Holy shit... I don't know what to say. I feel like I should be dreaming, but I'm not. How could this happen? Eddie was in the prime of his career, one of the tops in the biz. It can't happen this way...

RIP Eddie. Thanks for all the memories. Your ability was loved and appreciated by all of us.

I am just blown away. Eddie is just...fuck man...this sucks...

More coming out already... Both of these came from Inside Pulse:

According to PWTorch, 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.




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.


Again, RIP Eddie...

Aw geez as I started watching the Raw Tribute I was holding back alot of tears. When the camera cut to Big Show crying I just lost it. This is alot more painful then I thought it would be.

[Eastern Extreme]

I don't think I realized just how devastating it was until Raw last night. I didn't wuite cry, but I really wished I could.

[Liontamer]

Oh yeah I bawled my eyes out at the beginning.. It's like a trigger went off in my mind and it just started coming out. A lot of the rest of the show had me teary eyed, especially Rey, Chavo, and Benoit's comments. Triple H's words keep ringing through my head too. "He's somewhere right now lying, cheating somebody, and has stolen all of our hearts."

An early autopsy report has been revealed... www.411mania.com/wrestling/news/newsboard.php?news_id=13077

That's upsetting to hear. He gave up those demons, but in the end the side effects of him doing it ended up being the cause of his death... I've said it before and I'll say it again: RIP Eddie, you're greatly going to be missed.

You know I haven't said anything and that's probably because I just don't know what to say. But after watching the tribute shows for Raw and just then Smackdown, I just wanted to at least voice somewhere that I also miss Eddie and I wanna tell you all to watch Smackdown. I'm pretty sure Australia gets Smackdown before all of you now that it's aired Friday so I've just watched it and Chavos match is great to watch and the crowd atmosphere that goes with it is awesome. What JBL had to say was great to and of course the Main Event with Benoit and Triple H hugging at the end.

You just keep hearing how good of a person Eddie was and all the things he had done to help people when they were down. As already said, it's just really sad to see him go.

I still get my smackdown on Thursdays (up here in Canadia). When do you get it rac?

[RaCaRrIfFiC]

I get it on my Friday so I assumed if it's now Friday Night Smackdown then I'd be getting it earlier with the whole Australia being a day ahead.

Yeah...I don't even know what to say. To see The Big Show, a 500 pound guy reduced to tears...Benoit, Angle, Triple H, everyone...I couldn't, and still can't even while watch Smackdown. He maybe gone, but he'll never be forgotten.
