WWE Smackdown
November 11th, 2005
Eddie Guerrero slowly climbed up to the top turnbuckle, his opponent Ken Kennedy laid prone in the middle of the ring. As he prepared to jump to do his patented frog splash, Eddie felt a twinge of pain in his chest. After a minute of sitting down on the turnbuckle to catch his breath, the pain wasn’t going away. He would collapse into the ring and Kennedy who by now had looked up and saw something horrifying: Eddie was on the ground clutching his chest. Desperate he looked over to the ref and made the X sign. The ref did the same to the ringkeeper and the announce team. The match was thrown out as a team of medics came out a defibrillator and a gurney. If they did not work fast, Eddie was going to die.
“Eddie Guerrero suffers heart attack in ring”
Tragedy struck Friday as Eddie Guerrero suffered a heart attack in ring during a match with Mr. Kennedy. He is currently interred at the Foundation Surgical Hospital in El Paso, TX in critical condition. With this event, WWE has offered no official statement on the incident. We here at Pro Wrestling Illustrated wish Eddie a speedy recovery.
-Article excerpt from the November issue of Pro Wrestling Illustrated.
Welcome one and welcome all to Muerte Negada: A Pro Wrestling Timeline. As you can see, this timeline focuses on Eddie Guerrero surviving the heart attack that kills him in otl. I plan to have this timeline go for 13 months, focusing primarily on the Smackdown and ECW shows with Raw getting mentioned in the co branded shows, along with TNA getting a monthly recap.
Before we continue, I'd like to state 3 questions that will probably be asked sometime during the storyline:
1. Is Benoit going to die earlier ittl due to Eddie's heart attack? No. The Benoit incident is still going to happen in the same time it does otl but WILL NOT INVOLVE NANCY AND DANIEL IN IT!
2. Will there be different callups and signings in any of the brands? Yes, they're going to be a couple guys getting called up to ECW earlier than they do, as in 2007 the brand will be expanded to have its Tag straps reactivated.
3. Is Vince going to tweak anything in this timeline? At first, yes. But later down the line you'll see.
With all this out of the way, let us begin.
