Wade Keller vom Torch hatte nun auch einiges zu sagen zum Tod von Eddie Guerrero.
Unter anderem, dass er aus Quellen weiß, dass Guerrero immer noch Drogen nahm.
Zur Tribute Show sagte er, dass es bei manchen Leuten gespielte Trauer sei.
---> Hier ein Textausschnitt
Guerrero's "personal demons" were chronicled by WWE in a UPN special last year which later came out on DVD. Titled "Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story," Guerrero talked about how drug and alcohol abuse almost cost him his family, his career, and his life. His family and friends touted this week that Guerrero had just celebrated four years of sobriety.
In truth, multiple sources say sobriety for Eddie may have been defined differently than it would be for most. At the very least, sources who knew Guerrero tell the TORCH that he still took steroids and pain pills. Everybody with knowledge of Guerrero's usage say he had it "more under control" than during the lowest points in his life. He was able to hide any signs of usage from Vince McMahon. A number of people who have been on the road with him say he never showed any signs of any drug abuse on the job at the arenas.
But the aches and pains from abusing his body, the desire to try to be the same athlete in his late-30s that he was in his mid-20s, and the need to "look the part" for Vince McMahon led to his continued usage of steroids and pain pills in recent years, according to multiple sources close to Guerrero.
There is no medical evidence released to the public at this point that says anything he may have taken recently directly caused, contributed to, or accellerated his death. The fact that someone who had nearly died multiple times from drug abuse may have gone back to it is a sign that even the best intentioned, most dedicated recovering drug addicts with everything to live for (such as three daughters and a childhood sweetheart of a wife) often find total sobriety and being a full time WWE performer incompatible.
Er ging auch darauf ein, dass es weiter Tote geben wird, auch unter den Top Stars.
Einer der WWE-Topstars sei auf "death watch" ...das bedeutet, dass er auch nicht mehr lange leben werde.
Dieser Star wisse auch, dass er gemeint ist.

There is a top wrestler in WWE today who is considered to be on the unofficial death watch, whose death, due to his credentials, would make the considerable news coverage of Eddie Guerrero's death this week look minor by comparison. It's no secret to most within WWE; if it's not known by Vince McMahon, someone needs to tell him the system needs to be changed. It's one thing to show how much you care about a colleague by crying on the air after he dies. It's another to care enough about someone to do what it takes while he's alive to keep him from dying - even at the expense of box office receipts, storyline interruptions, and being deemed pushy, nosy, or a nark.
"I can remember hearing a conversation from some unnamed WWE head guys talking about how this certain person needs to go to rehab but they couldn't send him because he was too important to the show," wrote former WWE wrestler Andrew "Test" Martin in a website (http://www.AndrewTestMartin.com) commentary this week. "That's the reality people. That is how we are treated. Look at me. I break my neck in the ring and had to have two discs taken out of my neck and a steel plate put in and was told at the time by Johnny Ace when I asked if my job would be in jeopardy, 'We don't fire people with injuries like that.' Hmm, that's funny, because two months after surgery I got fired because I wasn't working.
