here's some good reading ...
link here
a small commentary on the documentary of eddie guerrero aired last year .. i don't watch wrestling much, so i missed this documentary .. after reading the article, i am like wow ..
brian pillman references all the way here ... :nervous: ..
if people forgot who brian pillman was, he was aka flyin' brian, former tag team partner with steve austin (stone cold) back in the day .. he was found dead in his hotel room the night of a PPV match .. they say it was a drug overdose, but i can't find the exact cause of death . i heard he shot himself russian roulette style, but that was a rumor . |

Oh no. I didn't know Big Boss Man, Chris Candido and Lord Alfred Hayes died, too. :( Gorilla Monsoon also passed away a few years ago. That death hit me the hardest. He was my favorite commentator. The way he and Bobby Heenan used to argue always made wrestling fun to watch...and hear.

Eddie Guerrero was found in his hotel room in Minneapolis with his toothbrush in his mouth. He apparently died while brushing his teeth. At this point, the belief among WWE personnel is that Guerrero died of heart failure.
Shortly after Guerrero's body was found and removed from the room, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Dean Malenko and Chavo Guerrero visited the hotel room to say their goodbyes. WWE wrestlers and staffers were visibly shaken and emotional while leaving the hotel to go the Target Center, the site of tonight's Raw/Smackdown taping. Word from WWE sources is that the tenor of tonight's taping will be dramatically different and that the Smackdown show will need to be revised.
Guerrero's death is now the lead story on WWE.com, under the headline "Tragic Loss". The article says that WWE is "deeply saddened" by Guerrero's death, and provides no further details on his passing.
just got this. guys like Benoit, Malenko & esp chavo are going to be gutted, for one thing he's chavo's uncle, for another the other guys (and rey in the last 2 yrs) have done everything with him, you're looking at over 10 years with malenko & benoit. |

When I saw him at the last Hall of Fame dinner on WWE TV, I could tell he had something, he was very skinny. He had also said, "I only wish Monsoon were here." Damn this is really sad. :( I grew up on this stuff. |

same here, I watch it quite often if there's nothing else on but read the reports all the time to make sure i'm not missing anything.
# Bobby Heenan was sadly diagnosed with Throat Cancer..
# January 2002: -----Directly from Bobby Heenan as seen on www.bobbythebrain.com:
# ~~~"I just want to let all the wonderful "humanoids" out there know how grateful I am for the good wishes..
# ~~~Yes, I do have throat cancer, but I plan on beating this too.
# ~~~If the late, Great Gorila Monsoon couldn't shut me up, Cancer isn't going to either..
# Bobby Heenan is considered by many, the greatest wrestling manager of all time..
# Bobby Heenan publishes his biography Bobby "the Brain" Heenan..
# March 20, 2003 - Smackdown!: Bobby The Brain makes an appearance in a taped interview giving his comments on Wrestlemania..
# Bobby Heenan and co-author Steve Anderson, a former PWI writer, have agreed to a deal to write a second book together..
# Bobby Heenan has been telling those close to him that after
two recent MRI exams, his doctors have deemed him cancer-free!
Whatevr read on here, I'm sure Jim Ross said he still had it, and he doesn't look well at all, as you say, so skinny for a guy who was never like it. |

for sure. He looks really weak imo, he made some appearances earlier this year on the ROH promotion (Which is probably the best place for real wrestling now) and with others like jim cornette (remember the guy with the tennis racket!) and Mick Foley has been selling a promotion for whom many of its stars are now with wwe, tna or tipped to end up there. |

Damn, man :( :( :(
I grew up watching Eddy Guerrero and he was always one of my favourite performers. I don't really watch wrestling today, but when i did, it was always funny to see Eddy in the ring :p
