eddie guerrero - one year gone

 
 I anticipated posting here something about this untimely demise "one year later" - and I am making good on that promise to myself with the video I had selected then for this occasion (here's hoping that the video has not been disabled, deleted or taken off by You Tube administration, old or new, for not complying with their rules and terms of use... *sic*) However, I do so with the most bitter taste in my mouth... It has nothing to do with I had for lunch - whether it was mexican food or not (I love fajitas, tacos and tortillas, by the way) It has little to do with the fact that Eddie's widow is currently portraying some sort of mean vixen role on WWE SMACKDOWN ON THE CW... A sort of insurrection / resurrection of the WCW, but only because of the presence of the majority of former WCW personnel (stars and referees both) there (only Ric Flair himself is missing - and he's on RAW, so he could come over, since he did appear a couple of times on the awful ECW show...) What makes me swallow with difficulty right now is the realization that dawned upon me just now... Never in a million years would I have thought, a year ago today, when I learned of Eddie's passing, that today, remembering him a year later, it would also be close to eight months that my own dear Dad would be gone as well... No one can predict these things... I stand as surprised by the turn of events as Chavo Guerrero Jr was, when he parted with his uncle Eddie on the weekend only to find him dead the next morning... And now, the WWE is trying to use real life and real tragedy to make money... With Eddie's nephew and widow fully participating... Knowing Eddie's showmanship, he wouldn't mind... He must be enjoying the show, from up there... Maybe my Dad is watching with him too... Maybe...
