Feeling cold without the Latino Heat!

This is weird. I actually MISS Eddie. A whole lot more than I thought I would. Today was Smackdown's tribute to Guerrero. The match at the end between Triple H and Chris Benoit is especially heart-warming.

Actually, this entire incident is very touching in an ironic sort of way. To see such big buffed-up men cry on TV, showing true emotion for the first time on a show that's completely fake is, in a weird sense, beautiful.

Eddie was the kind of guy that made wrestling fun for me, a girl - the kind of girl who shudders when she sees a clenched fist, and faints at the first sight of blood. But Eddie was funny! Actually, he was hilarious. His motto of "I lie, I cheat, I steal but at least, I'm honest about it." suited him to a T. That mischievous smile he has is one of the cutest I've ever seen!

Even the last match he fought on Nov 11th was classic Eddie! While the referee was conveniently distracted, Eddie picks a chair from outside the ring and throws it at Ken Kennedy, which Ken catches obviously. Then Eddie throws himself onto the ring floor, pain contorting his face. The referee turns when he hears the loud thud, only to see Eddie in pain and a chair in Ken's hand. Ken is disqualified and Eddie wins. That smile on his face dripping with mischief is absolutely adorable, to say the least.




Just look at him in this photograph. So cool. Chillin' like a villian.




WWE will just not be the same without him. People loved to love Eddie. He was naughty, childish, playful and funny. And when it came to providing entertainment value, he was a 15 on 10! He was the perfect performer.

From what his employers, colleagues and friends have to say about him, it seems that Eddie was a wonderful human being too. The saying goes that "nice men finish last". But personally I think that nice men don't ever get to reach the finish line.

Eduardo Guerrero, I'm sure you can hear the chants of "Eddie Eddie" reach you wherever you are. But just to let you know, you have died living up to your motto. You have cheated death too, because your memories will live on forever.

Arz000n: Yeah. My all time fave is The Rock too! Do you smellllllll what The Rock... is... cooking?

Yoyo: He died in his sleep in a hotel room of a heart-attack. His heart supposedly had been under a lot of strain, and the walls of his heart had thinned terribly. He used to take drugs, but has been clean for 4 years. But it's said that that is the cause for his heart becoming so weak.

Priya: I know. He is so
COOL!!

here's wht i hafta say abt wwe:
i don't think it's a very dangerous profession. :)
i mean, c'mon, u can tell by the way they fall n get kicked n beaten up. n the thumps u hear r their feet stamping the floor. it's phoney!! thr's no risk involved. if u want risk, stuntmen or the guys on A1 (base jumpers n the like) wud be the ppl to watch. n i STILL hv guys tellin me it's all real!! nothing'll convince them.
tht's all i hafta say abt wwe. (forrest gump ishtyle).
(i hv been busy the past few days.....this place sucks!! big time!!) :(( *waaaah*

meh... what's with people and fake wrestling these days??? I saw him more of a Tv Star than a wrestler. kinda like Dr. Carter on ER (i miss that show). Je prefere regarder vrais combats de lutte comme le "Contender".

Nirmal: What's not to like? The half-naked men? The half-naked women? You must get a load of the chicks on WWE now. You'll never say you don't like it again.

Sparky: Yeah. I like my quote too :p But I do believe that some of that stuff is real. I don't think you can really fake jumping on top of a man from the ropes in front of thousands of people. It's dangerous, in my opinion.

Vit_X: :p

RA: I think you should watch WWE once, at least for the bikini babes. I don't see how ANY man cannot be turned on by scantily clad women getting down and dirty. Even I find it sexy :P

Prashanth: I used to be a huge soccer fan during the last World Cup. I watched every single match. I love Rivaldo. He's so full of tricks. So do I still qualify? ;)

Virdi: :(

Jaguu: Fulfilled your wish monsieur! *hugs*
