Re: Anybody into WWE
Eddie's body is scheduled to be returned to his home
in Phoenix, AR, by private jet tomorrow following an autopsy in Minneapolis.
Funeral arrangements are set for Wednesday in Scottsdale. Eddie had just moved
his family to Phoenix from central Florida. Phoenix resident and WWE
legend Superstar Billy Graham has been asked by the family to conduct the
service at his church.
The WWE hosted a press conference this afternoon at Target
Center with Eddie's nephew Chavo and Vince McMahon. Chavo said that Eddie didn't
respond to a wake-up call shortly after 7am so he and security at the
Minneapolis Marriott City Center forced their way into his room and found him
laying on the bathroom floor. Chavo said he performed CPR but couldn't revive
him. There were no apparent signs of foul play.
Vince McMahon talked about what a loss the death of Eddie
is to his family, the WWE locker room, and to all his fans around the world. He
called him a wonderful fun-loving human being and a consummate performer that
few could excel to. He said that Raw and Smackdown this coming week will be
tribute shows for Eddie and that everyone in the company has the option of
whether to work or not. He also noted that Eddie's family will continue to
receive WWE royalties forever.
Chavo said that Eddie would have wanted the show to go on
tonight so everyone else could feed their families. He said that just the other
day Eddie told him that he was celebrating four years of sobriety following his
previous battles with well documented demons.
