Latino Heat RIP

He's a human being. During his life, he was an entertainer, which doesn't make him different than any other actor or comedian.

Word up

agreed

[Verto]

Oh dear god, is that your sig!?

[Sava]

and celebrities' lives are more important than the rest of ours...



(especially scumbag wrestlers who abuse drugs, alcohol, and probably steroids.... and god knows what else)

[Gibsie]

Jesus Christ, will all you Verto-esque pieces of **** get the **** out of this thread. It's bad enough when you have a wrestling thread and morons come in saying, "hurr-hurr, it's fixed you know" but to have people coming into a thread mourning the death of a good man is taking the piss.

All I'm saying is, what has this man done that makes his death so much more news worthy than anyone elses? Is it so much more honorable to abuse drugs and alcohol, and THEN kick the habit, than it is to NEVER fall into that trap in the first place? Or are we honoring him because he was a "pro wrestler"?

which thread?


this one?


if Eddie Guerrero is a good man, I'd hate to see your definition of a bad man



hooray for low standards

[Grandpa Troll]

maybe none could measure up Sava

maybe he was a good man for trying to right his wrong

i posted here because this man is dead and he did fight to stop the demons

thats all I would say
oh and not one person could probably past the litnus test for being a good man

[Sava]

that's a fair position to hold Gramps

I admire you for thinking that way

however I don't agree with you, I'll just leave it at that

originally I was just going to quote ixnay and be done with it

someone else had to take the discussion outside the thread

not naming any names

this person brought up some points I didn't agree with and I felt I had to comment further

I'm not here to insult the guy (Guerrero), but I take issue with people calling him a role model and putting him on a pedastal, etc.

[Ted Striker]

VIVA LA RASA!!!


Sorry to hear about Eddy.

I remember when he jumped off the top rope and dislocated his elbow, man, that looked painful, he had alot of problems with that elbow.

[DinoDoc]

I remember enjoying him while I watched it. Sad to hear he died.

[Pekka]

yeah if you want to bash Eddie then make another thread for it, because this is not bashing thread.

People who take them too seriously can't understand that Eddie was a GREAT entertainer, millions of people saw him, entertaining, and he was a great athlete.

It's true that there's lots of steroid use in pro wrestling. It's true that heavy usage is likely to cause an early death. It's very likely that either steroids or pain killers or drugs caused the early death. I say pain killers and drugs because many athletes are so broken up that they get addicted to pain killers and even drugs because of it. Tough business.

None of the less it doesn't take anything away from his ability to bring a smile on peoples faces.

[DRoseDARs]

/me skips over most of this thread.

I assume the cause of death was his heart exploding. That guy was huge, so I would imagine he took a lot of "supplements" that probably weren't all that healthy for him. Perhaps that bee stinger-whatever crap he was in commercials promoting did him in.

I never liked "pro" wrestling but I did know of this guy and I kinda liked him. Damn shame.

[The Emperor Fabulous]

pro wrestlers should not be role models

when did I say they should be? read closely, young one

He was able to turn his life around, to quit the drugs and the alcohol, to bring his family closer, and become a role model his kids could look up to.

And if I think what you say is terrible, I'll let you know it.

[The Mad Viking]

RIP Eddy.
