5 things you should know about Eddie Guerrero

#4 He was constantly in pain

Eddie put on 700 matches in his wrestling career

It’s so sad to know that Eddie Guerrero died at the peak of his career. Back in 2005, Eddie Guerrero was having the year of his career, putting on wrestling clinics with Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit and Batista. However, he was doing all that whilst in constant pain.

Years of being in the wrestling industry had taken its toll on the Latino wrestler and his niggling injuries were becoming worse.

It was Bob ‘Hardcore’ Holly who revealed to the world that in the months leading to his death, he’d often see Guerrero lying in the physio’s room in pain before a match. Then when it was time go out and wrestle, he’d grab an energy drink and put on a stellar match.

He would ignore the pain and carry on wrestling; it was only a few wrestlers backstage who knew how much he was truly suffering.
