RIP Eddie

Eddie Goy Guerrero, died over the weekend. The cause is still unknown at this time, but they are saying that he died of a massive heart attack, while brushing his teeth.
I dont know why, but Eddie's death has hit me pretty hard. I never met the guy, nor ever watched him live. Yet, his death is a big one that really hurts....
A few years ago, I wanted to learn more about the back side of wrestling, the stuff that no one knows about. After surfing the net, I found a few sites that provided me with that information that I sought.
I had learned that many of the wrestlers are pretty much popus jerk offs that think they are so much more. Hulk Hogan was one of these people, as much as I grew up, his status go to his head.
Eddie was so much more. I cant remember off hand when or where, but I do remember reading how Eddie was compassionate for his fans, and how he had made donations to charities.
I remember when I heard that HBK Shawn Michaels became a christian. I had to search this out and I found it to be true. Then, through my search I came to find that there were more men, active in the WWE, that were men of faith. Big Show is one. Chris Jericho is another. Eddie was one as well.
But, that didnt make me like Eddie more because he was a man of faith. It was his work ethic, his determination to please the fans was what really keyed me into why Eddie was so great. How many matches can one count, that Eddie layed it all out for us, the fans?
I am quite mournful of his death, but its more of a selfish mourn. I will miss watching Eddie pull up to the ring in his low rider. Dropping to three wheels prior to entering the ring. I will miss the character who became so much more popular with the "Cheat, Lie and steal to win" attitude, in character. He played it to a tee, but, the way he played it was comical, in a sense.
Eddie, you will definately be missed. Your smile, your banter and your enthusiasim will be missed man millions of fans around the world.
Rest in Peace Eddie, and one day, we shall meet.
