Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story
READ AND DOWNLOAD
One of the most inspiring stories in wrestling history, Cheating Death, Stealing Life sees Eddie
Guerrero recount his saga in remarkably candid fashion, chronicling a life of heartbreaks and
painful personal struggles in frank, graphic detail. Guerrero was born into Mexico's first family of
sports entertainment. His father, Gory Guerrero, was a Mexican wrestling legend. Before Eddie
turned twenty, he was wrestling in Mexico. Soon Guerrero was blowing away fans as part of the
upstart Extreme Championship Wrestling. World Championship Wrestling was looking for
innovative new talent, and Guerrero's unique style fit the bill. Unfortunately, the backstage politics
of WCW kept Guerrero away from the spotlight. Eddie sought solace from the pressures of life on
the road by living hard and partying harder. Even a series of drug overdoses and a near-fatal car
accident could not change his ways. When a group of wrestlers opted to leave WCW, Guerrero
joined them, signing with World Wrestling Federation. Unfortunately, a freak injury in Guerrero's
debut match took him out of the action. Upon his return, Eddie was paired with Chyna, which
launched his indelible Latino Heat character. However, years of the wrestling lifestyle, of nightly
partying and frequent injury, led to addictions to both alcohol and painkillers. Guerrero spent four
months in a rehabilitation facility. Sadly, he had not yet hit bottom. A relapse into alcohol abuse
resulted in a DUI conviction and the loss of his job. Though Guerrero had lost everything -- his
family, his money, his job -- he never allowed himself to lose his pride. Eddie returned to the
independent circuit, where he regained his reputation as one of wrestling's most electrifying
performers. Guerrero searched deep within himself and fought to regain the life he had lost. His
journey of self-discovery reawakened his relationship with Jesus Christ, and he found peace and
strength in the Bible. Before long, World Wrestling Entertainment offered Guerrero a second
chance. From the moment of his return, it was clear he was instilled with a new focus and passion.
With his nephew, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Eddie made up one half of the wildly successful Los
Guerreros tag team. The pair became one of WWE's hottest attractions. Ultimately, Guerrero not
only regained his life, he surpassed his wildest dreams, becoming WWE Champion. Cheating
Death, Stealing Life offers a no-holds-barred glimpse into the secret world of wrestling. It's also the
story of Guerrero's private struggle, of a son caught in the shadow of a larger-than-life father and
three older brothers, of a marriage that reached the brink of disintegration before being reborn.
Throughout, Eddie Guerrero pulls no punches describing his battles with self-doubt and inner
darkness. Sadly, in November of 2005, Eddie died due to complications of a heart condition.
Cheating Death, Stealing Life is a story of great courage and personal redemption. em em
