Maybe eating little Pepper finally worked it's way through his system and killed him. Poor puppy.

That's sad. I always pulled for him because he overcame when others didn't. I live in a wrestling town (home of the Hart Foundation) so this will be even sadder news.

R.I.P.

I'll never forget about Owen Hart since it happened here and the way it happened  makes it stick in your head that much more.

Pepper was Al Snow's dog, not Eddie Guerrero's, that he was fed by the Big Bossman in one of the worst feuds ever.

Oh yeah! I mix the two up sometimes. It's been years since I have watched wrestling because I enjoyed it. Now I flip it on only to make fun of it. Much like my local news station.

They suspect cariac arrest. He was found in the morning, on the bathroom  floor with his toothbrush in his mouth (there's an inappropriate joke in there somewhere). Chances are, he never even knew what happened.

I believe it's Colgate.. it takes your breath away

*throws it to the joke thread...
Not bad... I like it.

Hes been in a lot of shows the last months. When you hear how hard that life is on those wrestlers, its amazing they last as long as they do. Probably was heart failure or something. Guess i'll have to watch Smackdown this week for sure.

How about you smurfs show some respect. For your uneducated minds, Eddie did battle with taking meds and addictions in the past, but he won that battle; in fact Nov 15th would have been his 4 years being clean and sober. Making jokes at the man's expense shows just how pathetic of human beings you are. He has a family, he's got a wife, and 3 daughters, one of which is 2 years old. What do you think it's going to be like growing up and not being able to know her father? But, o wait, let's tell her one of your jokes and see if she laughs. I don't f'in think so.

I'm not  a wrestling fan, except for the Rock.

But no matter how you slice it, sad is what it is.

Is this the guy who "lied, cheated, and stole" - and sprayed the big show with manure?

Not asking out of disrespect (it was all part of the act) - just trying to figure out who he was, I so rarely have seen pro wrastling.

He was the one with the "lie, cheat and steal" motto. He took flack for it but given his high morals and religious beliefs, he was able to get away with it.

Last night there was an anecdote about his lying, cheating and steeling. Jerry Lawler had asked him, if he always lies, what would he put on his score card if he got a hole-in-one in golf. He said, with a big smile "I'd put a ZERO". That was typical of his new found attitude of always enjoying life and making people laugh. I think he will be sorely missed, both in the wrestling world and beyond.

BTW, I think he would have found the Colgate joke funny. Humor is one of the ways people deal with emotion. In a few of the interviews last night, people remembered funny things about Eddie, making them smile despite their pain. Regardless of that fact, let's remember, he was a family man, a human being and was loved outside the ring by many who are hurting right now so let's keep the jokes to a minimum, out of respect for them.

I thought thats what the report would reveal. Same way Crash Holly died, heart just went out on him.

he is the one that started abusing himself. regardless of cleaning up, he had no one to blame but himself. if an ex drug abuser is your idea of a role model, you have my sympathies.
he was an actor and public figure... which makes him fair game.

no disrespect in a joke.
better to be remembered with a joke and a smile than not at all.
when yer old like me, you shall perhaps understand

No disrespect in a tasteful joke, done to alleviate pain through laughter. However, I completely disagree with the 'fair game' statement. It's one that has always bothered me. Because someone becomes popular and good at what they do they become less than human? Would you make a joke about a friend's passing, to the family no less, if he or she were a past drug user or athlete? He was a role model for many latino children, not for his addictions but for his ability to overcome, find God, find peace and happiness and carry on, despite overwhelming odds. It's easy to be a role model if you're a Tom Brady (no disrespect to Tom), who's had everything handed to him on a silver plater his whole life and the only adversity he's faced is their 5-4 start this year. A hero is someone who is afraid but does it anyway. Someone who faces their demons and defeats them, depsite the odds against them. Make no mistake, he caused his own demise through drugs and alcohol but it doesn't mean that his passing should be ridiculed nor made light of because he 'deserved it' or he was a celeb. Remember, there are children who will grow up without a dad now and a wife who supported him through the tough times, who has lost a devoted and loving husband. Don't crucify him for his mistakes, praise him for overcoming and correcting his mistakes. A joke and a smile during  tough time is helpful. A jab at a dead man and his family for the sake of someone's amusement or for ratings (as in the case of ESPN) is unacceptable.
