RIP Eddie Guerrero

It's not like I'm a huge, obsessive wrestling fan. In fact, I'm not really a fan at all. My husband watches wrestling (not nearly as much as when we met), my oldest son watches wrestling (and is a founding member of ACW - Apartment Championship Wrestling), and I've actually been to a few live events. (Remember the infamous ECW event, Misty?)


In order to successfully mesh with your family of wrestling watchers, it is best that you pick a favorite wrestler, and a favorite wrestling move. I picked the move first. The Frog Spash. Classic wrestling move, the move which brought Eddie Guerrero his fame. In keeping with the theme, I decided what the heck, I'll take Eddie as my favorite wrestler. It should be obvious to you that I am not a sports fan. I choose all my favorite teams in much the same manner - either I like their colors or the city they are from. It doesn't get much deeper than that, does it?


My friend, Misty, just called me with the news. I figured I'd give the guy a little tribute post. You can read the headlines here.

In the world of wrestling, the pictures are worth so much more than the words.

RIP Eddie, RIP! Smackdown is not going to be the same tonight!!!

I am pretty sure Todd may have cried today!

An yes I remember some of ECW Wrestling. I remember drinking heavily before the event, showing up at the event (but not remembering how) and then leaving to go drink more. It was the best night of wrestling EVA! Beside our naked mud wrestling up at Kings Mill!

I am a real nerd when it comes to wrestling. But all I know is, 38 is much much too young to die! Poor guy and his poor family! RIP, indeed.

Joyously roaming through life. Meeting its topographical challenges, and facing each with a sarcastic wit, and an impetuous need to face even more bumps, dips, pits and peaks. How the hell else did I end up with a 22 year old, a 20 year old and a 4 year old?
