There are certain dates that fundamentally changed the professional wrestling industry. One that stands out to many, is November 13th, 2005 – the day the legendary Eddie Guerrero was found dead in his hotel room by his nephew, Chavo Guerrero.
It was a shocking moment, and the wrestling world still mourns Eddie and his accomplishments to this day. Looking at WrestleMania 39, his close friend Rey Mysterio would come to the ring to Eddie’s entrance music – paying tribute to him. However, Chavo views this differently – and is sick of people prosituting Eddie’s legacy.
Chavo Guerrero Is Sick Of People ‘Prostituting’ His Uncle’s Memory, Calls Out Rey Mysterio
During a digital signing with Captain’s Corner, Chavo was asked about Rey Mysterio’s use of the Guerrero legacy in WWE. He had the following to say.
“I gotta tell you this, I just don’t understand why Rey Mysterio still has to — look, we all love Eddie Guerrero. But we’re not going out with his gimmick and our gimmick, it was Los Guerreros’ gimmick and come out with the Los Guerreros, ‘We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal’ and everybody’s like, oh yeah, keeping Eddie’s memory alive.
I say no dude. I’m tired of people — and this is not a bitter thing, this is the truth. We worked hard for that last name. This whole family worked really, really hard to get that name to where it was and we’re tired of people prostituting it in a sense and using it for their benefit.
So Rey Mysterio, I’m sorry that no one knows who Rey Mysterio Sr. is, Rey Mysterio Jr. No one knows who he is and I’m sorry that you have to latch on to the Guerrero family and we’re just kind of tired of it so, thank you for keeping Eddie’s name alive, thank you for keeping the Guerrero name alive but we don’t need you, we’re good, you know what I’m saying?”
When asked about a potential match against Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 40, Chavo would claim that Mysterio couldn’t hold a candle to Chavo right now.
