I still remember logging on to WWE.com that Sunday and seeing the image and my heart just sunk. I couldn't believe. I cried for a bit and then the following night I remember watching Raw with naive hope that it wasn't true, and next came the opening to "Hurt" by Johnny Cash and it hit me that this really happened and I just broke down. It just sucks so much that it happened.
I always thought it was interesting that he passed away just after becoming a Face again and everyone loving him.

It's November 13th in the UK which means it's been 7 years since the untimely death of Eddie Guerrero. Absolutely crazy how time flies, I was 13 at the time & actually found out on the Monday after school through WF on the main page. I saw headings such as "Eddie funeral arrangements" & was like "Eddie who?". I assumed that an old retired legend had died & was shocked when I went to WWE.com & saw...  Really sad  . He could have been a huge star if he hadn't passed. What the  are you talking about? Eddie was ing huge before he died. Eddie was beloved by everybody, thus the reason why his passing was one of the saddest. His tributes still move me, I get chills every time I watch him win the wwe title. I still remember when I heard the news, and how my mind was blown, and all this was because how much I loved Eddie and admired him as a fan. I'm not trying to take away from other deaths, but Eddie's touched me like no other has ever done. It still feels like yesterday when I found out from my best friend. R.I.P. Eddie, gone, but NEVER forgotten. Eddie is the utmost example of a guy whose legacy is glorified simply due to the fact that he died; which is a shame that it happens so frequently in the wrestling industry. He was a great performer, great entertainer, no where NEAR as good as people make him out to be just because he died. I wish he would've been around longer to build his own legacy (which he probably would have); not have one handed to him posthumously. You are out of your mind. Yes, this does happen from time to time, but this was not the case with Eddie. You clearly must have not been a fan pre-2006, because if you were, then you would know just how beloved Eddie was before he ever died. |

R.I.P Eddie
I watched a few matches in his honor today.
vs Jeff Hardy on Raw 2002
vs Team Angle No Way Out 2003
vs Brock Lesnar No Way Out 2004
Eddie was truly an unforgettable part of the WWE and will always be missed.

Wow, that's a long time. I remember being in Sheffield, England for the Raw Taping that was the Week after the Eddie Tribute Show, and Batista paid Tribute to him after the Show. That Arena was very emotional.

I cannot believe it's been that long. I remember going to a show in England (Survivor Series tour) and the atmosphere was sincere. They did the ten bell salute and everyone was chanting his name all night.
RIP Eddie, I still can't believe you're gone.
