Why Do People Respect Eddie Geurrero? **READ DETAILS**?
Question by Clark W-Angel Buffy Chosen: Why do people respect Eddie Geurrero? **READ DETAILS**?
Okay, before I get a bunch of angry answers, please READ THE DETAILS below.
I know that Eddie was a very popular wrestler. I know that he was extremely talented and that a lot of people really liked him. What I don’t understand though is why he is so revered.
Yes, he was spectacular in the ring. However, he was without a doubt a raging drug addict. It’s been well documented that he was often so stoned out that he couldn’t even see straight. Now it’s true that guys like Shawn Michaels had similar problems at times, but Shawn cleaned himself up. He realized that he had a problem and he got better. In my books, THAT is admirable and deserving of respect.
But Eddie never did. He just kept sinking lower and lower until his substance abuse killed him. He was a mess from injuries and he was in no shape to be wrestling.
Now, I recognize how hard he worked to get to the top of WWE. I do. But it is still no excuse for being a drug addict, and the fact is, that is what he was.
Again, I’m not trying to slag on Eddie Geurrero, I just want to understand why people respect him so much. Please give good answers here. Feel free to disagree with me, but any outright insulting answers will be reported.
Best answer:
Answer by Tim W
Because like Shawn Michaels, Eddie did clean himself up. The reason his death is such a tragedy is that pretty much once he had finally sorted his life out and reached the top of his profession his body gave out. He didn’t die of a drug overdose. He died of the cumulative effects all the drugs he had taken in the past had on his body. He had cleaned himself up but the drugs killed him anyway.
