EDDIE GUERRERO DEATH TV
Like many American fans, I had first become aware of Eddie through his battles against Dean Malenko for the ECW TV title in the mid-90s. When news broke of the death of Eddie Guerrero, I had to sit down. Maybe he slipped around the corner for a cup of coffee, or maybe he’s chatting up someone down the hall.

We fondly look back on Eddie’s finest moments in and out of the ring, including that masterpiece from 1994! Eddie Guerrero remains one of the greatest and most influential wrestlers of his generation.
