    I wouldn't be surprised if they did that on Friday. And Monday is the tribute show.

    I'm not sure if anyone lives in the Minneapolis area, but this looks to be the big story going on. They've got some pictures too: http://wcco.com/topstories/local_story_317110540.html

    Eddy Guerrero passes away

    http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/5724133.html When World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler Eddie Guerrero didn't answer his wakeup call Sunday and didn't respond to a knock on his hotel-room door, security and Guerrero's nephew forced their way into his room and found the 5-feet-8, 220-pound superstar on the floor, said Minneapolis police. Efforts to resuscitate the 38-year-old weren't successful and the WWE was suddenly thrust into the task of finding the delicate balance between continuing with tonight's wrestling show while paying tribute to one of its biggest attractions. "This is a huge loss," said WWE chairman Vince McMahon. "Eddie was a wonderful, fun-loving human being. Eddie was a consummate performer." "I know Eddie would want the show to go on," said his nephew and fellow WWE wrestler, Chavo Guerrero. Chavo Guerrero said he found his uncle dead shortly after 7 a.m. in his room at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Police said there are no signs of foul play or indications that Guerrero's death was a suicide. His death is under investigation. Chavo Guerrero and McMahon said Guerrero was open about his past drug and alcohol abuse but they said he'd celebrated four years of sobriety just days ago. Whether or not his past chemical abuse factored into his death is unknown, McMahon said. Guerrero was in the Twin Cities with 60 to 80 other wrestlers to film "Friday Night Smackdown" at the Target Center. Guerrero became WWE champion in February 2004, when he defeated Brock Lesnar, a former University of Minnesota wrestling standout. Guerrero lost the title four months later. Guerrero was featured on the UPN series "WWE Smackdown!" and was the son of Mexican wrestler Gory Guerrero. He is survived by his wife Vickie and daughters Shaul, 14; Sherilyn, 9, and Kaylie Marie, 3. In May 2004, UPN aired the special "Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story." The one-hour program chronicled his childhood and his struggle with drug addiction that almost cost him his job, family and life before his recovery and eventual capture of the WWE championship. Guerrero was born into Mexico's first family of professional wrestling, and grew up in El Paso, Texas. He and his three older brothers were all wrestlers. His drug escapades as an adult included flipping his car going 130 miles per hour while taking Ecstasy. Doctors told the family that it was unlikely he would survive. From there, he went numerous binges abusing cocaine, alcohol and pain killers. He was fired by the WWE, his wife filed for divorce, and the IRS seized his wages. After recovery, he remarried his wife, reclaimed his job and became the second wrestler of Hispanic heritage to be WWE champion. While a cause of death for Guerrero wasn't immediately known, the pro wrestling profession has seen numerous premature deaths in recent years, some tied directly to steroid use. In a March 2004 report, USA Today said that at least 65 wrestlers had died since 1997 - 25 from heart attacks or other coronary problems. Many had enlarged hearts. In five of the 25 deaths, medical examiners found that steroids might have played a role. Excessive steroid use can lead to an enlarged heart. In 12 others, coroners cited evidence of use of painkillers, cocaine and other drugs. Steroids played a role in the deaths of several pro wrestlers since 1997, USA Today reported. Among them: Curt Hennig, 44, died of acute cocaine intoxication in 2003. His father said a lethal combination of steroids and painkillers contributed to his death. Davey Boy Smith (the British Bulldog), 39,died in 2002 of an enlarged heart with evidence of microscopic scar tissue, possibly from steroid abuse, a coroner said. Louie (Spicolli) Mucciolo, 27, died from coronary disease in 1998. Investigators found an empty vial of the male hormone testosterone, pain pills and an anxiety-reducing drug. Richard (Ravishing Rick Rude) Rood, 40, died from an overdose of "mixed medications" in 1999. (Flyin') Brian Pillman, 35, was taking painkillers and human-growth hormone when he died from heart disease in 1997, his widow said. Staff writer Paul Walsh contributed to this report.

    Chavo looked pretty tired if you ask me. It looks like it's starting to take a toll on him.

    I know that it's hard to talk about what to do tonight, but I'd honestly strongly consider cancelling the show and refunding everyone. I'd replace RAW this week with the Eddie Guerrero DVD in honor of him, edited for TV time, and on Friday night I'd have a Eddie Guerrero's best matches or something like that in order to save time on UPN and USA> Then next week, have a live tribute on RAW...and go from there. I don't see that happening, but that's how I'd handle the situation. It's going to be hard enough to go on the European Tour for everyone, let alone try to wrestle tonight.

    I wonder if they're going to rewrite the entire Supershow tonight or just cancel it altogether.

    This is easily the most shocking death since Owen. I know Eddie's had tons of problems in the past, but seriously. This is just unreal.

    That was...different.

    LOST

    But either way he let him die. Jack's been the type of character when other people have told him to stop, he won't. That was one of the few times that he's chosen to let someone go, despite what Boone said. The Marshal would be another one of those. Remember when Jack saved Charlie? He just couldn't let go.

    LOST

    How awesome would this storyline be...they do their thing in the jungle, and they bring Sawyer and Shannon back to Jack and fight over who should get the Doctor's attention...and Jack picks Sawyer. Then Shannon dies. That's the 3rd family member between Shannon's Dad, Boone, and Shannon that Jack chose to let die. How fucked up would that be

    Excerpt from the upcoming HBK book

    We saw a large crowd gathered in front of the hotel. We put our heads down and ran through the mod. They were yelling obscenties at us,a nd one woman punched hunter in the face. The lobby was jamemd with angry people as well, so we sprinted all the way to the elevator. We were safe now, and we went to my room and tried to settle down. I looked at Hunter, he looekd at me, and then I said, "We did it, dind't we?" "You did what you had to do, Shawn." He gave me a hug and what seemed like forever, we sat on my bed. Hugging. And then he touched me in my special place. And I touched him back. We had screwed Bret. Now we're going to screw each other. Hunter took of his clothes to reveal his ring gear. I was still hot and sweaty from my match, so I was ready to go. This was going to be my most amazing match yet. As we started to make passionate love making... ...sorry, just adding in what you forgot to write about the rest of that excerpt. I guess you'll have to buy the book to read the rest. This book sounds like one of those fan fictions where they pick their favorite celebrities to have sex or whatever the fuck it is. It also sounds like an 8th grader wrote this book.

    This would be the perfect time for Eddie to turn heel on Batista, that we've all been waiting for.
