One shouldn't feel so connected to someone that you only see on the tv once a week, but he's a human being and I am so sorry for his family.

Froma an athletic/entertainment standpoint, he was an exceptional worker, master of psycology.
And last I heard, he was a good person (and that's more important than athletics and entertainment).
Rest in Peace, Eddie. God bless you, and may He have mercy on your soul and that of your family.
St. Sebastian Patron Saint of Athletes, pray for him.

It was just reported on WCCO's morning news that the Hennepin County medical examiner is in the hotel. I'm hoping that's just to confirm that he died in his sleep, as opposed to some of the other things I don't even want to think about. | Bob C

Whether he was off/on the wagon may have been irrelevant at the time of death; his heart had to have been weakened from years of that deadly combo.

Just awful, awful news.
Weren't they taping both Raw and Smackdown in Minneapolis tonight? How do you go on with the show after this? I never met the man, but feel (like another gentleman put it earlier) like a mack truck has hit me.
RIP, Eddie. God Bless you and keep you. | SKLOKAZOID

| #17 Posted on 13.11.05 1101.46 Reposted on: 13.11.12 1103.56 | Man, not as a disrespect to the other wrestlers in the past who passed away, but this has to be the one wrestling death that just . . . really topples me right now. Its giving me a range of emotions. I'm saddened, I'm pissed off, and just plain old upset that this happened. Eddie Guerrero is one of my favorite wrestlers and surely I thought this Friday he might've won the title off an injured Batista.
And there is so much to feel saddened and upset about as a Guerrero fan. First off, the main part and the most devasting part, is that after all the struggles he went through to overcome so many issues, and to pass away like so many other tragic wrestler stories is just heartbreaking. I really hope, as someone said that he at least died in his sleep. I think if anything, this man deserved to pass away peacefully.
And least important but also on my mind is that this guy deserved another title. And I really thought his time was coming again. His first title run was way too short, and felt this might be the one where he really gets to carry it for a bit. And then to see him in an angle with another wrestler I liked, Batista, it was awesome. I loved that angle. I just . . . I'm sorry for such a rambling post, but this really has hit me. Man.
Eddie, R.I.P. | OMEGA

My god, I can not even believe this. It hasn't fully sunk in yet. I really have nothing good to say, as I'm in a state of shock. I just watched his DVD last night, laughing as he related childhood stories and visiting Chico's Tacos. Now, I wake up and read this.
RIP, Eddie. | darkmatcher

| #19 Posted on 13.11.05 1102.31 Reposted on: 13.11.12 1107.56 | So freakin' surreal. I'm kicking myself for having ignored Smackdown for the past several weeks, realizing how I was taking his magnificent talent for granted. Yet going back and watching him now would just make this that much more unbearable. He was taken way too soon, and just after he'd gotten his life back together. Just awful.
My condolences go out to his family and friends, for whom I couldn't imagine how much harder this is to deal with.
Make sure to give him the tribute he deserves, WWE.

Thanks for the memories, Mr. Guerrero. RIP. |
