The Wrestler who cried Wolf
"M@x, Eddie Guerrero died."
I'm watching him carefully. M@x is only 6 and Eddie Guerrero was one of his heros.
Eddie's a professional wrestler and M@x knows all his moves, his entrance song, and never misses his performance on Friday Night SmackDown.
He's standing in front of me with his mouth open. I almost laugh at his intial response.
"Batista's not going to have a tag-team partner!"
he follows it up a million questions
"How do you know he's dead?", "Did somebody kill him?", "Was it the Undertaker?"
He's seen Eddie get thrown out of a ring, get clocked in the head with a chair, and punched in the face. He's seen him come back from beating after beating to win a crucial matchup.
"They found him dead in his Hotel Room" I say
"Somebody must have choked him" he says
"We talked about this before. These wrestlers dont really live like that. They are all best friends once the show is over. They arent violent people. He probably had a heart attack or something"
he doesnt believe me, and why should he believe that an inshape muscular man of my age should just kick over of a measly heart attack?
"How do they know he's dead? Maybe he's just sick? Maybe he's pretending"
"No baby, I'm sorry...Eddie's dead....The paper said that Chavo found him" I say holding his face
"I think somebody snuck in his room....."

The world, from a child's eyes, is so simple.
