Hi, kazuma from Japan. As you said in the article, we will mis him a lot...he's gone, but never forgotten... I hope this would be the well-planned joke...and Undertaker would bring a coffin to the mat..., where Eddie comes up from with a big smile...
even though I'm not a massive fan and only watch highly intermittantly, it's still odd whenever a wrestler passes. you do see them weekly doing things that you think no human should really do AND they're all bulked up. so you're taking this 300 pound guy who could easily bench-press Bill O'Reilly's ego and telling him "ok. so this other 300 pound guy is going to turn you upside down and 'drop' you on your head. ok? great" and this goes on for a few hours a week, it's truly amazing. then one dies. sometimes it's an Owen Hart where everyone pretty much knows what's going on and then sometimes you get something like an Eddie Guerrero where it's this freakish happenstance. either way, you see someone you admire fall from some strange form of grace. and true, not many people understand professional wrestling and do often relegate it to the land of the trailer park and "budweiser" logo caps and such... but let's see Barishnakov take a chair shot and keep going? these men and women are the vanguards of a culture that is accessible to the "

Like you, Mark, I too watched Hulk Hogan every saturday morning and rooted for the good guys. Hulk Hogan vs "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior.
When I grew up, I had my times of following Monday Night Raw, religiously. I wanted to know more, so I surfed the net and found some sites that had back stage info and all the story lines etc.
Not only was Eddie an amazing athlete, he was a genuinely good guy and a man of faith. I remember his bout with alcoholism. I remember when one fan poured beer all over him, a couple of months after he got out of rehab and he lost his shite. Started to beat the crap out of the guy. At the end of the show, he came out on stage and apologized to all for his actions.
Out of all that have passed on, I think, for me, Eddie will be the one who I will miss the most. Either heel or face, Eddie still laid everything out there, to the fans delight.
Rest in Peace Eddie, and one day, I hope to meet you in the big wrestling ring is the sky.
