All three men did comment saying that they would've preferred a Rey push to a Chavo push (except Rey, who stated that he would want a push for Eddie's Nephew) should Eddie be forced into Retirement, which he was in 2009 after yet another nearly fatal heart attack.Īs for HHH, I think the Wellness policy from an Eddie death would save him. What of a Rey push as well? I remembered reading somewhere's that Vince was considering on pushing Rey Mysterio more than Chavo if something happened because of how much of a high flyer Rey was. Which he did, only to lose it to Randy Orton two months later after the severe amount of backlash from the Angle Family and the Fans got too much for the company to handle. Maybe it had to do with that God Awful Maven push and how they called him Kurt Angle's illegitmate son and saying how he was going to win the WWE Championship in honor of his father. Turns out Eddie had a near fatal Heart Attack due to his previous drug use.

But back on the question, what if instead of HHH, it was Eddie who died from his Heart Attack in 2005? What might happen in the future of the industry?ĮDIT : I got the thing mixed up. Kennedy at Wrestlemania XXV and the latter to Alex Riley 3 months later. Here's a really tragic question though that crossed my mind while watching the HHH Episode of Dark Side of the Ring and how he died of a steroid overdose in April of 2008, leading to the legendary feud between Randy Orton and Shawn Micheals that would see the latter unite the WWE and WH CHampionsips for 154 days in honor of his friend before losing the former to Mr. While that could be an indicator that something Tragic might have happened, given Chris Benoit's repeated strikes to the head leading to the mental issues he suffers from even to this day, I hope that isn't what he meant when saying that. To make this question even more interesting, Chris Benoit, father of the Benoit brothers and a Hall of Famer himself, has gone on the record stating that 2006-2007 were some of the worst years of his life and he didn't know what might have happened if Eddie wasn't there to help him. What many people don't know is that in 2005, Eddie suffered a near fatal Heart Attack that would've killed him had it not been for his Nephew, current US Champion Chavo, finding him in the nick of time. Of course, this was with the support of their manager, former Superstar and current Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero.

So recently, David Benoit has retained the WWE Championship for his 278th Day of his 7th Reign, having started his career in 2010 while Daniel Benoit has won his 2nd WHC Win from former Champion John Cena.
