The late Eddie Guerrero is to be honored in his hometown of El Paso, Texas, with a day dedicated to celebrating his legacy. The event, scheduled for November 18 at City Hall, marks the 20th anniversary of the former WWE Champion’s tragic passing on November 13, 2005.
This tribute is partly organized by Guerrero’s daughter, Sherilyn Guerrero, and will be streamed live on YouTube. The local community is encouraged to participate by wearing lucha masks or dressing as their favorite wrestlers to commemorate the occasion. Chris Rojas, a community member involved in the event, expressed his excitement on social media and outlined plans to raise funds for various memorial projects, including updating a mural at Lincoln Park, naming a park after Eddie, and eventually creating a statue in his honor.
Sherilyn Guerrero recently embarked on her own wrestling career, joining Booker T’s Reality Of Wrestling promotion in Houston. Booker T, who worked closely with Eddie in both WCW and WWE, has been supportive of Sherilyn’s endeavors.
Eddie Guerrero is remembered as one of the sport’s greatest in-ring performers, inspiring many up-and-coming wrestlers. His legendary matches, particularly against Rey Mysterio at WCW Halloween Havoc 1997, are often celebrated as defining moments in wrestling history. Throughout his career, he achieved numerous titles across various promotions, including WWE, WCW, and ECW, ultimately earning his place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2006, just months after his death.
As the community gathers to honor his memory, the spirit of Eddie Guerrero continues to inspire a new generation of wrestlers and fans alike. For those interested in attending or watching the event, further details can be found online, and it promises to be a heartfelt tribute to a wrestling legend.
