Professional wrestler Eddie Guerrero joins the list of wrestling stars who have died under mysterious circumstances at relatively young ages. Guerrero was found dead in a Minneapolis hotel room Sunday morning, just hours before a sold out WWE match he was scheduled to perform at was to occur.
The Sunday evening show was being revamped as a tribute to Guerrero, and will air Monday evening. His nephew, fellow WWE wrestler Chavo Guerrero, traveled with him to Minneapolis and found him in his room Sunday morning after Guerrero missed a wakeup call. Guerrero had just celebrated his fourth anniversary of sobriety from drug and alcohol addictions that nearly ended his professional career and marriage.
Video of a press conference featuring Vince McMahon and Chavo Guerrero can be seen here.
The list of deceased stars from the golden era of the WWE (known at the time as the WWF) and other regional wrestling promotions is a very long list, and features some well known names. Names such as:
- Curt “Mr. Perfect” Henning
Rick Rude
Terry Gordy.
Davey Boy Smith
Brian Pillman
Hercules Hernandez
Road Warrior Hawk
Owen Hart
Miss Elizabeth
The Big Boss Man
Crash Holly
The Von Erich’s (Kerry, Mike, David, and Chris)
Junkyard Dog
Big John Studd
Andre The Giant
And hundreds more. Of those, only Owen Hart died in the ring. The rest typically died of sudden heart attack or drug overdoses. It might be scripted entertainment in the ring, but outside the ring a high death rate lingers behind their time in the ring.
fuckin said I say again Jesus Christ God Bless Eddy and his family for such a loss of a great human being and for all the others that have died sid viscious and so on horriable fuckin horriable sorry for language just upset
Ok the freakin loser who said i won’t miss eddie i have one sentence…” WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Eddie Guerro was a great man and wrestler, sure he made some mistakes in the past but he got better so you need to just re think why you hate eddie.
R.I.P eddie we miss you
i can’t say anything……………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Im very saddened by the news of the passing of Eddie Guerrero. Eddie was my favourite superstar and loved the way he drove into the ring with his lowrider and the way he smiles. He realy stole the show night in and out, and realy stole our hearts when he performed. I cried when i went on the WWE website and saw what happened and i still think about Eddie before i sleep.
Thank You Eddie. You’ll always Remain in my heart.

This is what one guy rote on the internet that eddie is still alive.
He’s alive. I saw him at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Wisconsin last week. He’ll be making a run-in during the main event of Wrestlemania 23 and this will lead to a feud with the Undertaker over the rights to be called “The Dead Man of the WWE”. Naturally, this will lead to a casket match at Summerslam 2007. Eddie will win and set the casket on fire, killing the Undertaker forever but of course he will rise from the dead at Royal Rumble 2008 and cost Eddie the World Championship. Then he’ll challenge Eddie to a Buried Alive match at Wrestlemania 24. Taker will win the match to make him 16-0 at Wrestlemania and Eddie will be buried forever. Then he will really be dead.
And this is another eddie still alive romur you must read the hole thing to beliv it.

eddie is alive he will return how can he be dead, if he really was dead the wwe wouldnt have disrespected him so much after they annouced he had died… and why is his book called cheating life, why wasnt the family of eddie upset as much as much as they shouldve been. and getting bak to the main point if he was dead then why did they wwe bag him out so much on his funneral…
if he really is dead then the wwe should be shot cause they misstreated eddie at his funeral. JOHN CENA ROCKS THE CHAMP IS STILL HERE
firstly i just wanna 2 every1 KEEP EDDIE’S SOUL ALIVE!! even though he’s not a part of our family but we have gained, learned and inherited a part of him and its up for us the fans to keep his soul alive.
i seriously dont want to forget him but im tryong my hardest to watch his clips every single day so i can go out n represent.
Months gone by but i remain his fan, no matter if he departed to be with the KINGS OF KINGS, i still love the man n everyday i think of him n before i go to sleep i call his name. what im feeling isnt nothing to the 5 women he left behind- suy madre, su mujer y las 3hijas. eversince he left i got a big problem with god, leaving 5women thats just plain cruel and a global family is not cool.
everyday i ask this question…..y him? da good dies young, i lost a big part of myself, he was my motivator, inspiration my papi y i dont have a father to play the role.
now im here writing this while bursting in tears & i have a confession….. i was thinking of killing myself…its like a disease it never goes away the thought.
if i could have 1 sacred wish it would be to take me instead of him…y, i aint got nothing 2 live 4, without him.
my life was bad while eddie was around but when he left it turned into a personal inferno… all i want is a record deal so i could represent him all the time.
i dont want to use his name as a gimmick to sell records i just want the world to know how big of a fan i am . and i wish to generate money for his family because i got alot of ideas for his merchandises, i dont want the money, if you could feel the loyalty i want to this and i dont care about the money. i just want 20% so i could go to mexico and volunteer my services and with the 20% would be used for resources eg. food, schools and clothes, community development in mexico.
whoever read this…remember he was a humble guy and all i wanna do is help.
VIVA LA RAZA. y guerrero tus amigos sienten tu falta mas no como tu familia y yo. ORALE papi. ajuda me.

Poor eddie

I was shocked when i heard the news about Eddie’s death my thoughts and heart go out to his family and friends. Rest In Peace Eddie long may you live in the memories and hearts of us all
i know its been half a year since eddie died but i still miss him…i think he helped rey to win the world heavyweight championship coz he was doing it 4 eddie…my little brother is a massive fan of eddie and was very upset to know he had died.
If anyone has sumthing bad to say about him then why say it..why make yourself look pathetic to so many other people.If u cant say anything nice..dont say anything at all!!!!!
Eddie u are greatly missed by me,my brother,ur fans,ur family and rey mysterio.
LIE,CHEAT AND STEAL….VIVA LA RAZA

Eddie was one of the most popular atheletes in the WWE. Its a pity all the good ones have to leave.
Drugs consumed by wrestlers should be checked, and make sure they’re not over doing it. This is what happens to such gifted people.
I REALLY HOPE PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED FROM THIS LESSON!!
WE MISS U EDDIE
RIP
eddie we miss you
Rest
In
peace
