Eddie Guerrero Appreciation Thread

Eddie Guerrero grew up surrounded by wrestling. His father, Gory Guerrero, and his brothers all made their name in wrestling while Eddie grew up. When Eddie grew up, he, too, made his name in the wrestling business. When he teamed up with Art Barr, he became one half of the most hated tag teams in Lucha Libre history. In Japan, Eddie found success under the Black Tiger mask, winning the 1996 Top of the Super Juniors tournament, pinning both Wild Pegasus and Jushin "Thunder" Lyger. In WCW, he held the WCW Cruiserweight and U.S. Titles, while holding the WWF/E Intercontinental and European Titles during his initial WWE run. He would go on to become World Tag Team Champion with Chavo Guerrero, Jr, before he accomplished his goal, becoming WWE Champion in 2004. In 2005, his life came to a tragic end in Minneapolis, where he was found dead by Chavo in his hotel room. Two tribute shows were held that night(which I was at). Eddie left behind an incredible legacy, with success following him where ever he went. His Brainbusters and Frog Splash are among the best you'll ever see.
6 Years ago he was found dead in a hotel room.
