Eddie Guerrero Passes Away At Age 38
I am very saddened to announce that Eddie Guerrero has passed away. The former WWE Champion was only 38 years old.
Eddie was scheduled to wrestle the injured World Heavyweight Champion Batista and Randy Orton in a triple threat match for the title at tonight’s SmackDown! tapings. The match was put together as a way to take the title off Batista, who will be having surgery very soon. Guererro was heavily favored to win the title this evening.
We offer our condolences to the Guererro family and anybody who knew the brilliant young performer.
Eddie Guerrero had breakfast this morning with Chavo Guerrero and at least one other wrestler, then returned to his hotel room. When he didn't come out of his room in the expected amount of time, friends went looking for him and found him dead.
Guerrero has a long history of battling pain pill addiction, a struggle that was chronicled in a UPN special last year which is now on DVD. There is no firm confirmation, though, at this time, that his death was related to his lifelong battle.
The following is the statement from WWE.com:
Eddie Guerrero passes away
Nov. 13, 2005
WWE is deeply saddened by the news that Eddie Guerrero has passed away. He was found dead this morning in his hotel room in Minneapolis. Eddie is survived by his wife Vickie and his two daughters
Anyone who watched WCW ECW or WWE/F Over the last few years would know this guy put his body on the line 3 or 4 times a week doing things that most of us wouldn't be able to do, At only 38 I'm personally shocked however, only watched him on smackdown friday night :(
RIP |

me, fundamental, tta & blatantly cannibal & Hulk hogan from the forums ;)
seriously tho, if you don't like it, don't pull the 'its fake' thing, we all know this, and still watch (been watching it since i was about 5 years old) but that doesn't mean we're not able to pay respect to a guy who did as much for us as some musicians do for other people |

| Being a professional wrestler seems to be more dangerous than being a soldier in Bagdad. Andre The Giant, Mr. Perfect, "Elizabeth", Owen Heart, Yokozuna and the list goes on. What the hell is going on there? RIP... |

this is sad news to hear.
he was a great entertainer on and off the ring.
i wouldn't be surprised if roids/illegal supplements/other drugs lead to his death... i remember how skinny he was back in the late 90s during the wcw/wwf feuds, and he was with wcw and the whole latino/spanish/mexican wrestling gang .. he went to wwf, and he got hurt .. was out for a good time, and then when he came back, he was huge .. i was like wtf ... he just jumped from cruiserweight to heavyweight ..
i guess you gotta do what you gotta do to stay in the business .. wrestling is a tough business .. gotta sell those bumps .. :( |
