Chavo Guerrero's Debut

[Darkside Ron Garvin]

So Im a bit late but I just watched the Chavo debut and I'm thinking wtf?!

So let me gets this straight, instead of trying to be a stand performer on his own, his pretty much stole Eddie's trademarks with the shoulder shaking thingy, the frog splash, the 'olale viva la something' but a bit modified. Then he's still going to ride the Guerrero famile name wave, wrestling legend? God help me now...-_-

"Viva la Raza" is what was said. And to a point, I can see what you are saying... Like using the Three Amigos and Frog Splash. But remember that while in Los Guerreros, Chavo did the shoulder shake, used the terminology, and had the hands & finger wave as well. As for the Three Amigos and Frog Splash, he added them to his moveset after Eddie died as a tribute to him. It was actually very well recieved by the Guerrero family as well as fans in the WWE at the time.

Everyone is on this kick about Chavo/TNA using this as just a "Guerrero" name thing and a way to mention Eddie's name, but honestly the WWE did the same thing after Eddie passed. So much so that we now have Vickie who is by far one of the best managers in the business in years... But MAN was she rough and VERY green when she started. Does everyone remember the Rey/Chavo feud? She got over thru time and is now known for being Vickie, not Eddie's wife. For Chavo it is different. We were introduced to Chavo while Eddie was still alive so the comparison is always going to be there... Much like the Comparison for Owen or Bret even though they are two ENTIRELY different people, with entirely different positives and negatives.

Chavo is doing what Chavo does, and if TNA wasn't to down play the Guerrero name, then they would be ignoring the elephant in the room. Chavo is a Guerrero, yes is Eddie's nephew. I hope that after the "new to TNA" wears off, they will start avoiding the Eddie topic, and focus on the Chavito, but for now, it would be kind of hard to not mention that he is Eddie's nephew... Kind of like it's hard for Lawler/Cole to not mention that Tyson Kidd was part of the Legendary Hart Family Dungeon.

For the most Chavo is probably in TNA cause of his name.... But I see huge potential to make Chavo into something he wasn't never really was in the WWE.... although build him up into a Main Event over a year.... a tag team push... a X division push, maybe even TV title, but say next Destination X maybe facing the World champion??

Does anyone know how long the deal was that Chavo signed? If it's for 2-3 years, I say give him a 2 year build before getting to the WHC picture. Have him in the Tag division for the next 6 months. Could do a LOT of the division if they are to have Chavo/SuperMex, Kash/Gunner, Daniels/Kaz, then bring in a team like Sabian/Joker or another team from the indies (I'm PLEADING for Jigsaw to return over a team like the ROCKness Monsters). Now have Devon drop the belt to a Crimson, Pope, or Magnus and Devon/Bischoff could be the 5th team in the division. With EY soon to drop the Knocked Up Title, you could have him team with someone (I like Anderson for the personality, or RVD to get him some rest) and there's a tag division right there. Not the best, but could make for an interesting division none the less.

Now, after this 6 month period, move Chavo to battle for the TV title. Have him get some victories over the likes of Pope/Magnus/Crimson on TV leading into a PPV where he could take the belt. With his in-ring abilities, I could easily see him performing once a week with the belt and giving the title some recognition that Devon isn't able to give it. Have him drop the belt at Slammiversary to move into the X-Division.

Once in the X, I could see him gaining the belt in the Ulti-X to crown a new champ (that is, if whomever holds the belt ops out for a world title shot). Have Chavo hold the belt for a few months before losing it to a Kenny King or Jesse Sorrensen. In the next few months, the MexWarrior battles to get back into contention, putting over young talent in the process. When we're about 3 months out from Dest-X 2014, have him win the belt in heel fashion. This turns the MexWarrior into a "I'll do anything to keep this belt so I can finally win my first WHC that I have deserved for years now."

I know it's a long shot and I doubt it will happen, but if Booked right, it could really help people to remember Chavo for what he does in TNA, rather than what he did in WWE or who he was related to. My opinion of course.

In all due respect to Chavo Guerrero, but I don't ever see him being a legitimate World Champion. I feel like giving Chavo the TNA Championship would just be because of his last name. I've seen Chavo in WWE and WCW and in both companies I never saw that "it" factor that made me think of him as a World Champion. He's never had that stand out promo or that must see match. I think Chavo should just stick to the tag team division/X-Division.

Chavo in WWE: What a bad way to treat a legend

Chavo in TNA: Chavo is stealing Eddies trademarks and uses the Guerrero name to be relevant.
Wrestling's legend?Are you kidding me?

I find that to be a common issue. When talking about his time in WWE, he is called a legend. When talking about him in TNA, people laugh at him being a "wrestling legend". Most people can't figure out if he is or isn't a legend. It all depends on which company he is/was in at the time to determine his "legendary" status

No most of the people think that TNA is a joke and everyone who works for TNA is a joke too

A family using similar moves??? That's a strange concept. I'm glad Owen Hart and Natalya never used the sharpshooter. If you watched WCW back in the day you'd know that Chavo has always used the frog splash. That's nothing new. Viva La Raza has been shouted by just about every Mexican wrestler and I don't consider that an Eddie trademark. Hell, I usually think of Konnan when I hear that. That was part of his whole bit back in WCW. The shoulder shake, well I can't say. I think you have watched a lot more of Eddie and paid too little attention to Chavo. This guy is much, much more talented than you give him credit for.

Most who don't watch TNA and know nothing about it consider it a joke. Those that actually watch it know that it's much better than you are giving it credit for. Also, see my above post to get a clue about whether or not those are actually Eddie's trademarks. If you watched a little WCW then you'd know that's not the case.

And why you are saying this to me?
