(WCCO) Minneapolis World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room in Minneapolis, the organization said Sunday. Guerrero, 38, was found at the Marriott City Center in downtown Minneapolis. He was in town for Sunday night's "WWE Supershow" TV taping at Target Center. Police were called to the hotel just after 7:30 a.m. and attempts were made to revive the wrestler, Minneapolis Police Department spokesperson Ron Reier said. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner was at the hotel. Additional information on Guerrero's death was not immediately available. Guerrero was a featured star on the UPN series "WWE Smackdown!" and the subject of a full-length DVD titled "Cheating Death, Stealing Life." Son of legendary Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero has also wrestled with World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling, among other federations. His nephew, Chavo Guerrero, Jr., also wrestles with WWE. Guerrero grew up in El Paso, Texas. He was married with two children that news is so sad. too many guys in the industry die young. he was man enough to admit a couple of years ago he had a drug problem and got his life back on track. so sad and one of the best in the business.
Hmm.. As a passive wrestling fan who keeps an eye on things, I'm stunned to be honest. Rumours of drugs and of a chairshot he took at the last show are doing the rounds. Going to the wrestling at Sheffield next week with some of my uni roomates, should be a laugh- get very drunk beforehand, hehe.
Taken my son to a few , when he was younger . Absolutely hilarious and great entertainment . The shows lasted up to three hours and were full value for money .
Eddie the video on www.wwe.com of the press conference his boss and nephew did is working dodgy like. probably too many people wanting to view it. it keeps getting buffed.
RE: Hmm.. his last show with the chairshot was filmed last tuesday though and it was just a normal chairshot, the chair was closed and eddie was stood still. he did the usual laying 'unconcious' thing and then got up and walked away when the camera was cut. Of course it still could have been connected
