was Gory Guerrero the founding father of Lucha Libre (Mexican pro wrestling) widely considered the best wrestler pound for pound in Mexican history. His older brothers Chavo Mando and Hector all gained worldwide reputations from Mexico to Japan. Eddie followed a similar route and by 1993 he was one of the top foreign stars in Japan. Back home however tragedy struck when his tag partner Art Barr was found dead in his bedroom in Springfield Oregon. Eddie left Mexico for Extreme Championship Wrestling in the US moving on to the WCW in 1995 and the WWE (then still WWF) in 2000. A car crash in 1997 had left him addicted to painkillers and this coupled with alcohol problems led the WWE to release him for rehabilitation. Nevertheless with true strength of character he overcame his demons ultimately returning to become WWE Champion in 2004. As skilled with the microphone as he was in the ring Eddie Guerrero's style and charisma won him thousands of fans who chanted his name each time he enters the arena.This full and frank story of a charmed life almost wrecked by addiction and redeemed by grit and determination is one that every wrestling fan will want to read.
only natural. In the ring Eddie was unbeatable. He was part of the most popular tag team in Mexico. Fans worldwide were captivated with his high-flying style; soon he moved to Japan and experienced similar success. After returning to the United States Eddie faced a challenge he was not prepared for: addiction. Surviving a car accident that almost killed him Eddie felt he was bulletproof resulting in reckless behavior that put his life career and marriage in jeopardy. Then it all fell apart. The true test of any man is how he handles adversity. In one of the most inspiring stories in the history of sports-entertainment Eddie Guerrero not only regained his life he surpassed his wildest dreams. This is his story..

Advantages: Fantastic and inspirational story Disadvantages: skips over details of his time in Japan, heavy on the religion

For all wrestling fans this is a must read. There is no reason to not read this book. It provides every single detail of his life, family, sexual encounters, drugs, crises, several wrestling promotions. He was so personal in this book and it is a breath of fresh air to ... ...since Mick Foley. Although you may readd this book with empathy if you love him, many will be be able to step back and admire Eddie just through what they have read in this book, not what they have seen on TV.

You wont believe half the things he did. ...
