Wrestler Eddie Guerrero died aged 38 on Sunday in his hotel room in Minneapolis, Mn. He was always a stellar performer in the ring and a great personality that truly reached out to all viewers and followers of pro-wrestling, in particular the Hispanic community in America. Although I only knew the man from what others said about him (he didnt have an enemy, was kind and loving) and what I saw in the ring and read about online (he overcame drug and alcohol abuse 4 years ago and came back from a potentially life-ending car accident), it is almost as if a familiar friend has gone. This was the same feeling I had when Owen Hart died in May 1999. No one wants a friend to go, nor does he want a child to lose his father or wife to lose her husband, but that is the tragedy that has happened. See you in heaven someday Eddie. You touched this old wrestling fan with what you laid down in the squared circle, which was everything you had.
