goodhelmet Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 I just started watching Eddie-Rey from Great American Bash and I am trying to get in the match but I am finding it near impossible to sit and stare at the screen knowing Eddie is gone. Anyone else having problems watching Eddie Guerrero matches?
Ray Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 I can't say I am. I watched the ladder match with Rey and I was marking out just as I would have before Eddie's death.
Loss Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 I haven't watched any Eddy since he passed away, but I'd imagine it will be surreal at the very least, just as it was watching Perfect/Bossman from WM 7 knowing both guys are dead, or as it is watching any number of matches from World Class.
sek69 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 I find it hard to watch old wrestling and not think of the current state of the guys involved. It makes watching matches like the 10 man from Canadian Stampede interesting to say the least.
goodhelmet Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Posted January 2, 2006 I don't really have that problem with any other dead wrestlers. I was going to do a write-up in the "What are you watching" folder but I couldn't watch the match.
Marty Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 just as it was watching Perfect/Bossman from WM 7 knowing both guys are dead I think Joey Marella was refereeing that match, too, which puts things in even greater perspective.
Loss Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 With Gorilla Monsoon and Lord Alfred Hays on commentary, featuring a run-in from Andre the Giant. WHOA.
Guest Crucifixio Jones Posted January 2, 2006 Report Posted January 2, 2006 All that means is that YOU guys are getting old. People born before you are going to pass away before you; that's life. Admittedly, wrestlers die much younger than anyone should. Prepare to go back, however, and see even more matches where everyone involved has passed on the older you get, for just that reason. I haven't had any trouble watching Eddy matches, personally but I did watch his DVD a few weeks ago and it was kind of surreal and creepy when Dean Malenko talks about going to JR behind Eddy's back and telling him he had a problem. "Because I didn't want to be one of those guys who got a phone call one morning telling me they found Eddy in a hotel room dead someday," he says was his reasoning.
Guest Some Guy Posted January 3, 2006 Report Posted January 3, 2006 I haven't watched any Eddy since he passed away, but I'd imagine it will be surreal at the very least, just as it was watching Perfect/Bossman from WM 7 knowing both guys are dead, or as it is watching any number of matches from World Class. Try watching an old Royal Rumble.
Guest SweetMama Scaat Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 I got the eddy dvd in the holiday season, and Im acutally enjoying most of it, especially The match VS Lesner at No Way Out. I was however VERY dissapoionted at the blatant and piss poor editing job on his match with RVD from Raw. The totally eliminated the fan run in, which to some extent , made the match. Watching Eddy matches should be a good thing, remember who he was and look bad on the good times and all the ways he entertained you. Its like when a friend/family member dies, its best to remember the good times you had with them then being sad because you wont anymore, if that makes sense.
Marty Posted January 4, 2006 Report Posted January 4, 2006 All that means is that YOU guys are getting old. (In more ways than one.)
