Eddie Guerrero? One of the biggest stars of the last 20 years. Died of heart faliure, aged 38. He was also completely drug and alcohol free at the time, and at peak physical fitness although past abuse may well have contributed.

I remembered about Eddie, but as he'd been clean for a good few years (since he did the indies before going back to WWE) I didn't think it fair to count him. Drug abuse certainly played a part in it, but then he was also too big for his size (just go back to his WCW days when he was fighting with Chavo or when he started the Latino World Order).

I made sure I got the Raw and Smackdown tribute shows. They were fantastic for all the wrong reasons.

Another two though, Luna Vachon and Sensational Sherri both died fairly recently due to drugs.

That's true. He had the stroke back in 2007 but he said in an interview last year that he's able to walk and drve around a lot more comfortably now. Pretty sure he won't be wrestling again though.

Never really liked Luger, but I'm glad he's getting better. He's had it rough since before Elisabeth died.

Here's the WWE tribute from Raw on monday. WWE's official channel doesn't like the UK so it's from someone else.

Warning: Coldplay starts about 1:35 in. But you'll miss some speaking (Liz saying "ooohhh yeah", then Macho/commentators from about 3:10 onwards)
