The late WWE Hall of Famer Eddie Guerrero is still celebrated by fans today due to the significant impact he made on the professional wrestling industry. This Thursday marks the 20th anniversary of Guerrero's tragic death, and the city of El Paso, where he was born and spent most of his life, will honor his memory on Tuesday, November 18th.
An announcement revealed that there will be a ceremony that morning at 9 AM local time at City Hall. Fans are encouraged to dress as their favorite wrestlers or wear luchador masks. The official YouTube page of the city of El Paso will be streaming the event live.
Chris Rojas, an El Paso resident and one of the key figures in preserving Guerrero's legacy in the city, shared on Instagram: “I have been working on a special project! Join us on November 18 as we celebrate and honor El Paso legend Eddie Guerrero! Along with the official proclamation, we are also seeking funds to renovate the mural at Lincoln Park, name a park after Eddie, and our long-term goal is to build a statue for him in Lincoln Park!
