ollie Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Just read this on one of the wrestling boards I still frequent. No real details at the moment. Very sad news.Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis this morning at the age of 38.The only details available is that Guerrero came in yesterday for tonight's scheduled television tapings at the Target Center where he was scheduled in the main event. He was staying at the Marriott City Center hotel in downtown Minneapolis.He had an early wake-up call shortly after 7 a.m. that he didn't answer. Chavo Guerrero, who he was traveling with, called the room and again got no answer. When knocks on his hotel room door went unanswered, security got the door open and Eddie was found dead in the bathroom. Many have noted the coincidence both of Guerrero passing away in a hotel room, similar to Brian Pillman, in 1997, in nearby Bloomington.Guerrero was one of the best wrestlers of this generation and immensely popular within the industry.Eddie Guerrero passes away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Oh, that's sad. I go in and out of pro-wrestling phases, and it's been awhile since I've been following WWE, but Eddie was awesome and had been through a lot to turn his life around. Sounds like maybe his addictions caught back up with him. Many have noted the coincidence both of Guerrero passing away in a hotel room This part strikes me as tragically odd. They spend their lives on the road -- statistically for him to die anywhere else would have practically been a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Eddie Guerrero was one of the greats and it sucks that he won't be around no more. When I used to watch wrestling he was probably one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rawk Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 sad news when anyone passes before their time but...how can grown men still watch wrestling? Hmm. - hot men in tights - hot women in tights - acrobatics - backroom politics - the development of backroom politics to an on-screen product Remind me what isn't to like? The real soap opera is what happens off the camera and out of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
