![]() ![]() The entire middle of the book deals with how he would constantly screw up his life by drinking and at times, I’d be shaking my head at his story because it was written by a man who was embarrassed at his previous actions, but knew that he had to tell the entire story since he eventually overcame. But of course, that one turned into 10 and he’d find himself in places that he didn’t remember. He was an alcoholic and talked about how he knew that he shouldn’t be drinking, but if he could only control his appetite for alcohol to one drink, it’d be the best drink he’d ever had. But I knew if I kept on reading, I would be greeted with an inspiring comeback.Įddie’s addictions to alcohol and pain medication are legendary. There were many times where I cringed reading his depiction of how bad he was doing. But Eddie is just honest to a fault about his addictions and demons and takes full responsibility for his actions, never once blaming his time and place. ![]() Even Mick Foley would admit to changing things in order to not upset a few people in his two books. It’s the most honest wrestling autobiography I’ve ever read. Though the book doesn’t contain much information on the careers of Gory, Chavo, Hector, and Mando, Eddie story tells backward at times describing how the pressure of being a Guerrero would get to him and the fights he would get into with his brothers because of how hard they were on him. Eddie describes Santo as being bigger to the Mexican audience than Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin were to the US audience. His father Gory worked alongside El Santo as one half of La Pareja Atomica, being the worker of the twosome. Chavo, Mando, and Hector Guerrero were all wrestling stars of their own, but it was Eddie who became the biggest star of them all. But since Guerrero passed on November 13, 2005, it’s covered in ironies and sadness.Įddie was the youngest Guerrero of the famous Guerrero family, young enough to be close to the same age as his oldest brother’s son. The book, written by Guerrero and Michael Krugman, if read while Guerrero were still alive, would read just like an inspiring Rocky story. In what is some very unfortunate timing, a book that was going to be used to celebrate the life and overcoming of hardships of Eddie Guerrero, is now a look back at the life of a wrestler who is simply gone too soon. The book was very enjoyable and I probably need to reread it again sometime soon. I wanted to republish a review I wrote of his biography. ![]() I’m still bothered that I didn’t make the 60 mile drive to San Francisco to see it live. In a short time, Guerrero had become one of my favorite wrestlers ever, and one of my favorite moments as a wrestling fan ever was when he beat Brock Lesnar for the championship. It hit me over the head like very few wrestling deaths (but not as hard as one two years later would). I woke up and checked out the wrestling news and saw information about Guerrero suffering from a heart attack and passing away. We were hosting a Meet and Greet for our users. I remember exactly where I was when I heard that he passed away. Below we countdown to Eddie Guerrero upcoming birthday.Today is the 7th anniversary of the death of wrestling great, Eddie Guerrero.
