A small article ont he cause of the death is up too - [www.wwe.com]
So I guess he kinda had it coming...but it sure is pretty sad considering he was clean the past 4 years. Was a funny guy. Always was entertaining and always made me laugh with his antics. Great inring performer too.
Thoughts go out to his wife and 3 young girls. He's gonna be missed

all more or less the same case. dont forget Curt Henning ('Mr perfect'
as well passed away a couple years ago.
Nice article by former WWE wrestler Andrew Martin ('Test'. Worth a read before anyone goes slagging off these WWE wrestlers for being fake puppets on steriods.
"I've been up all night and haven't really slept as everyone knows by know Eddie Guerrero has passed away. Everybody knows Eddie had his demons but he had been clean for a long time, it was way too soon for him to go and he leaves behind 3 beautiful young daughters and a wonderful life my heart goes out to them. Eddie was a huge help to me he helped me progress in the ring and we even wrestled at wrestlemania in houston in 2001 for the european championship. Eddie i pray you are in a better place and THANKYOU for everything you taught me. Now instead of usually talking about what I'm up to I'm going to break down the reality of this business we call wrestling. When I say "who's next" I'm not coining Goldbergs line I'm actually wondering who's next? who's next to die? I can think of at least 15 to 20 people who have died from various things mostly prescription pain killers. For all you wanna be wrestlers who wanna get in this business..escpecially now when wwe doesn't pay you anymore than you would make at a 9 to 5 job let me break some things down for you. When I started wrestling I had never seen or heard of vicodin or percocet or soma. How come so many wrestlers die from these medications and football players and hockey players don't? The answer is simple..wrestlers especially wwe wrestlers work 5 days a week all year long taking bump after bump in the ring, A doctor explained it to me like this..everytime you take a fall in the ring it's like gettin rear ended by a car going 20mph so how many bumps in the ring a night do you take? multiply that by how many times a week you work all year long..that's a hell of a lot of whiplash and pain. I can remember hearing a conversation from some unamed wwe head guys talking about how this certain person needs to go to rehab but they couldnt send him because he was too important to the show..that's the reality people that is how we are treated...look at me I break my neck in the ring had to have 2 discs taken out of my neck and a steel plate put in and was told at the time by Johnny Ace and his exact words were, when I asked if my job would be in jeopardy he said "we don't fire people with injuries like that" Hmm that's funny cause 2 months after surgery I got fired because I wasn't working my 7 years of busting my ass for them and putting over the bosses son while my foot was broken in a cast was all forgotten about. I remember when I was being trained by Bret and I met 'Bad News' Allen he said this to me and I'll never forget it "all wrestlers are to Vince are puppets and when he is done playing with you he throws you away but sometimes he'll dust you off bring you back and play with you some more" That is the truth people...when Johnny Ace called me and told me they were releasing me, which of course he put all the heat on Vince...I said to him what kind of message are you sending the boys that if they get hurt they are going to get fired? So all the guys who don't want to lose their jobs what do they do...pop a couple of percocet or vicodin and mask the pain cause god forbid they say they are hurt and lose their job...I'm not going to name any names but I know at least a dozen or so wrestlers who are addicted to these things for that very reason...get hurt lose your job...I just turned 30 my back aches everyday, I have a metal plate in my neck and yes I got in the business at the right time and have a lot of nice things but is it all worth it? you guys don't see the ugly side of this business..yes wrestling is entertainment but the bumps and bruises are real and sometimes they don't go away...so think long and hard before you get in this business cause I can tell you first hand that if you're not working or making them money they don't give a @#$%& about you....and the sad part is Eddie was clean and I guarantee he won't be the last one to die in the next 12 months..so that's why i say who's next? Don't take your life for granted it's a gift..don't go to bed mad and tell the people you care about you love them because you never know....take care "

Wow, shocking :|. Wrestling is for entertainment only, the staged fights but the amount of work the people put in it is just extremely high, the guys can't be slagged off for that. Anyways, I'm with Mikey there, can anyone post info on those other wrestlers? I never knew they died 
It came as a shock to me too...I saw something in the local paper about a dead wrestler....i thought it would be Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan or one of those other active wrestler dinosaurs, but the death of Eddie Guerrero, one of the most technical and entertaining wrestlers ever in the WWE in the last 5 years, struck me hard.
Admittedly, I'm a wrestling fan. I know its all fake/staged, but I've been a fan with the WWF/WWE ever since I was about 10, and I rather like the spectacle, the sportsmanship, and the *staged* punchups...its good escapement
Eddie's matches with Kurt Angle, Rey Mysterio, and even Brock Lesnar were ones for the ages. He will be sorely missed RIP Eddie.
@ Guimengo, check out this website for those wrestlers who have passed on...many those I have never heard of...some of those stick in my mind.

its a shame that most wrestlers do die realtively young cos of all the bodybuilding they do, mainly heart attacks. some don't even make it past their 30's.
here's a site i looked at a few weeks back:
Dead Wrestlers
RIP Jules, never to be forgotten. #KeepFightingMichael
