How the heck did he not perform CPR!!!!

[@candacepoe188]

​​@@user-hz8ns5ii1y they it may have helped unfortunately it only would have kept him alive for a few hours. It honestly depends on the severity of your heart condition this wasn't mild and Eddie had an enlarged heart ❤️ and organs which is called organomeagly 😢. His body couldn't take anymore 🥺 it was not 🚫 enough oxygen 😭 going to his heart or organs due to the overgrowth.

[@christophermillsap5064]

This was probably the most detailed explanation of the night of Eddie’s passing. Truly heartbreaking to hear, especially from Chavo.

[@blacksunday4231]

I could just feel the raw emotion and pain from Chavo when he was reliving the story. That part absolutely crushed me.

I know. You never knew exactly what happened. How traumatic and awful. Eddie was such a ray of light.

[@ghostofaforgottenweedle]

You can tell by Chavo's voice that thinking about Chris Benoit's initial reaction to Eddies passing was harder than thinking about Eddie's death itself. It was the moment Chris Benoit died too.

Eddie meant so much to El Paso. In 2017 I randomly bumped into an artist painting a mural of him on a freeway pillar and learned about Eddie's legacy. I shared it on Instagram and Eddie's wife and fam saw it and flew down to see it in person. Seeing this man's influence after hs death was very inspiring.

@@eazybucketz_23 wwe Sullivan n couple of henchies in the hotel n someone who didnt like him. He had toothpaste in his mouth so you know he was killed. Given tainted steroids. Not a normal death not even a heavy steroid user like Roddy Piper may he rip, John Cena nor Batista suffered a death like that. It was a setup. He was Chris best friend and if he was killed first then it would be harder to kill Chris Benoit because they where so close in real life. He died for either sacrifice or it goes deeper. Chris is "killed" Then Chris sends messages to people after he died? The neighbor was acting suspicious during investigation. No breakin but Chris did feel like he was followed home. Small town small police solves small problems. A big conspiracy look more into it the police located near the mason lodge and the coroners did a messy job identifying some blood on Chris body. Even Nancy and The son had xanax so they wouldnt fight back. They where sedated with two chemical medicines and consumer reacts like a person on sedation. Chris was killed afterwards. When Sullivan is asked about it he turns red and chuckles in an interview. What you have here was a setup and his henchies did the dirty job. Look into it more youll see how Chris did infact take Nancy away from Kevin Sullivan. It's all there. Just like tupac was killed it was a set-up. Elite control wwe and occult does exist buddy. Open your eyes we're not in 1990 anymore. What you believe not to be true has been revealed as truth 2023. The investigation was messy. Look into it there's so much dirty details on the people who investigated his death and so much evil people behind his death. Money talks.

I feel bad for the younger generation who didn’t get to see Eddie perform, I was lucky enough to see his whole WWF/E run and when he really started to catch the audience in 04 and 05, him winning the belt against Lesnar was probably the most crazy thing I’ve ever seen growing up as a kid cause I thought Brock just couldn’t be beaten, and his title reign was so great and I remember being mad as a kid that he lost to JBL and from the moment he won the belt I was even bigger fan of his and when he passed I don’t think I’ve ever cried that much over someone passing it was like losing someone I knew personally it hurt that bad as a kid and even now as a grown man I miss Eddie…

I remember the day of his death vividly. It was the day after my birthday that year. I woke up and checked WWE's site and saw the memorial image for Eddie and my immediate thought was "huh, must be a new storyline". Then I actually read the article. A month later, my highschool girlfriend passed away from cancer. 2005 was not a fun year.

I was 11 when this happened. It was very heartbreaking.

[@prize5ighter]

I was 8 when he passed away and this was a time when I was kinda away from wrestling as my Dad didn't used to allow me to watch WWE. I remember watching a video back in 2010 or 2011, when I got to know about Eddie's passing. A KZbin video titled "Eddie is still alive" and it had a black screen for a while without any audio and suddenly changes to his theme "Viva La Raza" and that literally gave me goosebumps as a 13-14 year old. When I recall that video now, it was such a cheap trick as we've seen over the years about videos taking about and "showing" footage of Owen Hart's fall but nonetheless that video about Eddie was a little bit good.

[@jonathanramos8414]

Today at the age of 26, being an alcohol addict for over 7 months, I've been finding ways how my "heroes" and wrestling individuals tried to beat their addiction battles be it Eddie Guerrero who was 4 years sober and had reached the peak of his career. I also happened to think about Jox Moxley who got into rehab and healed himself. I hope someday, I also get over my addiction and live a sober life and become a responsible and valuable adult.

Chris Benoit's Fate Was Sealed The Day Eddie Died

[@loganmyall660]

I'm not so sure his fate wasn't sealed already. He had the brain if an 85 year old Alzheimer's patient. It's desperately unfortunate that Chris didn't have the knowledge of what diving headbutts would do to him.

[@user-oh6eg4ny3h]

Yea his signature move the flying head butt sealed his fate along with the other hits he took like chair shots or others hits in general. All wrestlers were playing with fire with CTE unknowngly. But Chris because of his flying head butt made him play with fire but also putting gasoline on himself. Other wrestlers did get hit but they didn’t have the signature move like Chris. Example. Undertaker with his tombstone doesn’t put his head at risk verses the flying headbutt Again not saying Chris had the worst injury of cte compared to other wrestlers but I do know that Chris flying head butt certainly made things harder for him

[@ShadeMoneh]

I remember the day I learned Eddie died. I was 13 years old at the time, and Eddie had become one of my fav wrestlers of all time during 2003-2005. At first I didn't believe it, and thought it was like an "Undertaker died" thing, but no, it was the real deal. I remember watching the tribute to him on Raw that week, and fighting back tears the entire night, as well as the next day at school. I got home to an empty house afterschool, and just let every thing out. One of the most painful moments to his passing was seeing Benoit's reaction, and remembering their heartfelt moment at Wrestlemania 20 the previous year when they were both standing in the ring together as the champions. Watching this all these years later and hearing what Chavo experienced, Vickie's pain, as well as Benoit's reaction from the phone call...it still hurts as much as it did back in 2005. RIP to a legend.

I had the privilege to meet Eddie (and Rey mysterio since he was sitting with him) In the WrestleMania 20 weekend event back in 2004.

Going home shortly after and tuning into Monday night Raw seeing Vince break the news about one of my favorite wrestlers of all time pass away was when I really experienced Death as a kid take someone away I genuinely cared and rooted for. Eddie brought real amazing memories to me with his personality and passion for wrestling. I also really remember my dad and I just laughing and enjoying Eddie's cheating antics because it was so entertaining, it was real hard not to root for the carnal.

[@leonwatkins5072]

Even watching this back 1000 times it’s still hard to process Eddie was 1 in a million I remmber going to school that day just crying I had a lot of people bully me for it but I didn’t care 💔

[@jeezus1288]

Damn I miss Eddie. I was 8 years old when he passed away now I’m 26 and still claim him as one of my favorites. I’m glad wwe games still have him

[@xxxbigboidraco]

Was my favorite wrestler . I cried so much when Guerrero passed away. I used to love when he’d come out in the low rider. Literally would make my entire week waiting for wrestling then going to school & trying the moves next day lol. RIP LEGEND!

[@doshi066]

i love to this day the love for eddie, the tribute rey mysterio did playing his theme song at wrestlemania 39 was amazing! hearing that theme in an arena again was special, one of the best moments of mania that night.

[@Skreamies]

I haven't watched WWE for more than 15 years now, I think I just grew out of it after his passing with Eddie being one of my favourites, just watched this entry and it was instant goosebumps hearing that intro music

[@duynambest1996]

Damn when Chavo said : " He's still there, man, and all of a sudden, he's not there anymore ". That will break a soul

[@christopherb.6720]

95 baby here. Eddie Guerrero was always one of my favorites. This is sad. RIP to a legend 🕊️

[@tbone777.]

I was in 6th grade when this happened. Was the first time I actually felt depressed in some sort of way. I cried for a week straight. Quit watching WWE all together. Eddie was a great role model for me especially as a Mexican-American as myself. Still miss him to this day. R.I.P. Latino Heat 🕊

[@jonathanward6483]

Cry, Cry again these men faced such pain as a family would, but not many of us have Millions in our Family. I still play the KZbin video's every so often, along with Chris's. Tragedy strikes in situations and times when we least expect it. Rest in peace Eddie, and Chris, a broken man.....

[@riush112]

When you hear that gargling it’s over. It’s a sound you can never unhear

[@Boss_Man00]

Chavo said he was in the washroom, in his underwear with his toothbrush in his hand… but Rey Mysterio said that he was laid down on the floor next to his bed, when Rey walked in?

[@TheToucherOfgrass]

Chris died when Eddie died

[@markosespada5707]

It's 9 am I don't wanna cry so early.. this story is the worst. RIP

[@timstort8223]

RIP Eddie, forever a legend.

[@SanveerRamterath]

My heart sank these two legends were stuck on.... They shared everything together.

[@AS-xv7fp]

2:27 that transition tho. Straight chills.

[@Trohawkk]

I loved Eddie he is one of the greatest! Eddie and Chris at WrestleMania with the belts always bring me back

[@jacobmcdowell9518]

Such tragedies this made me really tear up God bless they're families if you knew these guys they really knew how to light up the room wherever they went . They'll be eternally missed by everyone.

[@murd15]

Eddie's death led to Benoit death. 😔

[@mohaimenulislam8782]

Benoit was murdered

[@pepsiaxe2937]

Don't blame the murder of an innocent child and women on Eddie Guerrero

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

As if that wouldn't have happened anyway

[@Jondav95]

It wouldn’t have happened. Benoit was suicidal, but Eddie stopped him several times before.

[@murd15]

@@Jondav95 you can tell who are the real fans

[@parisgray7229]

Met Eddie Bakersfield along with his Dad late 2000 great guy always will continue too love his Legacy.

[@ShadyShady-di6dn]

Daym 30 years old and this still hurts i remember this and chris

[@SaltStorm007]

He was one of my favorites as a kid💯

[@SaltStorm007]

That is HORRIBLE to find your relative like that.....I couldn’t begin to imagine how rough that was/is💯🙏 If I remember correctly, it was heart failure or something to do with the heart🤔If i’m wrong let me know (just saw the last part of the video, it was his heart....at 38🤯)but unfortunately That is one of the side effects of steroids. Hope that everyone watching has a blessed week🙏

[@kevindidomizio5368]

Eddie was my favorite Wrestler he passed away 10 days before my 13th birthday. And it hit me hard he was the best and I still miss Eddie

[@dolleedollee]

My siblings and I were just kids when we would watch WWE but one night it was announced Eddie passed away. Never knew how he died. This is heartbreaking 😢

[@SUPERCOOLEO]

I cried so hard when I found out. I’ll never forget that day.

[@user-by6yc8yl7v]

The story of these two is legit you can't make this stuff up type of stuff.

[@r34chickie]

so sad. R.I.p. heart goes out to the family an friends

[@jackrincon2871]

I was 5 years old when Eddie died it breaks my heart that my childhood was never surrounded by growing up on Eddie Guerrero this got total nonstop heartbreaking

[@ArmaniXperience]

Eddie’s death hurt and so did Chris’ until the details came out regarding what he did to his family.

[@Dark5ide12]

I was in tears when both Eddie and Chris passed away.They were my favorite wrestlers growing up

[@figuartsdioramas]

On Oct 16, 2005 there was a smack down house show in Bakersfield, CA where I live. I was 12 at the time and Eddie Guerrero was my favorite wrestler. I was so excited to go see him in person! Unfortunately I couldn’t go because my grandpa was on his death bed and we knew he could pass any day. So we went out of town to LA that Sunday to say our goodbyes. I remember thinking “I’ll have to see Eddie next time they come to town” but a few weeks later he was gone 😢

[@Chris-ze3dq]

I randomly ran into Eddie at a Jamba Juice in Orange, California. I believe WrestleMania 16 was in town. Super nice guy, had small talk with him and we went our separate ways. RIP brother!

[@Eli-wr3xw]

Man I didn’t realize how close Benoit and Eddie were it’s such tragedy what happened 😢

[@tormentorxl2732]

Don’t do steroids my friends. This is a fate shared by many who fall into that trap.

[@ChelseaAlb95]

It had much more to do with painkillers than steroids

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

​@@ChelseaAlb95it was everything

[@one-wingedangel5107]

To me steroids is like medicine, helps in small amounts but harmful in large doses, that's what you should be careful about. Don't get addicted to their benefits

[@redrick8900]

No it isn't. I've known tons of guys that did steroids and none of them much as slapped their girlfriends, much less murdered their families.

[@_joyrd_]

@@redrick8900depends if u a snappy person on a regular then don’t take ts

[@timelesscomedytm7130]

Really would love to get another season ! Hopefully you guys change your mind !
