Eddie
"Latino Heat" Guerrero, a fixture for the wrestling fan almost anywhere on the
planet knows of the men. The worldwide wrestling Federation product passed
away last night, in his hotel room. He was supposed to wrestle last night,
but was found hours before the match dead in his room by his cousin Chavo. Mr. Guerrero
was known for many of these crazy stunts and dirty deeds. He was known as
that Hispanic powerhouse named Latino Heeeet, who played dirty and loved it.
He worked well with his peers, even doing a story line with ever so big Chyna.
She was by his side at many parts during his Latino Heat Character started at
the oneset of Latino Heat. His wrestling style, it was legendary, and a
very viable product by Vince McMahon. Vince has moved his wrestling
products into great places, even taking them to cheer up the troops on
Christmas. Mr. Guerrero was one of those wrestlers that formed for that
Christmas showcase. Many of the troops loved to see him when he came to
see them in the hospital. A great many children and adults looked up to
Mr. Guerrero, and his no-nonsense attitude. The man was built like a
bricklaying truck and an attitude that was carried on his shoulder in every
match that he had participated in. I myself as a wrestling fan laments
Eddie Guerrero, a Hispanic hero of the wrestling ring. This did come as a
surprise to all, for Guerrero gave up drinking and drugs for years ago.
Even though the perception was that he had to be on drugs, but that was part of
his wrestling persona it was far from the truth. Eddie's dream was to main
event and he fulfilled that dream in 2004, defending his title against USA
Champion Curt Angle and winning. He was known also as the wrestler who "Lies,
Cheats and Steals". His Antics in the ring were well known. The fans loved
him, the last person he was battling was JBL. He will be missed by his wrestling locker room
friends and most of all by his fans. Goodbye Mr. Guerrero you will be
missed by us all, thank you for entertaining us for all these years. To
his family, thank you for loaning him to us and letting him entertain the world.
The UPN family of WWE gave a touching remembrance with all the locker room
saying bye. They were all visibly shaken.
