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...
