[quote name='Saucy Jack']This is one of the darkest days I've ever had to experience in my lifetime. I get home from a scary experience to find out that one of my all-time favorite wrestlers has died.
I'm trying to hold back tears right now. I know it might sound silly to cry over someone I didn't know personally, but you have to understand...
I'm from Texas, and the Guerrero family means so much down here... especially to the Hispanic community. My father grew up watching Gory and Chavo Sr., and I remember growing up seeing Chavo Jr. and Eddie. Everything from local/regional shows to WCW and WWE. I grew up watching Eddie, and he's always been one of my favorites.
How can someone be there on the screen, healthy and happy one day, and be gone the next? It's heartbreaking to realize that I will never see Eddie again.
One of my favorite memories is a WCW taping. Eddie was a huge heel in WCW at the time, but you wouldn't know that from our show. There were Eddie signs everywhere. There was even a girl who had a sign pointing to her boyfriend in the next seat, saying "Eddie Guerrero's twin," and the guy did look like Eddie.
When Eddie's music hit, the place erupted in cheers. Eddie had to keep the stone-faced, I hate you all look for his character, but you could tell that he was touched by the cheers. And his frog splash was a little higher that night...
Also, when I attended my first SmackDown! live taping last year, it was Eddie and RVD in a tag match...
"Orale, Corpus Christi, Tejas! Orale, mi raza! It's good to be home!"
Also, I remember seeing him at a house show with Tajiri as his tag partner. He had the crowd loving him as usual, and Tajiri even spoke some Spanish and had the crowd roaring.
Here's some photos I just found of Eddie. I will always cherish these. They're a bit blurry, but still great:
Rest in Peace, Eddie. I'll never forget you, and thank you for the joy you brought to me when you stepped through those ropes...[/QUOTE]
Saucy, you got me teary eyed now man.
