Professional wrestler Eddie Guerrero joins the list of wrestling stars who have died under mysterious circumstances at relatively young ages. Guerrero was found dead in a Minneapolis hotel room Sunday morning, just hours before a sold out WWE match he was scheduled to perform at was to occur.
The Sunday evening show was being revamped as a tribute to Guerrero, and will air Monday evening. His nephew, fellow WWE wrestler Chavo Guerrero, traveled with him to Minneapolis and found him in his room Sunday morning after Guerrero missed a wakeup call. Guerrero had just celebrated his fourth anniversary of sobriety from drug and alcohol addictions that nearly ended his professional career and marriage.
Video of a press conference featuring Vince McMahon and Chavo Guerrero can be seen here.
The list of deceased stars from the golden era of the WWE (known at the time as the WWF) and other regional wrestling promotions is a very long list, and features some well known names. Names such as:
- Curt “Mr. Perfect” Henning
Rick Rude
Terry Gordy.
Davey Boy Smith
Brian Pillman
Hercules Hernandez
Road Warrior Hawk
Owen Hart
Miss Elizabeth
The Big Boss Man
Crash Holly
The Von Erich’s (Kerry, Mike, David, and Chris)
Junkyard Dog
Big John Studd
Andre The Giant
And hundreds more. Of those, only Owen Hart died in the ring. The rest typically died of sudden heart attack or drug overdoses. It might be scripted entertainment in the ring, but outside the ring a high death rate lingers behind their time in the ring.

Eddie Guerrero was a really good wrestler.When my cousin Adam told me he died like 7 years after the event or something i didn’t care much,but i have Smackdown VS Raw 2006 for PS2 and i looked at Eddie Guerrero on it and he was wicked,probally even better than his CPU on the game.I really,really miss him.However he is in a better place where you can die but it is like a game where you respawn were the event happened.Well….At least i think you can or you can not die at all.Rest In Peace Eddie my freind,if anyone knows where his grave is,i will go on holiday to that country and give him some Flowers or something he can remember like a picture of him or a Plastic Title Belt with his name on.I will remember you always,and please dont take this as a offensive word,but im sorry from when i said you were rubbish and when i almost defeated you in 9 seconds but you defeated me in 3 after on the game Smackdown vs Raw 06.Bye Bye Edd 😉
