[Keith]

TNA has signed its next new TNA Champion.

[Keith]

Took longer than I thought.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

He seems like a nice guy and I hope good things to happen to him.

[erickman]

Took longer than I thought.

yeah they should have got him 3 years ago

[The Jayman]

They should've signed Kerwin White. That guy is gold

[Rollermacka]

He seems like a nice guy and I hope good things to happen to him.

I met him at an indy event in Houston, he was a very nice guy. He talked to me and the other younger wrestlers there. I think he could help alot in their developmental territories

[Joesgonnakillyou]

Very pleased for him, Ive always liked chavo and with TNA being on a bit of a upswing of late it should be cool.

Should he be in the x division or not though?

[DLVH84]

I'd say it's about time. Chavito Heat is going to rise in TNA.

[GD]

This is groundbreaking. Impact Wrestling will never be the same again.

[MisterLee]

This may actually have me wanting to watch TNA.

[jskinnyg]

They should've signed Kerwin White. That guy is gold

I agree... Hey now they have another wrestling legend (yeah I said it) to help some of the TNA roster with their mic skills... Other than Bully Ray, who has really good mic skills in TNA? I can't think of one right now... Anyone?

[loopydate]

Austin Aries is good.

[jskinnyg]

Austin Aries is good.

Duh.. Can't believe I forgot he and Roode... Aries is a badass on the mic... Thanks...

[Ermaximus]

I give it six months before he wins the TNA title.

[GD]

Chavo Guerrero is going to debut and destroy Austin Aries in less than 18 seconds and win the coveted TNA World title.

[Jordan]

I agree... Hey now they have another wrestling legend (yeah I said it) to help some of the TNA roster with their mic skills... Other than Bully Ray, who has really good mic skills in TNA? I can't think of one right now... Anyone?

Abyss

[The Show Off]

Abyss

He's not good on the mic but Joseph Park is. You know... Abyss' brother.

[Tom Guycott]

I give it six months before he wins the TNA title.

Already passed the 6 month window. Ring ka King, remember?

I like how they're treating it as if it were 100% seperate promotion that had absolutely nothing to do with TNA. Great idea, albeit not 100% true.

[erickman]

He's not good on the mic but Joseph Park is. You know... Abyss' brother.

this may be the best angle abyss has ever been in, he should have lost the mask years ago, magnus and fallen angel are good on the mic too.

[Autobahn]

Nothing against Chavo, but I can't see what benefit TNA can get from him on screen. Backstage is a different story, but his character has pretty much remained unchanged for the longest time.

[Ultra Mantis]

What's all this talk about Chavo Guerrero Jr being an amazing promo guy? Have I missed something here?

[CSL]

speculating, unless they have something "special" in mind or he's added something dramatically new to his game/shows something he's never shown before, I'd guess he'll have some good matches, do the rounds with most of the X Division guys, make a bit of money and then head behind the scenes as an agent/producer

[CSL]

naturally now I've posted that, he'll come in, they'll push him to the moon, he'll get over like a beast and be a huge success story

[Pintint]

My interest in TNA just went up 10%.

[Rollermacka]

I think Chavo would be a good leader for the Aces and Eights stable. Chavo is a very underrated talker in my opinion

[dronepool]

Well at least he'll get more than 2 minutes a month on TV now.

[Rollermacka]

Well at least he wont be jobbing to a midget on TV now.

Fixed it ;)

[Raven Reaper]

He's never given any airtime in WWE at all these past 2-3 years. This is like a mexican middle finger to that company.

[KaosDarksol]

Chavo Guerrero vs Austin Aries for the tna world title will happen

[Curd]

From Chavo's Twitter: "There's more than one Frogsplash in TNA now!"

It sounds like he'll do a program with RVD.

[Vastardikai]

If he wins the TNA title, I'm going to laugh my ass off...

[Asmo]

Good for Chavo.

Is he really a draw, at all? Even in the Latino markets? Else, i guess logic dictates that he'll be used as an enhancement talent. Like Finlay's role in WWE.

But this is TNA.

[jskinnyg]

this may be the best angle abyss has ever been in, he should have lost the mask years ago, magnus and fallen angel are good on the mic too.

Good point... Joseph park is def Abyss' best talking... Chavo should bring back Pepe...

[jskinnyg]

I think Chavo would be a good leader for the Aces and Eights stable. Chavo is a very underrated talker in my opinion

VERY underrated talker... Bring back the Kerwin!

This.

Haha, not much of a stretch. If you had told me that both Ray and Devon would find niches where they could be successful singles personalities in 2012, I would have probably questioned your sanity.

What Chavo brings to the table:

* Experience in pretty much every big promotion.

* Ring skills to help polish some of the younger guys.

* He's part of a well-respected wrestling family.

Sounds like a good signing to me. I doubt he'll be given the World Title, despite all the jokes, but I do think he'll be given the chance to really impress and be given that chance to be a stand-out presence on Impact Wrestling.

When he was doing time on NXT Redemption, Chavo was actually a pretty interesting personality. He made some humourous remarks from the stage (ala Dolph Ziggler) and revealed himself to be quite the scheming heel (no surprise in that one, really).

I would love to see what Chavo can do with Zema Ion.

[Mr. Nerfect]

And for the record, I think Chavo is a good talker. Not great, but definitely more comfortable on the mic than people give him credit for. He's certainly capable of taking a mic, going out to the ring and cutting a two-minute promo audibly and clearly to set-up a PPV match, or something.

I think what is truly underrated about Chavo Guerrero was his ability to connect as a personality. He was often compared to Eddie Guerrero -- one of the most charismatic performers we've ever seen in professional wrestling -- but when you look at Chavo's career, he was always over, and he was always entertaining on some sort of level. A lot of that came from his personality, and how he managed to project himself. He was perfectly likeable when he needed to get cheers, and he was appropriately wormy when he needed to be booed. There is a lot to be taken from Chavo -- especially when it comes to what JR calls "maximizing minutes."
