The new Latino World Order is proving to be a hit with fans, with merchandise of the group selling incredibly well.
On the SmackDown prior to WrestleMania 39, Rey Mysterio gifted Legado Del Fantasma with LWO shirts and officially made them members of the faction.
During a recent edition of “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Dave Meltzer spoke about the group’s merchandise success. He said,
“They sell Eddie merchandise, and the thing that hit it right now is because the LWO was Eddie Guerrero’s gimmick in WCW. It was more than just doing the three amigos. They’re actually doing…there’s no doubt that it’s a total copy, it’s the same t-shirt, and they bring up that it was Eddie’s group. It was 100%. It was the LWO gimmick. They’re selling merchandise very well right now. That is 100% meant as something Eddie Guerrero popularized right down to the team losing every match practically.”
Meltzer’s comments come after Chavo Guerrero called out Rey Mysterio and others for “prostituting” the legacy of Eddie Guerrero.
