eddie guerrero died sunday morning. he was 38 years old.
if you don't know who he is, he was one of the best, most talented wrestlers in the WWE. the cause of death is unknown at this time, but many seem to think it was heart failure and not drug related (as guerrero had a battle with drug and alcohol addiction in his past, but had been clean for four years now).
they did a tribute show to him last night on RAW. the one image that really sticks out was at the beginning of the show every wrestler from both brands (smackdown! and RAW) were out on the ramp and the camera was panning over all of them, and they got to the big show, whom mind you, is 7ft tall 500lbs, and this giant of a man was just bawling his eyes out.
i got to see eddie wrestle twice at live events. he was an amazing technical wrestler who wasn't afraid to put his body on the line and put everything he had out there for the fans to see. he could make you love him or hate him in a seconds time, but no matter whether he was playing the heel or face, he was always a favorite amongst fans.
eddie was from el paso, texas and was a fourth generation wrestler, basically being born into the wrestling world. he was the first luchadore wrestler to ever hold a professional title belt which he achieved at wrestlemania 20 in 2004.

as requested...
here are my answers to that dumb quiz:
1.) Tiger, Horse, Cow, Sheep, Pig
2.) Loyal, Independent, Creepy, Awake, Calm.
3.) Mel, Chuck, Monica, Kat & John, Rob.
i know you were only supposed to pick one person for each color, but in all honesty, both of those people came rushing into my head at the same time with the same amount of eagerness or whatever, so maybe i broke the rules, but it wouldn't be the first time.
