WWE Raw 11.14.05

Everyone is out on the stage as the crowd chants for Eddie. They have his low rider there as well. Vince speaks on the loss of Eddie, and says they will celebrate his life. Eddie loved wrestling and performing for the fans. Eddie’s goal was to steal the show, so tonight they feel the show shall go on and they will pay tribute to him. Lots of the guys are crying as we get the 10-Bell Salute.

We get a special video tribute for Eddie now to some Johnny Cash.

Loud Eddie chants again after the video, which was just…great. Vince drops a “Viva La Razza” on us. “Thank you Eddie” chants now from the crowd. Seeing some of the guys so broken up is just proof of how much he meant to them.

John Cena speaks on Eddie. He says you may not like all of them, but they will all be speaking on Eddie’s greatness as a person. N a personal note, when John knew nothing, Eddie did a lot for him as a wrestler and as a father figure. Through all of his skills, Eddie had a lot of heart and taught Cena how to find that in himself. He sends his condolences to the family and all of Eddie’s close friends in the WWE, and that all of the guys love him.

At Intermission they would get into the ring and the crowd loved it and stayed during intermission. They had to stop because people weren’t buying concessions. They always wanted to be tag champs, and they lived that dream in the WWE. That was the tag team that can never be replaced. Together they were the same and always were on the same page. It wasn’t work, it was just there. Eddie, you’re my brother, always will be and I love you. You are and were an inspiration in faith, career and family. In every aspect of my life. Thank you, I will miss you and I will see you again. I love you. Chavo broke down half way through.
