Again another great wrestler dies a little too often it seems that
I'm seeing this. I did not know the man but it seems as if I did.
the last thing that I will say about it is this, thanks for what
you've done for the wrestling business Eddie you will be greatly
missed. Below I have enclosed the story.




MINNEAPOLIS (Nov. 13) - World Wrestling Entertainment superstar
Eduardo Gory Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room Sunday
morning in Minneapolis, where he was scheduled to appear that
evening in a WWE Supershow.

When Guerrero, 38, didn't respond to a wake-up call, hotel security
at Minneapolis Marriott City Center and Guerrero's nephew and fellow
WWE wrestler, Chavo Guerrero, forced entry into the room shortly
after 7 a.m., police said.

The 5-feet-8, 220-pound wrestler was found on the floor. Attempts to
revive him were unsuccessful.

There were no apparent signs of foul play or suicide, police said.
An autopsy was planned at the Hennepin County medical examiner's
office.

He was a featured star on the UPN series "WWE Smackdown!" and son of
Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero.

He is survived by his wife, Vickie, and daughters Shaul, 14;
Sherilyn, 9; and Kaylie Marie, 3, according to WWE Web site.

"This is a huge loss," said WWE chairman Vince McMahon. "Eddie was a
wonderful, fun-loving human being. Eddie was a consummate performer."

Chavo Guerrero and McMahon said Guerrero was open about his past
drug and alcohol abuse but they said he'd been sober for four years.

Guerrero was in the Twin Cities with 60 to 80 other wrestlers to
film "Friday Night Smackdown" at the Target Center.

"I know Eddie would want the show to go on," Chavo Guerrero said.

In February 2004, Guerrero became the second wrestler of Hispanic
heritage to be WWE champion when he defeated Brock Lesnar, a former
University of Minnesota wrestling standout. Guerrero lost the title
four months later.

In May 2004, UPN aired the special "Cheating Death, Stealing Life:
The Eddie Guerrero Story." The one-hour program chronicled his
childhood and his struggle with drug addiction that almost cost him
his job, family and life before his recovery and eventual capture of
the WWE championship.

Guerrero grew up in El Paso, Texas. He and his three older brothers
were all wrestlers
