It's been a couple of years since I watched WWE (what with full time jobs and no TV at university) but I remember watching him win the title at Wrestlemania and all the good times in WCW and early WWE career. I remember laughing so hard at some of the things he did (as mentioned, the chair shots and then lying down pretending to have been hit by a chair). Though I do not watch any more, I am sure he will be missed and this is really saddening. RIP.

I've heard something about it in the news today while I was coming from work, but I thought they said that his father or some relative died. Sad, very sad to the loss of a great wrestler and entertainer. Descanse en Paz Eduardo Guerrero..... :(

I haven't been able to post until now due to my connection being non-existent pretty much since we got power back on the 2nd. Needless to say as a wrestling fan, I am devastated from this loss. Eddie was not only a terrific wrestler, in fact he was one of the best in the world, but he was also a terrific performer, actor and most importantly he was just a great guy. Sure he had his issues in the past, but he cleaned himself up, got his life on track and has been in a great place for 4 years. Now he has been taken from us way to soon. I met him several times, and he was a real gentlemen to everyone he talked to. Never pushy, full of himself or meanspirited like some wrestlers get sometimes.

I just wanted to mention, RAW and Smackdown this week are both having tribute shows for him, no storylines or stupid crap this week, just some matches between wrestlers and the reactions to Eddie's passing. Chris Benoit breaking down is going to be tough to watch.

A couple of links, one is a massive amount of fan emails sent to wrestlezone.com about Eddie. Some of which made me tear up.

There's a couple more pages they posted up, but I can hardly load one page at the moment.

http://www.wrestlezone.com/article.php?articleid=134021906

Please read the bottom part of that, about a radio show called "The Herd With Colin Cowherd". I won't even give what they said a response, but ask if you loved Eddie, and love wrestling as much as I do, email or write or call this "show" and ESPN also and tell them how you feel (please don't be nasty about it).

RIP Eddie, you truly were latino heat.

Well that was probably one of the most emotional shows I've ever seen. As I figured, watching Chris Beniot breakdown was really hard to watch. Kurt Angle practically hysterical was hard to watch. All the wrestlers saying their piece was nice, as were the matches. Rey Mysterio and Chavo, man what can you say. Even Triple H who I'm sure most of you know, I don't really like all that much anymore, he spoke from the heart. Steph, I thought she was going to just walk off for a second there.

But, Cena putting the Eddie shirt on the mat, and placing the world championship on top. That got me.

May he R.I.P., a great athlete, entertainer, and individual.

Agreed 110%. Damn good show tonite, and he will be sorely missed. There will also be a special on tomorrow night @ 9PMEST on MSNBC. I'm sure if you watched tonights show you caught that tho.

That was the moment that set me off, i'm a pretty emotional person as it is but seeing that just made me feel what some of the Wrestlers are feeling (i'm not saying that i feel as if i was close to Eddie).

I Don't think i'll be able to watch this weeks Smackdown without sheding (sp?) more tears. I Never thought i'd be so emotional over the death of a wrestler...

RIP Eddie, you will be missed by all.

That was one of the most memorable RAW's to date. Like most of you, watching the ending with Cena got to me.

I noticed though, that it looked like they tried to end coverage earlier...but didnt pull the plug until after the shirt was placed on the mat with the belt. Anyone else see this? It looked completely impromptu.

I noticed that in the end as well, but I thought that this show was recorded yesterday as a supershow with both Raw and Smackdown combined :huh:. I was watching the time and it still ended at its regular time...

RAW and Smackdown were both taped Sunday night at the supershow they did in the Target Center (I think that's where they were) which is why RAW and Smackdown stars are going to be on both shows in tribute to Eddie. USA may have prematurely ran the WWE logo, but RAW wasn't over as you saw. They didn't fade to black until the proper time. Being it wasn't live, they probably just had itchy trigger fingers and weren't sure when it was supposed to end. But it wasn't WWE trust me.

Raw tonight was really hard to watch that's for sure... at the begining watching guys like Chavo, Benoit, Angle, Big Show, and even Triple H and the video tribute after the ten bell salute. Then seeing the speeches that the wrestlers did... Batista's and Chris Benoit's really made me tear up actually. Smackdown! is sure to be emotional too. Eddie Guerrero was a great performer be it in the ring or on the mic watching him wrestle always made me smile. Eddie Guerrero may you rest in peace... you will be greatly missed.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
