they found him in his hotel room when he wouldn't answe his phone/door. they think he died from a heart attack while brushing his teeth. to me, more than any other wrestler death I've experienced, this one seems the most surreal.

I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

Wow. This guy was one of the best "heels" I had seen in a while. I wonder how they will treat this in the story arc. Sorry to see him go.
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.

that's the funny thing, though, they tried to make him heel, but the people just loved him so much, they wouldn't boo him.

I think it had to deal with Steroids honestly...but didn't he get kicked off WWE for doing heroine for a period of time and could not return until his addiction was conquered? I will definitley watch Raw tonight...maybe they will do a funeral type thing like they did with Owen Hart.

steroids probably contributed to it, but he was fired for much harder drugs. pretty much every man in WWE takes steroids (legal or otherwise). a lot of people are noting the similarities between Eddie and Brian Pillman.

thats what they say, maybe he died of drugs but they didnt want to tarnish his reputation. They wouldnt insult a dead man, think about it.
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.

Uh, they already said he used drugs back in his days before WWE. One of the wrestlers said it on RAW last night. It was also because of how much he worked out.

“It was heart failure. It was from his past – the drinking and the drug abuse. They found signs of heart disease. She (the examiner) said that the blood vessels were very worn and narrow, and that just showed all the abuse from the scheduling of work and his past. And Eddie just worked out like crazy all the time. It made his heart grow bigger and work harder and the vessels were getting smaller, and that’s what caused the heart failure. He went into a deep sleep.



This is truly sad though. Will miss you Eddie! :cry:
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

This is very sad. I am one of the few female wrestling fans out there and I have been a fan long enough to see a few wrestlers pass on and it is always emotional. Me and my ex actually went a live event in Milwaukee and saw Owen Hart and then the next day was the pay per view that he died at. So we saw him wrestle his very last match and he lost =(

:shock: Wow! Good story. I saw Eddie live in his WCW days fight Chris Benoit. I miss those days when he had a mullet.
