Eduardo "Eddie" Gory Guerrero Llanes (October 9, 1967 – November 13, 2005) better known as Eddie Guerrero, was an American professional wrestler born into a legendary Mexican wrestling family. He had a distinguished career, wrestling in Mexico and Japan and in every major professional wrestling promotion in the United States. He wrestled in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and, most famously, in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), which was World Wrestling Federation (WWF) before 2002.
Guerrero's in-ring gimmick was that of a crafty, resourceful wrestler who would do anything to win a match. His famous catch phrase became "Cheat to Win." Despite being a heel for much of his career, he got over in and outside the ring. Another one of his famous slogans was "I Lie! I Cheat! I Steal!," which was used in one of his most famous entrance themes. He partly uses this phrase in his autobiography Cheating Death, Stealing Life.
Throughout his career, Guerrero encountered various substance abuse problems outside of wrestling, including alcoholism and an addiction to painkillers. His problems outside of the ring were sometimes integrated into his angles. Notwithstanding these issues, he won numerous titles during his career. In WWF/E, he was a 1 time WWE Champion, 4 time Tag Team Champion, 1 time United States Champion, 2 time Intercontinental Champion and 2 time European Champion. He was also posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006.
He also held the United States Heavyweight Championship once and Cruiserweight Championship twice in WCW and Television Championship twice in ECW. Upon his sudden and unexpected death, Guerrero was paid tribute by many of his fellow wrestlers as an exceptionally skilled technical wrestler and a passionate and caring individual.
Early life
Guerrero came from a legendary wrestling family. His father, Gory Guerrero, was a Wrestler in Mexico, a prominent wrestling trainer and an influential figure in Mexican professional wrestling. Fighting alongside with El Santo. His three brothers Chavo Guerrero, Hector Guerrero, and Mando Guerrero all followed in their father's footsteps and became professional wrestlers. Guerrero's nephew, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. also became a wrestler, while his uncle Enrique Llanes and cousin Javier Llanes wrestled in Mexico. As a boy, Guerrero's father allowed him and Chavo Jr. to wrestle one another during intermissions in the wrestling promotions that Gory held. Gory held wrestling promotions for nearly 15 years in the El Paso Coliseum.
Guerrero was born in and raised in El Paso, Texas and attended the University of New Mexico as well as New Mexico Highlands University on an athletic scholarship, where he wrestled collegiately, before returning to El Paso to train as a professional wrestler.
Teaming & Feuding with Rey Mysterio (2005)
At No Way Out, Eddie teamed up with longtime friend and sometimes rival, Rey Mysterio and defeated Basham Brothers to win his final title, the WWE Tag Team Championship for a fourth time, with being it Mysterio's third reign.Many expected the new champions to defend their title at WrestleMania 21, but after encouragement from Chavo, instead Guerrero challenged Rey to a one-on-one match so they could "bring the house down." The two wrestled a match at WrestleMania with Mysterio getting the win. Although visibly frustrated, Guerrero congratulated his partner. After several mishaps in the weeks following WrestleMania, the growing tension between Guerrero and Mysterio finally erupted when they lost their tag team title to new team MNM (Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury) on the April 21 edition of SmackDown!. Although next week, they received a rematch to regain the titles, Guerrero turned heel once again by abandoning his partner, whom he had considered "his family" earlier in the show.
At the end of one episode of SmackDown!, he viciously and emotionlessly beat up his former tag team partner, Mysterio, leaving him bruised and bloody after suplexing him onto a set of steel steps. Guerrero then adopted a new, somewhat sociopathic gimmick. During this time, he also stopped driving his low-riders down the ring and walked to the ring with a frown on his face, and reverted to using the Lasso from El Paso as his finishing move. At Judgment Day, Guerrero lost to Mysterio by disqualification after hitting Mysterio with a chair.
On the June 30 edition of SmackDown!, Guerrero threatened to reveal a secret about Mysterio and his son Dominick. The storyline grew to involve the families of both men, with both sides pleading for Guerrero not to reveal the secret. Mysterio defeated Guerrero again at The Great American Bash, a match with a stipulation that if Guerrero lost, he would not tell the secret. Yet Guerrero revealed the secret anyway on the following episode of SmackDown! - telling Dominick and the audience that Guerrero was his real father. In the following weeks, Guerrero revealed the details of the secret in a series of what he called "Eddie's Bedtime Stories." During that time he now had a dark comical gimmick. He claimed that he had a child out of wedlock (Dominick) while his marriage was going through hard times. He claimed he then allowed Mysterio and his wife, who were "having trouble conceiving," to adopt the child as their own. At SummerSlam, Guerrero lost a ladder match over Dominick's custody to Mysterio. Their emotional feud ended at the premiere edition of SmackDown!, where Guerrero finally gained a victory over Mysterio in a steel cage match.
Death
On November 13, 2005, Guerrero was found unconscious in his hotel room (The Marriott City Center) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by his nephew, Chavo. Chavo attempted CPR, but Eddie was pronounced dead when paramedics arrived on the scene, leaving behind his widow Vickie Guerrero, now working for WWE Smackdown brand, and their two daughters, Shaul and Sherilyn. He also left behind a daughter, Kaylie, from a separate relationship.
An autopsy revealed that Guerrero died as a result of acute heart failure, caused by undiagnosed arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Although Guerrero had not taken alcohol or illicit drugs for nearly four years, his past excesses contributed to his heart failure.
Guerrero's wife Vickie said that he had been lethargic and unwell in the week preceding his death, but it had been attributed to the stress of continuously traveling and performing. She added that the doctors had told her that Guerrero's blood vessels had shriveled and weakened owing to undiagnosed heart disease, and that he had simply dropped into a deep sleep.
On the November 30 edition of WWE Byte This!, Chavo said that Guerrero had been working very hard and was at peak physical fitness as a result, doing cardiovascular and weight training exercises every day. There had been no symptoms or cause for concern. Chavo noted that, while many people abuse drugs for over ten years with no ill effects, Guerrero had suffered heart complications that were not detected in time to prevent his death, even though he had ceased his drug abuse some four years earlier.
