eddie! eddie!" chant while being helped up by the refs along with a quick (but funny) eddie/dave backstage spot.

we are left watching eddie's last match that included his classic "chair shot" win. only he could pull that off so easily.

i almost wish we could see chavo win that way this week. to do it the way "uncle eddie" would. that would be a great way for him to tribute his "little trooper".

the great thing about eddie was that if he came to the ring one night and on the mic claimed he was black and was going to rap battle cena..... we would all eat it up and believe it. he was that good.

Denial is strongest here because Eddie wasn't just a current wrestler, but an incredibly vibrant man. He was bouncing and energetic in almost all instances, so it's shocking. We expect old people to die. Not to say he should die, but if Flair passed away, people would say it was his time. Same's true with Hogan, and both are still active wrestlers. Not saying we wouldn't mourn them, I'm just saying it's easier to believe.

Eddie was so alive, it's impossible to accept him as anything else. The guy worked his matches like a total professional. His energy is a large part of what endeared him to the fans, even as a heel. Come on, the man cut a promo with no words...Just a Mysterio mask.

However, sometimes you could see it in his eyes, a single look, an age and fatigue beyond his years. We know he wrestled with his own personal demons, and that took a toll on him.

I can only hope that he's at peace now.

Beautifully said. :y: :y:

I'm absouletly shocked. I've always loved Eddie's matches.
Eddie was cetainly one of a kind and has left a hole in the WWE that not many wrestlers can fill.
His promos were so emotional, his matches were so entertaining. He certainly had all the characteristics of an amazing wrestler.
He worked so hard to get to the position he reached in WWE that at least we can say he accomplished his dreams before he passed away.
You will be missed Eddie.

Yknow, a little over a year ago my dad passed away. Me and him never really had alot of interests in common, but he would try. I remember he would bring me home RAW and Smackdown! mags. But this biggest thing, i remember when the Eddie Guerrero story showed on UPN. He watched it and came up to me the next day and said 'hey, that Eddie Guerrero guy, he went through alot of sh*t man, hes a strong guy.' i laughed and i remember telling him 'so did you dad, alot of smililar things'. And we laughed, and he watched wrestling with me for about 2 months and ALWAYS marked out when Eddie came out with the low rider and stuff. My dad could connect with him, because they both went through drug problems, they were both hispanic, and Eddie carried not just the hispanic heritage with pride, but the CHICANO heritage, the low riders, the slang, the attitude. After my dad passed away in a car accident, anytime i saw Eddie on WWE programing, i smiled because he reminded me so much of my dad and i could just picture my dad smiling and going 'alright, he about to kick someones ass, who is that bald guy? (it was Kurt Angle lol)'. Maybe thats why this loss of a great man has hit me pretty hard. All i know is, now my dad will get to shake his hand up in heaven. RIP Eddie Guerrero, RIP David Alvarado...

A friend of mine was going to meet "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan today, and he heard people talking about Eddie, so he called me for info. And unfortunately this is no joke. I just still couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the headline on WWE.com. I was looking forward to seeing him at Survivor Series, but no longer. What a sad, sad day.

RIP Eddie

I will miss seeing your amazing athletism, your unique style and your enigmatic charisma. Wrestling is now mourning the loss of one of the greatest ever.

god this sucks...

RIP Eddie... I have no words to describe how I feel.

No one chooses when they get to go, they go when God calls them. I just wish he hadn't been called so soon. R.I.P. Eddie Guerrero, it was your time.

Got the call at work, couldn't believe it when I heard... read it as soon as I got home. Eddie may you rest in peace... I am truly saddened by your loss, as everyone here is...

http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7020/eddie2ga.jpg

:heart:

Does anyone know where to send a card to his family? As much as I enjoyed watching him in the ring, it's the least I could do in this situation.

RIP Eddie

You were one of the greats, always will be

I was on earlier and couldn't believe it. This has just killed my whole day. I couldn't even speak or type after watching that conference and those beautiful tributes. I was gonna call my brothers and tell them, but I lost my voice for a while.

I don't even know what to say. Eddie was my favourite current wrestler in the WWE, and now he's gone. I never got to see him live, like I did with Owen, but that same distractedness and empty feeling has been with me all day. I actually cried during that first tribute video.

Wow.

RIP Eddie.

My friend gave me a call while I was in the mall with a friend of mine, and by the tone of his voice I knew he wasn't kidding, and I just could not believe it and started to tear up. When I got home I looked right away on WWE.com, and it was true.

Eddie you are one of the all-time great wrestlers, and you will be truly missed by everyone. May God rest your soul, Eddie. Rest in Peace :(

R.I.P Eddie :'( :'(

I don't stop by the Wrestling Forum anymore since I haven't had access to cable TV since my parents moved, but I heard about this through a number of posters on this site and felt that I should pay my respects.

Eddie Guerrero was an incredibly gifted athlete and professional wrestler. Sure, he had his demons, but don't we all. I spent countless hours as a young adolescent watching Eddie fly about the ring with the grace of a swan, and the brutality of a bull to the face, and was mesmerised every second. He was a great wrestler, and a magnificent entertainer.

R.I.P Eddie. You will be sorely missed. :'(

I'm not sure if anyone else had the same thing happen to them, but I found it a little disturbing that a "Land of the Dead" ad appeared on the WWE site right before the page..

I don't watch wrestling anymore these days, but I always enjoyed Eddie's performances, particularly with ECW and WCW. Very sad to hear him gone so young.

RIP.

Bye Eddie, I will miss you.

R.I.P

Goodness, I'm still in an awkward mental state.

As retarded as this sounds, I honestly wish this was all some sort of mistake or something. Like he's not REALLY dead. Or like he'll be lying there and suddenly he's revived or something.

I know, I'm blabbering.... but this is probably the only case where I'd totally mark out if, say at the funeral, he jumps out of the coffin and announces to the astonished crowd, "Oh yeah... I DO LIE!!!!" :D

That sounds sadistic, but the alternative is so much worse. Yes, I'm selfish.

Hopefully, the WWE can set up some sort of trust fund, like if you buy Eddie Guerrero merchanise, the profits go to his family.

Gosh, I can't even begin to imagine how his wife must feel right now. :wavesad:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/cmpunk/


CM Punk has posted a brief entry on his live journal.

I feel like crying you guys. :'( And I never even met him.

OMG I am shocked :(

I just woke up from a nap and was looking up NFL scores when i saw a headline at the bottom of a page on FoxSports.com about a WWE wrestler passing away. Then I saw it was Eddie. :'( R.I.P. Latino Heat

One of my favorite wrestlers of all time, RIP Eddie :(. Now we'll never get to see the dream match of Eddie vs Shawn Michaels :(

I just learned it two minutes ago. It's really disturbing me. I know that he will be missed by a lot of people.

RIP Eddie.

I am in a state of complete shock. I don't know what to do . Even though I have never met him, I feel like I have lost a family member. Same way with Pillman, Owen, etc. These guys are like real-life superheros to me. And to see him go, its....its like IDK how to describe it. I will never get to see Eddie perform again. EVER. And that hurts.

Do you know how hard it was for me to break the news to my grandfather? Even he teared up a little. I just felt like sitting there, my mind was numb. It still kinda is. I feel like crying. Seeing these men, who play such strong characters, break down and show how much they love each other, it gets to me. Where do we go from here? I can't imagine Smackdown without Eddie, just like I couldnt imagine it without Owen.

Eddie was probably one of my favorite wrestlers right now. I feel such a sickning feeling in my stomach. He's gone. He's really gone. Goodbye Eddie. Thank you for everything.

Best Moment Ever. :) :y:

Stunned.

RIP Eddie.

Wow. When I read the news at 7 PM, I was in shock. I thought it really was some sick joke, but I guess not.

Eddie, so long, and thanks for all the memories. Truly a great wrestler, you will be sorely missed.

God I went from really happy to really sad I feel like crying after reading this entire thread RIP Eddie

This still sucks

I was in shock after reading the news. But Eddie is at rest with the Lord now.

Praying for his family and friends during this time of grief.

Numb. Just completely numb.

The wrestling world has truly lost one of it's legends today. Goodbye Eddie, you will be greatly missed.

R.I.P Latino Heat

Always entertained me in and out of the ring and put a smile on my face whenever he smiled.

RIP Eddie Guerrero

as much as I friggen LOVE Kerwin White, I hope they change him back to Chavo.

This was posted by roh owner, Gabe Sapolsky

"I've been sitting here all night trying to get some words out. Eddie Guerrero was the perfect name for us to book when we started ROH. He's been a major influence on everyone that has ever stepped in a ROH ring. He defined and innovated the style you see today in ROH. When we started ROH and he was available we knew he was the perfect guy to get ROH attention and set the vibe of the company.

I'm not going to act like I knew Eddie well or that he would even know who I am today, but he was a pleasure to work with. He always treated everyone with respect in his soft-spoken, humble, classy way. If I'm able to get the words out maybe I'll write more later.

Eddie Guerrero will be missed by everyone who knew him, everyone who simply crossed paths with him and all those that had the opportunity to see him wrestle. Eddie will never be forgotten.

This Saturday's show will be dedicated to Eddie Guerrero."

i wish i could just wake up.. =[

god. he will be fucking missed.

I still can't beleive it

This is from the Blue Meanie's blog on Myspace.

God Speed Eddie Guerrero!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../rip_eddie.jpg



It’s always the ones you DON’T expect to die are the ones who always go too soon and Eddie Guerrero is a prime example of someone who we were robbed of today. I didn’t know Eddie that well but it the time I did get to meet him he exuded everything in which this business SHOULD be about. Honor, class and something Eddie had earned from anyone who ever met him and that is RESPECT.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = O /><O:P></O:P>
They say that eyes are the windows to a person’s soul. Well, when I looked in Eddie’s eye I saw passion. Passion for his business and the passion he had for his family when he brought them to the shows. My DEEPEST condolences go out to the Guerrero family and they all will be in my thoughts. GODSPEED EDDIE!!

I held it in at work, and I was alright.
I held in in talking to a friend in the parking lot who I haven't seen in a while.
I broke down the moment I got in my car.:'(
Good-bye Eddie, you will be missed

:wavesad:

I am at a total loss of words. I am deeply saddened and shocked by the death of Eddie Guerrero.

RIP Eddie. You will forever be missed

You're the man Eddie.
 

I don't really have much of a conscience.......as some of you who may know me cyberally may have figured out......but I can honestly say that the news of Eddie's passing away sent chills down my spine.

I'm not going to lie and say something like, "Eddie was my favorite wrestler ever!" or "I've been crying all day!" or anything like that, but I do want to take this to simply say, "thank-you."


Instead of mourning the death of such a great wrestler (and human being) in Eddie Guerrero, I'd like to thank him for all of the wonderful memories that he provided me.


-The Lie, cheat, and steal skits with Chavo
-His unbelievable matches with Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle, Edge, and many others.
-His Wrestlemania celebration with Chris Benoit
-His 'mamacita' skits with Chyna

And many more....


Other than that, I don't have too much more to say.


I'm glad that most of (or all) of Tpww have responded well to this, and continue to focus on the positives of Eddie Guerrero's life.......and the many wonderful experiences that we remember of him.



God Bless Eddie Guerrero.


May you rest in peace.



:y:

Christ.

Not much could bring me back to TPWW, but I am sad to say that this is something that did (this is Vega...forgot my pass but I knew the pass to my friend's account).

Tragic. I haven't watched wrestling for months but I still enjoy it, and I remember the days when Eddie was the highlight of the night and the real reason to even watch the show. It will be hard for the WWE to recover from this, Eddie is one of the best wrestlers of all time. Tragic that it happened the day he was set to win the title as well, reminds me of the Owen Hart incident in that respect. Terrible, Terrible day for wrestling. He was so young too, feel so bad for his family. He will be sorely missed.

Rest In Peace.

I admit I cried when I found out and tried to tell someone else about it :$ :'(
Gonna miss him more than I miss any other wrestler or other public figure.

A website that I think is Chavos official site (http://www.kerwin-white.com or the site also goes by www.chavo-guerrero.com) has a Book of Condolence which will be passed onto the Guerrero Family.
Book: http://www.latin-spirit.org/guestbook/gbook.php

wow, you know something is big when Heyman comes out of retirement.

I'm really just in a state of shock still. RIP Eddie

Terrible, terrible news. Easily one of my favorite wrestlers, and the industry will not be the same without him. It's always tragic when some one dies, but this is really heartbreaking. I never knew him personally, all I can do is reflect on the memories he has given us in the ring. Rest in peace Eddie.
