Eddie Guerrero is regarded by many as one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots and step inside the squared circle. He is best known for his work in WWE where he won the WWE Championship and was even posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Outside the ring, Eddie faced some difficulty with drugs and alcohol. It affected his life and definitely took a toll on him.
In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Shaul Guerrero opened up about her relationship with her father and had the following to say when asked what her father meant to her while growing up:
"I don't mean to break anyone's heart but I'm gonna be real, I'm gonna be honest. My dad scared the sh*t out of me when I was growing up." Shaul Guerrero went on, "It’s no secret that he struggled with alcohol and drugs. I think unfortunately growing up until I was 12 or 13, that was pretty much all I saw. It was a complicated relationship with my dad. I didn’t really get to know him until I was 13, 14, 15. He passed when I was 15.”
Eddie Guerrero passed away in 2005 as a result of acute heart failure. He was found in his hotel room by Chavo Guerrero Jr. who called the ambulance and was pronounced dead when the paramedics arrived.
He is remembered fondly in the wrestling world by fans and wrestlers alike for his contributions to the industry.
