Rest in peace Eddie G 🙏🏿
Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit = 2 of the best wrestlers in the 2000s.
There’s been a lot more sudden and excess deaths sadly in the last few years 💔💔💔
I was a little girl in the early 00’s, I was just obsessed with wwe and when I found out guerriero died I still remember how sad I was, I didn’t really understand death properly I just knew he wasn’t coming back
I remember the day of his death vividly. It was the day after my birthday that year. I woke up and checked WWE's site and saw the memorial image for Eddie and my immediate thought was "huh, must be a new storyline". Then I actually read the article. A month later, my highschool girlfriend passed away from cancer. 2005 was not a fun year.
Uncle Ed RIP brotha love/respect 🙌
🙏🏻
WE ALL CRIED.
Thank god. His death have nothing to do with no relapse. That’s true for one. Factually it’s possible through his story. There’s anybody struggling with an addiction he showed that. One love. Why y’all even ask that?
I lie, I cheat, I steal
I was only 5 years old when heard the news of Eddie guerrero's passing. That day I felt something else died inside me.
Man well at least he didn't die alone on the floor.
Not private for me
I knew Chris Benoit more in 2006 on Smackdown being the United States Champion & him being the Rabid Wolverine. He was the best technical wrestler that I’ve ever watched when I heard about the news about him passing it was hard to believe. I didn’t process enough of his death I was at a young age everything escalated like wild fire when he the news said he murdered his family. I also didn’t know it was just only 2 years before when Eddie passed away in 2005 that’s a short time span. Death can change a person forever & the trauma behind it.
So sad to die a young person. Steroids kills with no exception no matter who you are.
Fun fact Eddie got fired and went to rehab in 2001 In a promo with brock he said " I came to a point in my life Essa where i had to make a decision do or die"
RIP GUERRERO LA RAZA FOREVER 🇲🇽 915 El Paso Texas Went to the same high school as eddie
It was Benoit, it was Benoit all along.
