Vince McMahon's Statement From Eddie Guerrero Book

RebelRockChick

"It is said the true measure of a man can be determined not by how many times he falls down, but how many times he picks himself back up. Eddie Guerrero’s life is a celebration of just that. It’s a story about inspiration, about a man who succeeded in times when countless others would have failed. His strong family roots coupled with his faith in God gave him the power to rise above adversity and help those around him when they themselves were in need. This made Eddie a World Champion both in and out of the ring.

Eddie was unwavering in his determination to succeed in the business he loved with all his heart. He looked forward to the challenge of creating his own identity and taking the famed Guerrero name into the twenty-first century while paying homage to the family members who paved the way for him. He was the consummate performer and loved being in front of the fans. Every move he made had a purpose, everything he did have meaning. From the moment he walked through the curtain, he had you on the edge of your seat. Nothing was ever wasted or taken for granted. It’s rare that someone so humble has such a profound effect on the lives of the people who were privilege enough to be around him. Eddie’s influence on the professional wrestling business will be felt for generations to come as he will immediately regarded as one of the squared circle’s greatest competitors. To quote his older brother Mondo, “Eddie was born to wrestle.”

God bless you, Eddie, for you’ll never know how deeply you touched us all. You’ll be in our hearts and minds forever. Watch over us. Viva La Raza!

- Vince McMahon"

You'd have to wonder if that was penned by Vinnie himself. Any takers?

Fozzy

I'd say so..seeing as how he controls nearly everything else. And it's not as if he's not an articulate person

Mr.Nice Guy

I thought it was a very nice piece. Well done Vince.

Thought it was the best thing to say about him who ever wrote it.

Although vince's character on TV is not so nice, I'm sure he's bonded with some wrestlers every now and again. I'd say Eddie was one of those.

I think people doubt Vince because on the 1 hand he writes a touching piece like that. On the other he lets a tastelss angle run like two weeks ago on the Tuesday Smackdown special. He's hard to work out.

Buy the observer issue or listen to wrestling observer on byline or figure 4 radio. Dave breaks it down objectively in a non sensationalist way and I agreed with him. Theres a thin line between remembering and exploiting somthing. I think they crossed it.
