WWE's Eddie Guerrero dies at the age of 38.By Eric SchomburgNovember 13, 2005
It’s a sad day in professional wrestling, Eddie Guerrero, better known as “Latino Heat,” passed away at the age of 38.
This article is not about praising one company or bashing another, this is a column about one man who fought through addiction, fought through emotional problems, only to rise up and become one of the legendary wrestlers in professional wrestling history.
Eddie Guerrero, like most great wrestlers, was a part of a wrestling family where his father, the late Gory Guerrero, was considered a legend in Mexican wrestling. With his three brothers, Chavo Guerrero, Sr, Hector Guerrero, and Mando Guerrero, who were all wrestlers themselves.
Eddie started wrestling in 1987, when professional wrestling was booming with the likes of Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan. He wrestled in his home country Mexico. 6 years later, he would explore the land of the rising sun, Japan, to wrestle. It was until 1994, when ECW, Extreme Championship Wrestling, chairman, Paul Heyman, discovered Eddie and gave him a job wrestling in the United States.
In ECW, Eddie won the ECW Television Title twice, and established himself as one of the greatest performers with his fast, high-paced matches that wrestling fans, including myself, enjoyed. Eddie had great matches with the likes of Dean Malenko, and Chris Benoit.
Guerrero would later sign with WCW, World Championship Wrestling, and would have great success there. He would win the United States Championship, and on two separate occasions, the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.
However, Eddie would have a darker time while wrestling in WCW. Eddie would succumb to painkillers, and was addicted to other drugs. Another problem that Eddie suffered was the ardent love for the wrestling business; while in WCW, the “backbone” of the company–Benoit, Malenko, Mysterio, and Guerrero–was reduced down to mid-card status, which is decent, but for the great matches they were putting on they deserved better; however, the likes of Hulk Hogan and the nWo would overshadow the top of WCW while Guerrero was reduced to a “fill-in.”
In 1999, Eddie Guerrero was involved in a car crash in which some say was supposed to have killed him, but it didn’t, and he continued to wrestle for WCW. Finally, in the year 2000, Eddie was fed up with Eric Bischoff and WCW and left to sign with Vince McMahon.
While in WWE, Eddie’s debut would be cut short after a match with a tag-team named Degeneration-X, Eddie would dislocate his left arm and would have to wear a sling before he could wrestle again.
Eddie’s career was skyrocketing with great feuds with the likes of Chyna, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, and Kurt Angle. However, it wasn’t until 2004, when Eddie Guerrero defeated rising star, Brock Lesnar, to win the WWE Championship. It was then that Eddie Guerrero went from great wrestler to wrestling legend.
Eddie’s star turned gold with endorsement deals with Stacker 2, having his own DVD, and millions of fans praising Eddie for all of his hard work. What made Eddie’s dream even more sweeter was he retained the title at Wrestlemania XX, and his best friend, Chris Benoit, won the WWE World Heavyweight Title, which meant the two top titles in the WWE were held by Eddie and his best friend, Chris Benoit.
Eddie’s title reign wouldn’t last as he would be defeated by John Bradshaw Layfield. Eddie’s star would take a slight decline, but he would later win the WWE Tag-Team titles with tag team partner and friend, Rey Mysterio, Jr.
On November 11, 2005, Eddie Guerrero wrestled his last match against Ken Kennedy, in which he defeated the undefeated Ken Kennedy via disqualification.
Two days after his match, Eddie would pass away in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is strange because that is the hometown of Brock Lesnar, the man he won the WWE Title from, and it’s the home state of two other legendary wrestlers who passed away, Curt Hennig, and Rick Rude.
An interesting note, since Batista tore a muscle in his back, he had to “drop” the World Title, and a triple threat match was made to determine who would be the next champion. Presumably, Eddie Guerrero would have won and become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion in that match.
Eddie Guerrero is truly one of the best wrestlers to ever be in the squared circle. A guy who can work a match, work a character, and captivate a love for and from wrestling fans.
If I know Eddie Guerrero, he is pulling in that big ring in the sky right now in one of his lowriders, and his father is waiting with open arms and a proud smile. We’re all proud of you, Eddie Guerrero.
Descanse en la paz, Eddie Guerrero
