Tragic loss.

Wrestling is something special to me, always will be. There's many household names. Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, The Rock, all these guys are special. They did and still do things in the ring that are awesome. If it weren't for wrestling, life wouldn't be as cool.

There's several out there that aren't house hold names. Aren't known to everyone, just wrestling fans. Just because they didn't use the fame to get into movies, or didn't need the spectacle of it. These are the wrestlers that grind it out every night in the ring.

While Hulk Hogan waits for the show to go to a major city, guys like Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Triple H, Ric Flair, and Eddie Guerrero.

All of them are favorites of mine. Smackdown! was Eddie's place, and he, quite honestly was the reason I watched Smackdown.

Today, Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room. The details of his death are still unknown to me.

Eddie personified what wrestling is all about. In his footsteps, new wrestlers should strive to follow. He also is one of the reasons Lucha Libre came to the United States. He put a familiar face to it, and did it better than anyone else.

Eddie's adage was "Lie, Cheat, & Steal"

Yet at the end, he told the truth. Thanks for his friendship with Batista, we got to see Latino Heat at his best again. Rolling down to the ring in a different Low Rider every night. The master of the Three Amigos Suplexes. Also the master of the Frog Splash.

The shocking loss of Eddie will no doubt ripple all the way through the world of wrestling. Losing a great friend, and a great performer.

Thank you Eddie. Thank you for all the smiles, and all the excitement, and all the amazing moments.
