Remembering Eddie Guerrero
November 13, 2005 was a date that was forever etched in my mind. On that date, the entire wresting world lost one of its greatest performers in "Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero. I couldn't even fathom what I was feeling upon hearing of his passing. That notwithstanding, I'd much rather remember the happier times.
See
the marker stone, See the heavy load
See
the burden on my head…hum…
Eddie Guerrero was undoubtedly one my favorite wrestlers in the WWE. In watching the testimonials of many of those who knew him personally, Eddie was a great performer and an even greater human being.
See
I can't move on with my lantern gone
I
need you only friend to shine in me
And
I'm not afraid to show my heart
I'm
not afraid to let you start in my life again
Eddie was always a joy to watch in the ring, always pulling off some clever way to "Lie, Cheat, and Steal." He had many great matches with the like Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit, JBL and the list goes on. In real life, Eddie I think was an inspiration to many of the present and future stars.
With
a Hole in My Hand, and the strength to my stand
With
a flame in my heart, burn in me again
With
a Hole in My Hand, and the strength to my stand
With
a flame in my heart, burn in me again
With a Hole in My Hand, with a Hole in My Hand
Eddie had a natural charisma about him that couldn't be matched. Every time he came in a low rider, I kept wishing I could ride with him. Through it all, Eddie loved to perform in front of millions of fans.
See
the ropes are long, and they hold on strong
To
tie me to the end…gone
See
I can't move on with my freedom gone
I
need you only friend to set my free
A lot of smarks thought Eddie was "too small" to win the big one. But Eddie proved them wrong when he beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship. I was especially excited and happy for "Latino Heat." After everything Eddie had been through in his life, he had come full circle.
And
I'm not afraid to show my heart
I'm
not afraid to let start in my life again
Eddie went on to WRESTLEMANIA XX to beat Kurt Angle and later join Chris Benoit in celebration, both as World Champions. It was a moment that would be forever remembered by many fans, myself included.
With
a Hole in My Hand, and the strength to my stand
With
a flame in my heart, burn in me again
With
a Hole in My Hand, and the strength to my stand
With
a flame in my heart, burn in me again
With a Hole in My Hand, with a Hole in My Hand
And I'm not afraid to show my heart
As I said before, Eddie Guerrero was a great performer and an even greater human being. John Cena called him a great man. Shawn Michaels spoke of Eddie's faith in the Lord. Batista had said that Eddie loved his family. Chris Benoit admitted that Eddie made a great impression on his own life and he'll never forget him.
I for one will always remember Eddie Guerrero as a true legend in the wrestling world and one of the greatest human beings ever. He lied, he cheated and he stole everyone's hearts, even mine. Eddie Guerrero was a true champion in life and will never be forgotten. Long live "Latino Heat!"
With
a Hole in My Hand, and the strength to my stand
With
a flame in my heart, burn in me again
With
a Hole in My Hand, and the strength to my stand
With
a flame in my heart, burn in me again
With a Hole in My Hand, with a Hole in My Hand…YEAH
Viva La Raza!
