4 years ago today, professional wrestler Eddie Guerrero was found unconscious by nephew and fellow worker Chavo Guerrero in his Marionette City Center hotel room in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was pronounced dead by paramedics after arriving at the scene while Chavo is resuscitating his uncle. Many consider Eddie Guerrero’s death “a dark day” in the professional wrestling industry and fan base, yet his life and career was celebrated by his peers after the news of his passing was known to all.

“A dark day”, indeed. He was one of my favorite pro wrestlers ever, and nobody can’t ignore that he IS one of the greatest ever. It’s such a shame that somebody as real and as hard-working as him passed away suddenly.
R.I.P., Eddie. We totally miss you.
I loved Eddie. One of the most unique athletes to ever compete in any ring, he had all the chops you could want in a wrestler. I had friends who used to hate wrestling start watching it because of Eddie. He was my dad’s favorite, especially since my old man knew very well the challenges Eddie had to overcome in his life. Another special aspect was his love of la raza… la raza quería mucho a Eddie… and he always showed respect to his upbringing, to his heritage, to his people.
