5 WWE Superstars that struggled with alcohol addiction

Eddie left us early

Eddie Guerrero

Still remembered

It’s been almost a decade after the death of Eddie Guerrero, but he is still remembered by millions of fans around the world. After spending his time wrestling all over the world, his first success as a big star came in WWE. But Eddie did have his problems. Eddie was addicted to alcohol, painkillers, and had addictions to a string of other drugs as well.

Eddie did try hard to come out clean and after numerous attempts, he ended up breaking his addiction. Eddie went on to have a successful run afterwards before he died in 2005 due to heart failure. The heart failure apparently was tied in to the abuse that his body had undergone due to addiction earlier in his life.
