Viva La Raza!!

That was something that we heard coming from our television sets every Friday Night (formerly Thursday Night) from WWE's Smackdown! Tonight, it is my sad duty to write of the passing of Eddie "Latino Heat" Guerrero. He died in Minneapolis, Minnesota on November 12 / 13, 2005. As of yet, the cause of death is unknown as he was found in his hotel room Sunday morning.

Many of you may know Eddie Guerrero from when he came up with Dean Malenko, Chris Beniot, and Perry Saturn as 1/4 of The Radicalz. A lot of us know him as Latino Heat and his nephew Chavo Guerrero (Kerwin White / Monday Night RAW). Eddie has had a sordid life: Battling drug addiction(s), trouble with the law, and so on down the line.

However, he managed to get himself cleaned up and started to wrestle, coming from a long line of wrestlers in the Guerrero family. He was recently considered a "heel" and picked on Rey Mysterio, saying that he was Dominic's father, and battling Rey Rey on many occassions, losing matches to the smaller man. Eddie will be remembered for his HAWT low-riders, that made a come-back recently with the urgings from Champion Dave Batista (thanks Batista, I missed the cars).


RIP: Eddie "Latino Heat" Guerrero 1967 - 2005. VIVA LA RAZA!!!!!!!!
