Eddie Guerrero, 1967-2005

He was an *outstanding* entertainer. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Guerrero family, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio and the entire professional wrestling community.

For those of you who haven't watched wrestling since you were 6 years old, Mr. Guerrero wrestled worldwide for several promotions, including the now-defunct World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment.

To this day, one of our favorite wrestling moments occurred at Wrestlemania XX, when Guerrero and Chris Benoit embraced in the center of the ring, both World Heavyweight Champions, both on top of the world.

Known in WWE as "Latino Heat," Guerrero's DVD highlights his struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. It's sad when anyone beats his demons and comes out on top, and then is taken too soon.

Rest in peace, Mr. Guerrero.
