"Latino Heat" Eddie Guerrero was one of the most transformative performers of his generation, and two years ago, Matt Hardy paid tribute to his life and career.

This week in a difficult episode of The Extreme Life, Matt looks back upon the weekend 19 years ago when Eddie passed away. Find out how the WWE tribute show came to be, how he felt about wrestling on it, and how wrestlers handled the grief of losing a loved one.
