Eddie Guerrero: 1976 - 2005 R.I.P

[Shot 21]

I dont know who here actually follows wrestling, but I do and it was a terrible thing to find out that Eddie Guerrero passed away Sunday morning. I mean he was only on Smackdown last Thursday! Its a fucking shame. He was a great wrestler who entertained people with the "I lie, I cheat, I steal" slogan. He beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE championship in one of the most unexpected matches EVER. He will always be remembered whether it was being a member of The Radicals with Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Chris Benoit, his friendship turned rivalry with Rey Mysterio or the legendary collection of low-riders that he would always ride down the ring in, Eddie will never be forgotten.

Those of you who dont like wrestling at all, dont hate. We lost a great man

Rest In Peace Viva La Raza. Your Spirit will live on.

This is coming from Vickie Guerrero, Eddies wife:

“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.”


This is choking me to read this. A mixture of over-exercising and the former drug / alcohol abuse. He amzingly sobered himself but it was too late. Let this be a message to drug and alcohol abusers.

R.I.P Latino Heat
