![]() He was also so humble and a true family man and most importantly a warrior for God. He was as talented as they come and a true class act. My best match of 1997 was against Ed at Fall Brawl that year. All four of us started the same way and had the same love and respect for the business, for Brian and for each was a magical night. One of my most cherished matches was myself and Eddy vs Chris and Dean in Knoxville, on a benefit show for our dear friend Brian Hildebrand. ![]() But there was a chemistry there that existed becuase we had mutual respect for each other and we both loved what we were doing. One of my favorite times in my career was when Eddy and I were an underutilized, underpushed, hell, almost non-exisitant tagteam, that were thrown together randomly in WCW. I had the pleasure of meeting Eddy in Mexico City almost 14 years ago and we've been close ever since (although it didn't start that way!) He is one of my favorite people that I've ever met in the wrestling business, as well one of the greatest performers I've ever seen and had the pleasure to work with. I've lost alot of friends over the years but this one hurts the most by far. ![]() I am devastated by the news of Eddy's passing and I am so sad. The guy is a living breathing example of when not to lower your expectations, for he may very well surpass them from his previous track record. I despise the way WWE works sometimes, but Eddie bounced back from the pressure of main eventing in 2004, and came right back, he will always be remembered as someone who cheated death, and stole not only life, but also the notion of underestimation. F*ck you Cena, f*ck you bookers, instead of slapping the belts on three move wonders, why not take advantage of something and someone who deserves it before its' too late? I always criticised his feud with Rey Mysterio (primarily because I despise Mysterio), but in all fairness, that feud reinvigorated much of SMACKDOWN for me, and I now prefer it over RAW, now nothing more than a dumping ground for the Mcmahons and jobber fodder for the prick holding the championship presently. He set the standard for main eventers of his kind, and he could never truly stay heel for long, when he was heel, he made you beleive it. After beating his demons, winning the biggest symbol of drug addiction defiance (the WWE Championship), Eddie dies the way noone wanted him to back when he had his problems, alone in a hotel room.Įddie was one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, one of the true innvoators, and the first hispanic wrestler to become world champion in an american promotion. But an eventual move to WWF/WWE made him a household name.This is just.sickening. He got his start in Mexico and Japan in the 1990s, and stints with ECW and WCW followed. As the son of Lucha Libre pioneer Gory Guerrero, and the father of professional wrestler Shaul Guerrero, Eddie-otherwise known as Latino Heat-was by far the most famous member in a rather large wrestling family. Eddie Guerrero Was A Famous Wrestler In The 1990s And Early 2000sĮddie Guerrero was born to rumble in the ring. Let’s sift through the rumors and get the final word on Eddie Guerrero’s cause of death. With 2021 marking the 16th anniversary of Eddie Guerrero’s death date, we are taking a look back at his career and health.
