People may say that wrestling is fake and what have you, but when you see grown men who are 6'5"-7'0", 250-300-350 pounds, out there crying, you know whats real and what bonds these guys have with one another.

Yep, seeing Trips and Show out there with red eyes and the emotion coming from everyone else, very sad. I have been a wrestling fan since I was six and the only death that was as bad/if not worse, was Owen Hart's surprise fall.jod0565 said:
Just leaves me speechless when i try to describe Eddie now, very shocking.
I read that the one of the matches on Smackdown will be JBL vs Chavo. Chavo will do what Eddie does best in his match "Lie, Cheat & Steal." He ends it with a Frog Splash on JBL.poggy1 said:Thought WWE did a very good tribute to Eddie on Raw.Hope they do the same with Smackdown too.
Must admit one of the few reasons I still watch wrestling at times was because of Eddie.:weeping:

WWE.com posted the following:
After the untimely passing of Eddie Guerrero, WWE and the entire sports-entertainment community is steel reeling from the devastating loss of a champion. The initial autopsy reports on Guerrero have come in. WWE.com spoke with Eddie’s widow, Vickie Guerrero, earlier today.
“It was heart failure. It was from his past – the drinking and the drug abuse. They found signs of heart disease. She (the examiner) said that the blood vessels were very worn and narrow, and that just showed all the abuse from the scheduling of work and his past. And Eddie just worked out like crazy all the time. It made his heart grow bigger and work harder and the vessels were getting smaller, and that’s what caused the heart failure. He went into a deep sleep.
As soon as they saw his heart, they saw the lining of his heart already had the heart disease. There was no trauma, and Eddie hadn’t hurt himself in any way. It answered a lot of questions. I knew Eddie wasn’t feeling very good for the last week. He was home and kept saying he wasn’t feeling good and we thought it was just “road tired.” So we thought he just had to rest. It answered a lot of my questions, too, because he was just so exhausted. She said it was normal because the heart was working so hard.
When he didn’t call me last night and the night before I knew it was for real, because he would call me every night. I miss his phone calls. I cried through the whole thing (last night).
I loved his laugh. His laugh was the best.
We just celebrated his four-year sobriety last Thursday. We just thought we had life by the handful. We thought we had it all figured out. He worked so hard to make a better life for us.
I’m just overwhelmed by how people are coming out. It’s touched my heart a lot.
Everybody was just in awe last night in how beautifully everything was put together.
All my life was wrestling. All he did was take care of them and live for that. And I don’t know what to do now.”

Now this just pisses me off:
Some people have been arguing as to whether or not Colin Cowherd's comments on ESPN radio yesterday where tasteless, although, it goes without saying that the following comments made on a Boston radio show earlier this morning were most definitely tasteless as the host(s) made crass comments on not only Eddie Guerrero, but Owen Hart as well. Here is what was said on that radio station. Thanks to PhoenixofZion for tipping this off.... <i>On Denis & Callahan on WEEI out of Boston this morning they mentioned Eddie's death, ragged on him for probably doing steroids, and then said "Well, at least he didn't fall out of the rafters like some of them do...SPLAT!"</i> WEEI 850 AM Sports Radio out of Boston has a phone number you can call at (617)779-3500 if you'd like to voice a complaint. The site also has a e-mail form which you can fill out if you have to something to tell them online. The "contact us" link is below. http://www.weei.com/contactus.asp
And ESPN's first apology:
ESPN.com sent me the following just moments ago:
<i>"While some comments attributed to Colin Cowherd were taken out of context and are innacurate, we do apologize for a statement implying that Eddie Guerrero's death was steroid-related."</i>
