13 time WWE world champion Randy Orton posted a heartfelt message on Instagram on Friday night, paying tribute to the late great Eddie Guerrero.
‘The legend killer’ would post the following:
“I knew eddie for a couple years. I was so young and knew that I shouldnt approach him but had the unimaginable job of wrestling in the main event on TV, so I had to. There has always been attitudes egos or whatever backstage, that will never change. But when I met eddie I forgot everything that I was supposed to know about the wrestling business. Here was this top talent, that cared enough to give me the time of day. When I thought that a simple word would bother him, or he would tell me to F off, I quickly realized that I was dead wrong and that he gaf. He saw a young newcomer to the biz who was excited to work with him and he took the time to make me feel comfortable. I take that with me these days, the understanding that the new guys aren’t anything more then exactly how I USED to be. He made me feel welcome. He made me feel important. I will forever miss him, and can say without a doubt that he was one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots. RIP #eddieguerrero.”
Eddie Guerrero tragically passed away on November 13th 2005, this year will mark 15 years since that day. His untimely passing broke the hearts of his family, friends, colleagues and wrestling fans all around the world. Former WWE champion Guerrero is one of the greatest of all time, and a firm favourite of many wrestling fans, and he is sorely missed to this day.
RIP Eddie, VIVA LA RAZA!
