I'm not making this up.

[Guest Samantha]

Ok, so that's sick.

 

They're seriously cashing in on him now aren't they, now that a few weeks have passed.

[The Czech Republic]

Oh man, that's good stuff. And who said wrestling is tacky?

 

 

Viva la savings!

 

If only Hassan was still under contract, we could have "I'm declaring jihad on high prices!"

[iliketurtles]

That is horrible.

[haVoc]

At least the Eddie tribute T-shirt goes to his family....

[SuperJerk]

Eddie would've wanted us to save 20%.

[Masked Man of Mystery]

beyond that, what in the name of God is happening to his chest? it's all twisted or something

[2GOLD]

Eddie would've wanted us to save 20%.

 

And he would have wanted us to order the WWE snowglobe, only 24.99.

[Downhome]

That's so disgusting, so out there, that I'm laughing my ass off that they actually did it.

[Darth Vader]

Or they could put a picture of the Blue Blazer up there. "Prices falling so fast you'd think their harness was broken!!"

[SuperJerk]

Conversely, using Melina's tits to push the "2 Great Deals" slogan was pure genius.

[Guest Duke_The_Dog]

"Viva la" means exploited in spanish

[AndrewTS]

The main page is McGriddled with Prince of Persia Two Thrones stuff, at least.

[Dangerous A]

Someone finally got the hint as the Viva la Savings banner is down now.

[Si82]

If only Hassan was still under contract, we could have "I'm declaring jihad on high prices!"

I think I'd have to buy something if they had that up.

Jeez, man, it's your 8th post and yet you've already busted out a funny line. Don't set the bar too high, we'll expect you to be funny all the time.

 

EDIT: I just re-read this and it sounds like I'm being sarcastic. I'm really not.

It was yesterday only. They didn't get a clue, they just ended the promotion.

Somebody send this shit to Wrestlecrap. Methinks we may have a late nomination for the gooker award.

The cause of death has been revealed:

 

Wrestling star Eddie Guerrero died of natural causes related to heart disease, said the Hennepin County Medical Examiner Thursday.

 

The medical examiner's office said Guerrero, who was found dead in his hotel room on November 13, died of "natural causes related to arteriosclerotic heart disease." That term is synonymous with coronary heart disease, a narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart.

 

The coroner's did not address what led to the heart trouble, although the wrestler's wife, Vickie Guerrero, said last month on WWE.com's website that his past substance abuse and aggressive workout regimen caused the heart disease.

 

Following Guerrero's death, WWE announced the institution of a drug testing policy to screen for steroids and other drugs.

No surprises there, it's what most of us expected it would be.

Now check out the story from the AP to compare and contrast...

 

 

Medical examiner's report says wrestling star died natural death

 

Associated Press

 

MINNEAPOLIS - World Wrestling Entertainment star Eddie Guerrero died of natural causes related to heart disease, while past steroid use and the use of narcotic pain medication may have been contributing factors, officials said Thursday.

 

Guerrero, 38, died from "natural causes related to arteriosclerotic heart disease," which is a hardening and narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart with blood and oxygen, the medical examiner's report said.

 

Guerrero also had an enlarged heart and other enlarged organs related to a history of anabolic steroid use, said Dr. Kathryn Berg, the assistant chief medical examiner in Hennepin County who conducted the autopsy.

 

Guerrero also had recently used narcotic pain medication.

 

"They were contributing conditions," Berg said. "When you have larger organs, et cetera, your body works a little bit harder to maintain your normal physiologic state."

 

Guerrero, a star of "WWE Smackdown!" died Nov. 13 in Minneapolis, where he was supposed to film a show. His body was found on the floor of his hotel room after he failed to respond to a wakeup call.

 

Guerrero's widow, Vickie Guerrero, said last month in report on the WWE's Web site that her husband died from heart failure, and that the heart disease was due to past drinking and drug abuse combined with an aggressive workout regimen.

 

After Eddie Guerrero's death, WWE said it would start random drug testing to detect illicit drugs, steroids and prescription drug abuse among its performers.

 

 

Interesting? (shout out to the Danger Zone)

You gotta wonder if the pain medication hid some of the physical warning signs that may have gotten Eddie to a hospital or something.

[SuperJerk]

Its amazing how much I've learned about the effects of steriods since Davey Boy Smith died.

[Hunter's Torn Quad]

It's likely that Eddie would have died even if he had felt those signs. Eddie did a lot of damage to his body over the years, and simply feeling the signs might not have been enough.

I thought's Czech's earlier post had more zing and burn to it. To each their own.

I remember reading about how Kenta Kobashi's physician told him he had the knees of an "80 year-old man" and then hearing how Eddy had the back of a "70 year-old" left me speechless too. That's a lot of damage and pain for someone so young to deal with...

[Guest clockworkraven]

I'd take the jihad line over the Blue Blazer line, but neither of them are without their charm.

[iliketurtles]

I remember over the summer I was browsing around the net and I came upon a pretty cool Eddie interview with SLAM! Sports and just retracked the link:

They made an Eddie Guerrero joke on X-Play today. They were reviewing Raw vs SD and they showed a game clip of Eddie holding an urn and the joke when "Now are lawyers say we can't make a joke but, I just want to point out the irony of Eddie Guerrero holding an urn."

[Guest clockworkraven]

Is that the back of Eddie's head in the SLAM! logo?

Better than the 101 gay jokes the usually make when they review wrestling games.
