҂ More details have been released regarding Eddie’s death from this morning. Some members of the media were present at ringside as McMahon and Chavo answered questions regarding the death of Eddie Guerrero, how it will effect the company, tonight’s TV tapings and much more. ҂ WWE.COM has a video of the press conference held earlier today at the Target Center with Vince McMahon and Chavo Guerrero. ![]() When asked by one of the members of the media if he will be there, Chavo Guerrero told them that he was given the option to fly back home, but Eddie would want him to be part of the show so he is sticking around. Vince McMahon – who appeared very calm during the press conference – said that next week’s shows will feature the friends of Eddie Guerrero as they give their thoughts on the former WWE champion. ![]() The original formats for both shows were immediately scrapped after today’s tragic news. WWE Superstars were given the option not to wrestle just like when Owen Hart passed away. ҂ It has been confirmed by Vince McMahon that tonight’s RAW and Smackdown! tapings will be a 4 hour (combined 2005) tribute to Eddie Guerrero. The TNA Wrestling website also has a note mentioning his death. Other media who picked up the story are the Associated Press, the United Press International, KHBS-KHOG TV, the Bucyrus Telegraph Forum Bucyrus and others. ҂ Local Minneapolis CBS affiliate WCCO has picked up the story of Eddie’s passing along with the Minnesota Star Tribute newspaper online. Eddie’s first successful title reign ended after he revealed he couldn’t take the pressure of being champion anymore, and dropped the title to JBL. Batista looked like he was going to drop the title so he can undergo back surgery and the possibility was that Eddie was going to end up with the World Heavyweight Title, starting his 2nd term as champion. ҂ Next week’s Smackdown! main event was supposed to have a three way match for the WWE title, involving Randy Orton, WWE champion Batista and Eddie Guerrero but with today’s tragic news, it is obvious that the plan will change and most probably it will effect both RAW and Smackdown! tapings. Eddie is survived by his wife Vickie and his three daughters. After cleaning up himself from the ‘demons’, Guerrero was welcomed back in WWE in April of 2002 and has been on a roll ever since. In late 2001 he was arrested for drunk driving and WWE released him from his contract a few days later. One of the most popular – and hated – wrestling Superstars to ever step foot inside the squared circle, Guerrero – 38 years old – developed an addiction to pain medication a couple of years ago after a car accident that nearly ended his life in 1997.
