Re: Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005
Very sad news :(
Both Raw and Smackdown are going to be tribute shows this week and during TNA's PPV last night the crowd kept chanting Eddie's name. The man was one of the top ten greatest wrestlers imo and Smackdown won't be the same without him.

Never heard of him but I think I've seen him before.
I hope it wasn't steroid related.:(

He defiently used them in the past, not so sure about recently as he was supposed to be clean of all drugs for the last four years. But I guess the damage could have already been done. With someone like Dave Meltzer saying that maybe 90% of the WWE talent were/are 'juicing' we're likely to see more early deaths, this one certainly isn't the first with Big Bossman, British Bulldog, Mr Perfect and Hawk all gone with problems related to steoids (mostly enlarged hearts being a culprit in their deaths).

One of British Bulldogs died from that? Weren't they the brothers (looked almost like twins)?
Since wrestling isn't a real sport, it is ripe for steroid use. There's no real oversight (Vince was on it).
However, steroid use is rampant in other real sports so I doubt we'll see that many deaths in the WWE. How many is too much though? :(

Re: Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005
Yes, Eddie was a legend. One of the few guys to break through the glass ceiling in wrestling [because he wasn't 300lbs he was pretty much overlooked most of his career].

That's actually not true, contrary to popular belief. His drug abuse was through Alocohol and Prescription drugs. And yes, he has been clean since 2001.
Re: Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005
Such a shame. I saw him a couple of times, really knew how to work the crowd.
