![]() ![]() We loved the matches, watching the memories of Eddie was cracking us up. The tribute was amazing, I don't remember crying, and my brother didn't cry at first. It felt like the world WWE created, every story, every character, was all put on pause that night. Unfortunately, it wasn't a misunderstanding. I was young, I had trouble understanding emotions, it was my way of helping. Maybe it really was just a misunderstanding, I told him. We almost didn't watch RAW that night, but I talked him into it. I think it was more shock than anything else, I felt the same way. My brother froze, I couldn't really read his expression. Eddie Guerrero was his all-time favorite wrestler, so we went onto our computer to WWE's website. Was it a hoax? Was it a false report? I wasn't sure, but I remember my brother getting nervous. I didn't know how to process it, honestly. When we finally got inside, our mom told us the same, and the story was playing on the news. We didn't believe him, so we brushed it off. When I got home, one of my friends who lived next door to me, who was a huge wrestling fan like myself and my brother, told us he on the news that heard Eddie Guerrero died. I can't remember exactly when his death was announced on the news, but I remember going to school as normal. But this is rather personal for me, because I can still vividly remember where I was the day of the tribute on Monday Night RAW, and I can't say that about a lot of my childhood. I realize there are far more tragic events in the world, of course. One of my absolute favorites in the business, leaving so suddenly, without any warning, it still stings. On this day, eleven years ago, the world of professional wrestling lost a true legend: Eddie Guerrero. Today, November 13th, is the anniversary of something rather somber. ![]()
