Author's take
Eddie Guerrero's death was sad and affected wrestling fans and wrestlers. Eddie was truly one of a kind and there was no one better at connecting with fans, whether as a face or a heel, than him.
Guerrero always wanted to make his opponent look just as good a wrestler as he was and he always delivered in his unselfishness.
