Still Lying, Cheating & Stealing

On the first aniversary of Eddie Guerrero's death I decided to have another view of the documentary the WWE created during his world title reign.

The title; Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story sums it all up as it details how the professional wrestler succumbed to alcohol and painkillers and ended up nearly dead.

When fired from his job in the WWE he realised he needed to mend his ways and decided to seek assistance with his issues. The help resulted in him being resigned with the company and then reaching the pinnacle of the company. He became world champ.

The story ends with his triumph in the ring which mirrored how he had triumphed in his battle against the demons that had plagued him..

The real ending wasn't a happy one, however. Eighteen months after the piece was finished Eddie was found dead in his hotel room the morning before a big show after suffering a massive heart attack.

The legend of Latino Heat will live on.

Viva La Raza.
