Eddie was on the front page of both papers this morning. The Pioneer Press reported that in the past 7 years 65 wrestlers have died.
His death is hitting me hard. The hardest of out of all the wrestler deaths. Owen's is the only one who comes close. I mean, there are the deaths that you mainly feel badly for the loved ones. There are the deaths that hit you a little harder than you suspected. And then there are the ones like this... I called up a bunch of my friends who aren't into wrestling anymore. Just to let them know because they all liked Eddie. It felt just like when I had to call people to let them know about Charles.
It's really amazing to hear nothing but good-- sincerely meant good-- coming from everyone. When stuff like this happens usually there's a few people who decide to beatify the guy. Even though they hardly ever spoke about the guy in the past, suddenly he was the BEST EVER. Or, there are comments like "I met him once and he was an utter prick."
But with Eddie, no one's over-glorifying him and no one can find a bad thing to say.
On WWE.com, Chris Jericho has a bit about Eddie. He talks about inside jokes and how being on different shows kept them seperated. He even gets in a dig about "sports entertainment". There also a sweet picture of Jerky, Eddie, Benoit and Malenko. Go give it a read.
