Eddie Guerrero! RIP

It is really hard for me to believe that 20 years have past since the unfortunate death of one of my favorite pro wrestlers of all time in Eddie Guerrero.

Again, it still feels weird to me that Eddie is gone. I mean he was such a talented wrestler. I remember watching that episode when I discovered his passing. I was in shock, of course the internet wasn't as big as it is nowadays but man it hurt.

Eddie Guerrero is one of best wrestlers of my time of watching pro wrestling and is regarded as one of the greatest in-ring performers ever. The matches that Eddie has have with the likes of Kurt Angle, Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, etc were some of the best matches I have ever seen.

And he is certainly one of the wrestlers I use when I am playing the WWE video games. He along with many others pro wrestlers have also been an influence in the style of wrestling that I love to watch which is technical wrestling.

Another reason as to why I loved watching Eddie was how you could place him anywhere in the match card and it would be a great match. Whether it be for the World title, a Secondary title and even Tag Team championships, he could make it an important contest to watch.

If I was able to be a wrestler, I would love to be that guy who wrestle anyone on the card, you know just help the promotion fill up the card whether it was a singles match, a tag team match or even a six man tag match. Even when I created myself in wrestling video games, I would create my character to be able to do just that wrestle anywhere on the card because of guys like Eddie.

Since his untimely death, I have been checking out a lot of his career. You see, my first experience of watching Eddie Guerrero was during his time in WCW as a part their respected cruiserweight division.

Then obviously he went onto bigger fame in the WWE where he became Latino Heat and created some of the coolest moments in the company's history. Me personally, I really enjoy watching his matches with Kurt Angle as well as his time teaming with his nephew Chavo called Los Guerreros which in my humble opinion, is a very underrated tag team.

But looking back on his amazing career, I saw that he had wrestled all over the world and has wrestled in so many classics in places like Mexico and Japan upon many others wrestling stars like Terry Funk, El Hijo del Santo, the Great Sasuke and got to compete as Black Tiger II for New Japan.

There is so much that could be said about Eddie Guerrero and honestly I don't think I could do any justice for Eddie because he was such a talent in the ring and his personality just touched so many different wrestlers and fans alike. All I can really say is God Bless you Eddie, I hope and pray you are at peace. And thoughts and prayers to your friends and family!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏

2009 Lewistown Panthers Baseball

 Well, with me trying to become more positive about myself, I have been looking back into the past and find ways to let go of some of the negative emotions attached to it. One such issue was going back to my time at Lewistown Area High School which as mentioned before was a huge struggle for me.  But again, trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back at that time and remember some of the good moments during that period. One of which was playing for the Lewistown Panthers baseball team. Heading into my senior year of high school, I wasn't in the best state of mind. Honestly, I really did not want to be there anymore, I was just so sick of life, never thought I was going to be anything. All I ever was going to be was a huge disappointment. I can only give credit to God for being able to get through that year. But then baseball tryouts came along and I decided to go for it again. The previous years I've tried only to fail, which in fairness, wasn't much of a surprise bec...

The 2005 Lewistown Panthers Football Team!

Image
 I recently completed reading my story for Hometown Sports Magazine about the 2005 Lewistown Panthers football team who finally ended a thirty years of losing seasons. In this blog, I wanted to talk about why I wanted to write about this team and how I feel the lessons that were learned about them throughout the year can still be used today.  One of the biggest reasons as to why I wanted to write about this team was because of how much of team these guys were both on and off the field. These guys have played the game of football together for a number of years and it clearly showed. Plus being a youngster, I really didn't know the history of Lewistown Panthers football. I only remember going to games because I remember my cousins playing on the team. But talking about the football team in general, to put it nicely, there wasn't a lot of success. In fact when I started this journey of writing this story, I discovered that Lewistown didn't have a winning season for thirty year...

Congrats To Trent Hidlay! (World Champion)

Image
 Although, it has become common knowledge, by many of us who live in Mifflin County. But former Huskies' great Trent Hidlay pulled off an incredible comeback and became the 2025 World Wrestling Champion in Croatia at 92 kg. After being down 10-2, Hidlay powered his way back to defeat Amanula Gadzhimagomedov 13-10 to win the World's Gold Medal. This is such an inspirational story that needs to be told because stuff like this does not happen very often, especially in a small community like Mifflin County.  To me, the story of Trent is all about never giving up and continuing to push forward as well as hard work and dedication. What this young man has done is truly remarkable. I have been covering local sports for over ten years now and seeing where Trent has started to where he is now really puts a smile on my face. I mean this kid has won two State championships when he was in High School before moving on to Division 1 college wrestling at NC State. While there, Trent was a fou...
