Mattskins83 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Like most of you, I am a Redskins fan. But I am also a huge wrestling fan, and today we lost one of the greatest and respected stars in the history of the business. He was one of the better guys in the locker room, and always had time to give out autographs. Just wanted to let people know. RIP Eddie:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins4SB Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 Yeah, I saw the news on WWE.com this morning. I can't say it is too shocking because just look at him when he was with the WCW. He was pretty skinny compared to what he was now. Steroids had to be the cause of his death. I'm pretty certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyholetsgogrant Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 do they know the cause of the death yet?...you guys are right that he looks as if he took steriods, along with many of the WWE crew. -Grants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Showstopper Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 wow, just....wow http://wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=133910400 WWE.com did not give much information on the Eddie Guerrero passing in their report this morning. We do know that Eddie was in Minneapolis, MN waiting for the RAW and SmackDown! tapings which are being held tonight. Eddie was just 38 years old. According to sources, Eddie had breakfast this morning with Chavo Guerrero and at least one other wrestler. Chavo and Eddie had traveled together for months when both were on SmackDown!. Eddie then returned to his hotel room and when he didn't come back out when he was scheduled, some friends went looking for him and found him dead. We have no other details and do not want to speculate. Local Minneapolis station WCCO posted the following on their website: (WCCO) Minneapolis World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis, the organization said Sunday. Guerrero, 38, was found at the Marriott City Center in downtown Minneapolis. He was in town for Sunday night's "WWE Supershow" TV taping at Target Center. Police confirmed Guerrero's death, but are not yet releasing additional information. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner was at the hotel. Guerrero was a featured star on the UPN series "WWE Smackdown!" and the subject of a full-length DVD titled "Cheating Death, Stealing Life." Son of legendary Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero has also wrestled with World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling, among other federations. His nephew, Chavo Guerrero, Jr., also wrestles with WWE. Stay with WCCO.COM for more information as it becomes available. On behalf of everyone at this website, we want to send our condolences to the family and friends of Eddie. Rest in Peace, Eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sith lord Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I just heard about at the beginning of the NWA-TNA PPV. Very sad. With that being said, you can add his name to a long list of pro wrestlers that has died at a fairly young age. If anybody have kids out their that has thought of doing steroids, educate them on all the prominate pro wrestlers that has died in there 30's and 40's over the last few years.

As of right now the cause of death is still undetermined and i have a hard time believing that it would be drug related seeing as how Eddie was a recovering alcoholic. Eddie was a real person and someone that I had a great amount of respect for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bofluid Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Sterioids have not even been implicated in any of these wrestlers deaths. Almost all of the deaths have been tied to the deadly combination of painkillers/muscle relaxers with harsh drugs and/or alcohol. RIP Eddie. He was always one of my favorites when I was addicted to Raw/Nitro during my high school days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, but you're very nieve if you don't believe that steroids didn't have anything to do with all these guys' untimely deaths. It wasn't proven that steroids killed Lyle Alzado, but he was damn sure of it before he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't proven that steroids killed Lyle Alzado, but he was damn sure of it before he died. Man, I've noticed we really don't agree on anything. I don't believe I'm being naive here at all. The fact of the matter is, all of the death records have stated that these wrestlers are dying from combining drugs/alcohol with painkillers/muscle relaxers. The causes of death have been released for all these wrestlers and none of them so much as mention steroids. I've never abused, nor have I ever had the desire to abuse steroids, but they're really not as dangerous as many will lead you to believe. Alcohol is much more dangerous as far as I (and many others) am concerned. Just about every wrestler in the WWE is doing or has done steroids during their careers. I will concede your point when a wrestler who doesnt abuse drugs, alcohol, pain killers or muscle relaxers dies. The sad truth is, that all of these wrestlers dying have these horrible non-steroid related habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
