Eddie Guerrero from WWE Died

Weirdo · 11-15-2005, 12:00 AM

When World Wrestling Entertainment superstar Eddie Guerrero didn't answer his wakeup call Sunday and didn't respond to a knock on his Minneapolis hotel room door, his nephew and security forced their way in. They found the 5-foot-8, 220-pound wrestler on the floor.

Efforts to resuscitate the 38-year-old weren't successful and the WWE was suddenly faced with finding the delicate balance between continuing with Sunday's show at Target Center while paying tribute to one of its biggest attractions.

"This is a huge loss," said WWE chairman Vince McMahon. "Eddie was a wonderful, fun-loving human being. Eddie was a consummate performer."

His nephew and fellow WWE wrestler, Chavo Guerrero, said he found his uncle dead shortly after 7 a.m. in his room at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.

Police said there were no signs of foul play or indications of suicide.

Chavo Guerrero said everything with his uncle had seemed just fine.

The flight from Phoenix to Minneapolis Saturday. The post-flight dinner. The last time they talked they made plans to order breakfast and then hit the gym Sunday morning. Instead, Chavo Guerrero spent the morning breaking the news to relatives and preparing for his own match Sunday night.

"I know Eddie would want the show to go on," he said.

The Target Center event was tastefully subdued, with many of the wrestlers offering taped or live tributes. Several imitated his signature moves and mannerisms, including his celebratory strutting and his frog-splash leap onto an opponent.

Crowd members chanted "Eddie" and remained silent as the ringside bell was rung 10 times, said Wade Keller, publisher and editor of Minneapolis-based www.pwtorch.com and Pro Wrestling Torch, a weekly newsletter.

Chavo Guerrero said his uncle was candid about his past drug and alcohol abuse; he recently reached four years of sobriety. Whether or not his former drug use played a role in his death is unknown; the Hennepin County medical examiner's office said the cause of death might not be known for several weeks.

"With Eddie's history... that no doubt takes a toll on your body, and whether that had anything to do with his untimely demise, I don't know," McMahon said.

Guerrero was in the Twin Cities to film "Friday Night Smackdown" for the UPN Network. About 60 to 80 WWE wrestlers were in town for the show, which included filming for "Monday Night RAW" on the USA channel.

Red-eyed and somber at a news conference, Chavo Guerrero and McMahon said there would be special tributes to Guerrero at both tapings. "It's been devastating," McMahon said.

Wow. Just wow. This is hard to imagine. Eddie Guerrero was a top physical specimen. He boasted only 3% body fat. I used to love watching Eddie Guerrero back in his WCW days. Rest in peace, Eddie. You will certainly be missed.

Weirdo · 11-15-2005, 12:09 AM

I Know. I know. Its so shocking. He just died out of the blue.

I really hope they'll find out what was wrong with him.

I will pray for his family.

I already know about it- my mom nofited my family sunday mid-morning- only people in minnesota got news first because words spread like wildfire since he died in Minneapolis. Unfortently, my friend's mom works at that hotel where Eddie died, and I will ask him about how his mom reacts, everything.

My brother and his friend went to WWE match sunday night which was held at Target Center, few blocks down from the hotel where Eddie died at- said lots of people was in sad mood. Last night I watched with my brothers on WWE, it was very interesting- most of wrestelers wore black armband with "EG" on it in memory of Eddie.

Rest in Peace, Eddie...

I found out about this a couple days ago. I was shocked about this. Wow!

May he rest in peace.

HiBluE01 · 11-15-2005, 11:24 PM

I heard that on tv news that WWF Eddie died. May he rests in peace!

racheleggert · 11-15-2005, 11:30 PM

update- his wife spoke with a media source in MN- Eddie died of heart failaure. The past drug, achocal problem plus hard workout may contributed to his death. I can't believe that he would end up died like 30 minutes away from where I live. That is strange that my friend's mom work at that hotel... My friend told me that many celebrties stay at that hotel such as Brett Farve, Green Bay Packer team, Kevin Garrentt, some movie stars, Jessica Simpson, few others..
