Chavo Guerrero is Coming to TNA?

[World_Series_Attiude]

I cant believe no one has posted this already...but one of the greatest lucha libre alive is coming to TNA/IW and his name is Chavo Guerrero !

IMO the WWE really dropped the ball with this guy, he has tons of potenial plus he can WRESTLE !!!

My question is when he gets to TNA/IW what should he do ? X Division, Tag Team or World Title...for me it'shardtopick cuz i feel all three divisions are hurting right now and can do better !

P.S How awesome would it be if they gave him a live mic and TNA them him "Let em' have it" WWE, John Cena or Both !

 

[ECWcyrus]

I believe Chavo is part of the India project TNA's doing. as far as chavo on TNA/IW goes, i feel like he should be a mentor of sort. he can still go in the ring, but i really dont think he should get any major push.

perhaps a mentor for mexican america, or maybe in the x division. he could really put over someone like jesse sorenson. If not that, then I would say backstage role would be fitting, im sure chavo could offer a lot of knowledge

 

[It's Damn Real!]

No one posted it because it's yet to be confirmed. The only things posted thus far was from Wrestling Observer which noted that it's "widely expected" that Chavo would join TNA after his appearances for the Ra KaKing/India project.

That said, with Anarquia down in OVW, if Chavo is in fact coming in, then my hope/guess is that he comes in one of two ways:

1. X Division. He's got the proper size, build and technique/ring style to make a successful run there and frankly, Aries could use the help as the division is quite weak.

2. Mexican America. Redefine them and give Hernandez the mic-worthy partner he desperately needs. The tag division is already dwindling, so he'd be a welcome addition IMO.

One of the greatest lucha libre wrestlers alive?

No shit, senghor, but what exactly does he offer to the table, apart from being a relative of the late great Eddie Guerrero? The fact that he's been jobbing in Superstars and appearing in bits of backstage segments ever since La Familia's break-up? Oh lol.

But since he's a WWE reject, and Eddie Guerrero's nephew, and can 'rassle (oh hey the smarks be chanting!), he'll be given an X Division title or two before smarky audiences who care shit about anything else but MOVEZ MOVEZ MOVEZ.

Well come on does it really help tna? No
Will it entertain anyone?Probably not
Will it help Chavo's career?Not a chance
He could however properly help out some X-Division Guys.

 

[dadubay]

Of all of the guys who were mid carders in WCW that have had no name careers, how has Chavo survived? The guy is awful. Please do not call him a legend, as that would be like calling Santino in ten years a legend.

 

[i'm a cm punk girl]

Chavo adds nothing to anything....................well, maybe hobby horse conventions.

Guess Chavo's ass kissing campaign on Twitter is finally going to land his dream job. Can't wait for him and Hector square off in a Eddy's legacy on a pole match.

You'd think that someone from Georgia would have better respect for the Guerrero legacy. Long before Eddie and Chavo entered WWE, the Guerrero family had accumulated a wide number of world tag team titles and were even a main stay in a lot of southern state territories during the good ole days. And if Chavo coming to TNA was to give us yet another combination of the Los Guerreros, then by all means I would be up for it.

In that same token, I welcome the addition of Chavo to TNA because if there's any WWE star that knows how to put over a younger talent then it would be him. Afterall, Chavo's responsible for teaching a lot of current WWE guys the ways of the ropes and was once regarded by WWE as one of the best at putting over young talent.

Completely contradictory.

If he could help out some of TNA's X Division guys, (a) he'd be helping TNA, so point one is moot, (b) it would likely mean entertaining X Division matches, so point two is moot and (c) it would be a tremendous upgrade over what he was doing with WWE prior to his release, so point three is also moot.

No one messes with Santino Marella, y'hear? Unlike Chavo, Santino got very very over with a comedy gimmick. Chavo, with a more serious one and the sympathy of millions for Eddie's enlarged heart, couldn't get enough heat to keep out of Superstars.

Chavo shouldn't even be compared to Santino's gloved hand, if push came to shove.

[thebarber]

lots of potential??? Really??? Chavo is in his 40s and well past his best. He became a petulant little sook towards the end of his WWE run, and only got as far as he did due to the Guerrerro family name. His shameless cashing in on his famous dead uncle Eddie's name and legacy was shameful.
Chavo would do nothing to improve Impact Wrestling, and if he was used as a worshipped idol, he would complain in TNA as well. Nobody missed this, real wrestling fans know and simply do not care about Chavo Guerrerro. Hell Chavo classiv was more over in WWE and he was in his late 50s.

 

[Twocenter]

Chavo Guerrero has nothing to give to IW. If IW signs him it will be their loss. They can use the money to improve other green stars or sign another star for the X-Division.What do you see in Chavo? He is certainly not a better wrestler than Austin Aries. He is a good wrestler. Just a "Good" wrestler. Nothing extraordinary. The only thing he does nowadays is to run his mouth on John Cena which he has failed miserably. No one cares about his opinion, do they? The only thing he will be remembered for is his tag team career with Eddie. Nothing more than that. Maybe a few Cruiser-weight Championship reigns and matches but nothing spectacular.

Talking about the topic, if he comes to TNA after that India TV project is complete, he may be used in several ways.

1. He may be used in the X-Division. Perhaps, give him the Title for a month or two to degrade the division.
2. Use them with the awful Mexican America. I think this will improve them a bit but not much.
3. Use as a jobber to the stars or job stars to him if IW decides.
4. Maybe he will have some meaningless fueds with EY and even the Spanish announcers.

So, Chavo will not bring anything good to TNA/IW.

Just my two cents.

 

[remyx]

I don't get what all the chavo worshipping is about. He's good enough in the ring, but even back when he was allowed to do what he wanted ring wise in WCW he wasn't no where near as good as people make out. In the WWE, yeah he did put on some good matches here and there, but not as good as he himself would have you believe.

I dislike a lot of stuff that the WWE does also, but for Chavo to go out and say about how piss poor Cena is in the ring is laughable.. I hate Cena, but Chavo has next to no charisma and just doesn't have anything about himself that gets me emotionally invested in his matches. To be honest the only times i've really cared was when he went against WGTT with Eddie, when he faced JBL at the Eddie tribute show and then when he was in the last rumble kicking some ass... and even then i was shocked i was actually rooting for him.

I don't think TNA should waste any more time on ANOTHER old 'star' focus on the future.

As always, IDR nails it.

Chavo isn't exactly AJ Styles when it comes to high-flying action, but he is definitely a solid and worthy addition to the roster and can certainly still go. Although TNA's X-Division does have some good talent, like Kid Kash and Aries, I am getting a bit sick of the same 4 or 5 guys wrestling each other over and over. Get Chavo involved, I think he would work with with AA and also re-introduce Kazarian and Alex Shelley (until Sabin is back) to the X-Division, to strengthen it further.

Or

Have him involved in Mexican America in some way. Chavo can talk, and Anarquia and Hernandez really cannot. He would definitely help the faction. Also, Chavo is a proven tag-team wrestler and would do just fine as Hernandez's tag team partner.

This is like comparing apples and oranges. Yes, Santino got over with the comedy bit. But that's about where it ends. Chavo is a decent wrestler, far from the best. I'll say that he comes off bitter with the Cena bashing. But I feel TNA could benefit from his services if the speculation is true about him being hired. He doesn't need to sound off as the recent "disgruntled employee from up north". Granted he isn't as great in the ring or on the mic as Eddie was. Yet he is far from inferior. Like aforementioned posts, he could be added to MexAm or compete in the X Division. This is bringing up the whole "TNA is bringing in ex-WWE/WCW talent" again, and I know a lot of die hard TNA fans are against this. At worst no one at the Impact Zone or any other arena will pay attention to his matches, and you see some of those on a weekly basis. This could be a good thing for TNA being that there are some folks that have always enjoyed seeing Chavo go in the ring. Regardless of how small that fanbase maybe, it would help the ratings in that small amount of number.

Chavo adds nothing to anything

Chavo may add nothing to anything but he will certainly add something to nothing. That nothing being TNA's Tag team Divison.

Despite TNA's recent attempt to revitalise the tag division by joining random singles stars together to try create a more competetive division I feel it is still massively lacking. Apart from Morgan/Crimson and AJ/Kaz none of the new teams that have been thrown together have any appeal to me and a I guess others share this opinion. By adding Chavo, a proven tag team wrestler and decent in-ring performer to the division he can help make Hernandez relavant again along with adding depth to the tag division.

as other has said Chavo is the right fit for the X Division as well. I would use him to help improve some of the other X-Division wrestlers, who are more high flyers. Chavo has a good ground game along with the occassional high spot and I believe his experience would seriously help the younger guys arrange their matches, rather than having high spot after high spot. Chavo will not be the saviour of TNA's Tag and X divisions but he is definately a step in the right direction. If they can add John Morrison, Chris Hero and a few other ROH guys like Davey Richards, Kevin Steen and perhaps Prince Devitt then TNA would be back to top form as in my opinion the Main Event scene is decent already.

 

[The Unforgiven]

Chavo would add nothing NOTHING to TNA. He was a joke in WCW running around with Pepe. He was an even bigger joke in WWE. I mean lets all be serious here the only reason he got a push EVER is because of Eddie. Either in the Los Guerreros tag team or after Eddie died and he was used as a symphetic figure. Peple wil lsay he can be used to put young talent over but that is a load of crap. Nobody will stand up and go " oh wow Zema Ion or Tony Neese beat Chavo. They must be special if they beat Chavo". He brings zero to the table. Please TNA do not sign him. use the $ for other areas that need improvment.

 

[World_Series_Attiude]

I think chavo should debut at the next PPV and cost Jeff Hardy he chance the win the title. Then on the following IW Chavo comes out and says that he cost hardy the title just like how hardy cost his spot in their old company. An Hardy v.s Chavo fued has the potenial of putting TNA/IW on the map

 

[BooMan]

It'd be good to see Chavito back in front of a live television crowd aand not getting his ass handed to him by a midget!

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

IF Chavo shows up on Impact Wrestling, and that's a large IF...I would be glad to see him. Not because he's a former WWE talent. Not because he's a lucha libre-style wrestler that can enhance the X-Division. Not for some anti-WWE, anti-Cena rant. But because Chavo Guerrero is a damn good wrestler, a veteran of the industry, and a ring general. Not only can he go out there and put on the best match of the night, with virtually any opponent, but he can coach talent in the back and polish up some of the younger wrestlers.

I'm not trying to romanticize Chavo's career, or say he's the best there's ever been. He's not even in the top 5 lucha stars WWE has ever seen... But he does know how to put on a match. He knows how to chain wrestle, grapple it up, and work his spots. He makes opponents look like a million bucks, and I think given the chance he could cut a good promo. He is, after all, a Guerrero... Having him in the TNA locker room would be an incredible asset, in my opinion. They don't need to make him World Champion, and doing so would probably be a huge mistake. But they should have veteran talents backstage that can work with, and build up younger talents. They should have somebody who can look good winning, but also knows how to take a loss for the betterment of the product.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I could see Chavo Guerrero being of use to TNA in a couple of ways:

Tag Team Division - It's no secret that TNA's tag team picture, once the crowning jewel of TNA and the one aspect of their product that was indesputable as being supierior to WWE, is on life support right now. I'd go so far as to say that WWE MIGHT actually have a better tag team scene that TNA. As implausible as that sounds, that's how far the tag team scene has fallen in TNA. The current tag team scene consists of "thrown together" teams that've been paired up mostly for the sake of just putting together whacky teams and Matt Morgan & Crimson, who have no real competition at this point and are generally uninteresting as tag champs at this point. With Anarquia headed down to OVW, Chavo Guerrero could be a replacement for him in Mexican America. Chavo has had success as a tag team wrestler, can easily do the schtick of representing his Mexican heritage and is simply far more talented than Anarquia. As long as they don't have him play the exact same character as Anarquia, he could be of use.

The X Division - Like the tag team scene, the X Division is pretty weak right now. it's not as weak as it has been for most of the past 3 years but it would be if not for the presence of Austin Aries. He's the only guy keeping this afloat. Would Chavo bring a new dynamic to the X Division? Probably not, but he does bring something to the X Division that it currently doesn't really have: name recognition. Chavo's last name is Guerrero and he's a wrestling veteran that has had exposure in WWE. Most of it over the course of the past 5 years or more hasn't been great, but at least he's had it. He'd basically be a hispanic version of Kid Kash except people actually know who Chavo is.

If Chavo somehow doesn't head to TNA, let's be honest, it's not going to be a loss for the company. I said earlier that Chavo is a Guerrero and he is. The problem, however, is the fact that his last name and the Guerrero family's contribution to wrestling in general are really all he has. He's a Guerrero, but he's not his father. He's also not Gory, Hector, Mando and he sure as hell isn't Eddie. The times in which Chavo has been the most relevant in his career have been in programs with him either wrestling against or wrestling with Eddie. Other than that, his entire career has been pretty forgettable in general. That's also including his time wrestling in Mexico and Japan, where he'd never really accomplished anything that I know of.

 

[J.J.]

I would argue to use him to get younger talent over, bit I'm already second guessing thay opinion. I think he is by far the least successful in that family and would not advocate him signing to TNA. Konnan is more successful than him as a Hispanic wrestler and even he had mediocre success in any capacity in TNA on-air. Last thing TNA needs is a former WWE star whose recent memory was a ridiculous rivalry with Hornswaggle. As a wrestler he's at best average. In short, do NOT sign him to nothing more than a road agent, him being on-air is completely unnecessary.

2. Mexican America. Redefine them and give Hernandez the mic-worthy partner he desperately needs. The tag division is already dwindling, so he'd be a welcome addition IMO.

I'd love to have Chavo in TNA and have him compete in the tag division with Mexican America but also in the XDivision at the same time. I'd love to see Hector do some more managing so could this be the right time?
