Ohhhhh Chavo... you're released
 
http://www.wwe.com/inside/chavo-guerrero-released

So now Chavo is gone from WWE. Where does he go? What does he do now?

Theo Dious 06-25-2011 10:48 AM

Normally I'd make jokes about the inevitable TNA signing, but with TNA doing the whole Mexican cross-promo thing right now, it makes more sense than the usual "TNA signs a WWE castoff" situation.

Afterlife 06-25-2011 10:52 AM

For crying out loud.

Xero 06-25-2011 11:02 AM

Can't say I'm surprised. Hard to believe he was on this long, really.

He's one of the last who came in from the Invasion. I think the only other one (who wasn't released and came back) is Charles Robinson.

Cool King 06-25-2011 11:05 AM

Goddamn. :(

Triple Naitch 06-25-2011 11:05 AM

He's been pretty interesting lately. His stuff with Sin Cara was good and he was entertaining on NXT. Six months ago, I wouldn't have had a problem with this, but now that they're actually doing something with him...

whiteyford 06-25-2011 11:06 AM

Figured he'd just get moved into a backstage role eventually, but not entirely shocked really.

Xero 06-25-2011 11:06 AM

Slow Saturday. "Chavo Guerrero" is trending worldwide on Twitter.

Evil Vito 06-25-2011 11:07 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Surprised they didn't wait until Darren Young got eliminated from NXT first.</font>

That's weird. They did that with Carlito, too. Did Carlito do anything to get released, or was it a normal release?

Probably just them not giving a shit about NXT than anything else, really.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-25-2011 11:10 AM

Honestly thought he'd have a job for life. :'(

Triple Naitch 06-25-2011 11:11 AM

Come to think of it, Chavo may have asked for his release. He posted on his twitter that big things were about to happen.

VSG 06-25-2011 11:11 AM

*Oh Sh*t*

From Chavo's Twitter (mexwarrior):

Guerrero's have always been rebels, so It's time for me to start being a Guerrero..Big news coming a bit later..stay tuned!

<font color=goldenrod>Carlito was a Wellness release.

I almost wonder if Chavo was too. I know he had at least 1 strike on him.</font>

Xero 06-25-2011 11:17 AM

If it was wellness they would have announced it on the Corporate site and probably mentioned it on WWE.com.

Cool King 06-25-2011 11:17 AM

I get the feeling that maybe Chavo did something to get released.

He seemed pretty loyal to the WWE and vice versa. (To the Guerrero family) Not long ago WWE.com did a story on him about how he was the last surviving guy from The Invasion, so it was all going good between both parties.

Given the date today, maybe he mentioned Benoit in some way, be it at a House Show, or at an interview or something. Yesterday was the fourth Anniversary of his death. :-\

Just guessing though.

Xero 06-25-2011 11:24 AM

From Chavo's Twitter:

Yes, it's true. My release is the big news I was talking about. But let's get something straight. I asked for my release. I was just tired..

#BROKEN Hasney 06-25-2011 11:24 AM

So probably going to TNA for a title shot like everyone else who gets tired.

VSG 06-25-2011 11:25 AM

I want to see his TNA theme, but that's about it.

Innovator 06-25-2011 11:25 AM

Except Chavo can work.

Evil Vito 06-25-2011 11:26 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Chavo just tweeted that he asked for his release because he was tired of not being used correctly.</font>

Cool King 06-25-2011 11:26 AM

I hope he comes back sometime down the line.

Juan 06-25-2011 11:29 AM

Big Vito with the breaking news ;)

Full tweet:

Of not being used correctly. Just cuz u can make other ppl look good, doesn't mean they should just have u lose to them. The same thing...

Happened to Eddie. After being champ, they still had him working mid card status. Being a Guerrero, we've been taught since diapers to get..

The most out of ppl & matches. It's our gift, but also our curse. WWE has always used us to make other ppl look good. It all comes down to

Being happy. I was not happy in WWE anymore. I had a smile on my face last night though when I got my release though! :) now it's time for

For me to start being a Guerrero again, and start kicking ass again, be able to tell stories in the ring like u know we can. :) win or lose

I will never go back to the place WWE put me in. I will never go back to being under utilized and watching ppl who suck get bigger "pushes"

Than me! Thank u to all of u who stuck by me & kept reminding me, I was better than that! :) stay tuned.. Big things coming!! Now I will

Really be able to entertain u! :) like me or hate me, 1 thing I have always tried to do is entertain u and give u fans your $ worth. Even if

My hands were tied most of the time. I love u all and can't wait for the future!! So happy. :)

Xero 06-25-2011 11:31 AM

Would be hilarious if he goes to TNA after saying all that.

Xero 06-25-2011 11:32 AM

He's still tweeting so I'll just keep updating that post.

VSG 06-25-2011 11:33 AM

"now it's time for me to start being a Guerrero again, and start kicking ass again, be able to tell stories in the ring like u know we can."

I think it is pretty clear he wants to keep wrestling.

Evil Vito 06-25-2011 11:33 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I seem to remember he lashed out on the IWC over Twitter a couple years ago because he was sick of hearing people say WWE were mistreating him when he was jobbing to Hornswoggle every Monday.

Guess everybody has their limits.</font>

Xero 06-25-2011 11:35 AM

Or he was just in denial. Or bullshitting to keep his job.

A Chavo shoot would be interesting, actually.

Rammsteinmad 06-25-2011 11:37 AM

Kinda sad for him, I remember hoping his feud with Benoit over the US title back in 2006 would boost him up the card a little bit. :(

Either way, I'm a big fan of Chavo and hope he does well with his next endeavor. As someone said above, I kinda imagined he would be one of those people set for life in the WWE, but I could see him coming back in some shape or form in the future.

Xero 06-25-2011 11:41 AM

I'd assume he has the 90-day non-compete, and depending on when the taping is, he may be able to debut on the ROH TV show's first show.

Edit: Acutally, no, because it'd be up around 9/25, and the first episode is 9/24.

James Diesel 06-25-2011 11:50 AM

2200 likes so far on WWE's Facebook announcement.

What are we supposed to see this as?
A good thing or a bad thing?

loopydate 06-25-2011 11:50 AM

90 days would be the 23rd. Five days left in June + 31 in July + 31 in August + 23 = 90

Okay then. But the taping is probably long before that.

Does the 90 day no compete count as only TV/PPV or also performances taped FOR TV/PPV?

What Would Kevin Do? 06-25-2011 12:30 PM

By the sound of his tweets, I really wouldn't be surprised if he ended up in ROH. On a side note, Eddie wrestled on ROH's first show.

Xero 06-25-2011 12:35 PM

And ironically, Chavo could conceivably wrestle on their last, if SBG decides to can the promotion.

I think the 90 day no compete only counts for shows that will be released on DVD or shown before the 90 days are up. I could be wrong though.

Chavo's tweets make him sound like a bit of a faggot, but I wish him well regardless. I loved him in the WCW days with Pepe and the "EDDIE GUERRERO IS MY FAVORITE WRESTLER" t-shirt. Not really so much at all since then, but whatever.

GD 06-25-2011 01:49 PM

Chavo Guerrero should go to ROH.

Anybody Thrilla 06-25-2011 01:51 PM

Does Chavo really think he should have been a main eventer or something? He never would have worked at the top, no matter how you pushed him. He should have just been happy to have a job in the biggest wrestling company in the world. He almost comes off as a less irritating Bob Holly.

Evil Vito 06-25-2011 01:57 PM

<font color=goldenrod>I'm pretty sure during the Daniel Bryan fiasco it was revealed that WWE has to approve any and all bookings you take during those 90 days. So yeah, they certainly wouldn't sign off on him working the ROH tapings for their first TV show.

Seeing him ultimately wind up in ROH though would not surprise me, I'd love to see what he does there. A return to Mexico is also a good possibility.</font>

Anybody Thrilla 06-25-2011 02:04 PM

WWE GETS:

The one thing that was blowing my mind was that he was comparing himself to his Uncle. He was entertaining in WCW and to a lesser extent WWE, but he lacked the one thing Eddie had in SPADES: Charisma. Chavo is a great worker, no doubt. However, he couldn't pull off some of the face promos Eddie could. And he sure as SHIT couldn't pull off the heel promos.

That being said, he shouldn't have been jobbing to 'Swog for a year straight. I mean, Laurinitis used him to torpedo one guy, and that wasn't enough for him? (If you're wondering, I was referring to Finlay.) I wouldn't consider 'Swog a significant enough draw for WWE to warrant that. He shouldn't have been the top guy, but he also shouldn't have been made into a joke is what I'm saying.

I do want to point out that Holly did good work with Cody. That was probably the perfect role for him: He gets to play the hard ass he is and Cody got to get "toughened up" as a result. Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind seeing a vet with a kind of gimmick like that.

I don't know Chavo personally, like everyone else here, but my guess would be that he knew he would never be a legit main-eventer, but he also knew he was better than programs with Hornswoggle and dressing as an Eagle. Which is right.

The angle with Sin Cara had him on the right track, but I guess it was too little too late.

Kerwin White was going to be amazing too, but NOOOOOOOOOOOO, Chavo is too good for that.

Honestly, rejecting that gimmick is probably what set him on the course he ran, knowing Vince's ego.

Jordan 06-25-2011 03:19 PM

Chavo in TNA would be horrible, Chavo in ROH I just don't see a fit, he should go to CMLL or AAA if he wants to be a main eventer.

The Kerwin White gimmick was dropped when WWE wanted to exploit Eddie's death and then decided Chavo couldn't "cut it", turning to Mysterio instead.

Anybody Thrilla 06-25-2011 03:22 PM

I heard Chavo denounced the gimmick after Eddie's death, claiming that he didn't want his character denying his heritage in the wake of the tragic event. HOW CAN WE TELL WHO'S RIGHT?????

Anybody Thrilla 06-25-2011 03:22 PM

If he would have stuck with it, he could have gotten mega shit bag heat.

CSL 06-25-2011 03:25 PM

didn't see this coming, thought he'd be around forever as an agent eventually. Wouldn't surprise me if he wanted out, I think he'll be back down the line ala Kidman, Bill DeMott etc

Oh no doubt about it, but then would we have got Dolph Ziggler or even the Spirit Squad? What about the 2006 DX reunion and the infamous Vince vs God tag team match?

SO MUCH WOULD HAVE CHANGED HAD CHAVO STUCK WITH IT.

Gertner 06-25-2011 04:23 PM

For someone who basically kept his job because his uncle died he should be thankful he got to stick around and get a steady paycheck.

yeah i wish he would have left 2 years ago before the hornswogle angle, i would have loved seeing him with homicide when lax was cool, but then tna would probly put him in an angle with eric young dressing as a turkey.

Emperor Smeat 06-25-2011 05:10 PM

Sort of surprised he got released since I figured he would have gotten a job as an agent or something else like most other long-time wrestlers with the company but if he wasn't enjoying his job anymore then it makes sense why he wanted to leave.

He's probably been very wise with his money and figured the best time to retire or leave would be now and not have to worry about rushing back into wrestling just to earn some needed cash like a Flair.

I have always liked Chavo, with periodic stints of really liking him. Hope he does well.

He definitely could have been used much better than the WWE was using him. At one point I could have bought him moving up to the upper card.

Like right after his last feud with Eddie. Then Eddie won the title, and Chavo fought him... I remember thinking... "Yeah. Ok. I can buy this guy as a top guy."

Probably just them not giving a shit about NXT than anything else, really.

Wasn't Carlito Darren Young's pro? So... being associated with DY carries with it a "Nega-Cena Future Endeavor Curse" ???*



*after typing that out, I just remembered that Punk was Young's pro, and "refused to coach him" because he wasn't straightedge. I just thought it was JUST amusing enough to keep rolling with it, though.

Mr. Nerfect 06-26-2011 02:07 AM

This is interesting. I guess Chavo Guerrero actually wants to work and "tell stories" in the ring. I felt that the WWE had given him quite a bit of time to do that on NXT, Superstars and even SmackDown! and PPV lately. I think maybe Chavo feels himself getting a bit older, and realises that if he's ever going to have those matches near the top somewhere, that makes people think boats were missed with him, it better be now. I have no doubt he'll return to the WWE at a later date as an agent or trainer when he misses the big paychecks a bit more.

I hope this isn't the self-destruction of Chavo Guerrero, though, and that he doesn't burn bridges promising the world and then doing a few indy dates. As a fan of Chavo's, I believe that his ring ability and connection to fans (regardless of whether you consider Chavo "charismatic" or not, he was always over) has got enough validity even today to make him of value to both TNA and ROH.

Honestly, I'd love to see Chavo given the gimmick of a veteran who knows more about wrestling than "kids these days," despite not being over the top, and give him a no-nonsense, "here to finally win" shtick. I'd love to see Kurt Angle vs. Chavo Guerrero, actually.

SWERVE! Mistico was released. Chavo is now Sin Cara! That explains the lack of botching. The lighting treatment is so we don't notice.

Chavo in ROH would be pretty amazing, I'd have to say. I'd love to see him either aligned with Mike Bennett and Brutal Bob, or alongside Steve Corino and Jimmy Jacobs as "evil men trying to reform."

Schlomey 06-27-2011 06:38 AM

guess he got pissed for taking heat due to his sin cara match at the ppv.

Innovator 06-27-2011 07:53 AM

Yeah I figured the Sin Cara stuff was the last straw for him.

Mr. Nerfect 06-27-2011 08:38 AM

I honestly think it's just a case of the Carlito-type stuff. You're on the road for years, taking bumps going out there and giving 100% (and yes, I still feel that laziness was only the effect of the cause of Carlito's problems), and you understand the business, and know that you might never be a top guy (although Carly had a better chance than Chavo, and a loss of his "future star" status might have frustrated him more than never having been given that), but you sort of want to feel that you are doing *something.*

Being an opening act is not a bad thing, but when you get sore and tired and aren't content but don't see change, you just want that change of scenery. The paychecks won't be the same, but it's not about that. Until you start missing the money.

Same thing probably happened with MVP, too.

Jordan 06-27-2011 09:25 AM

I really don't think ROH would benifit from Chavo, nobody will turn their TV on and see Chavo and be like "OH SHIT HE'S HERE NOW WTF!"

Chavo didn't do interviews bashing Triple H, so it isn't quite like Carlito's situation. Carlito was his own worst enemy.

It wouldn't be that kind of benefit. But I honestly believe Chavo could be an asset to the company. Not only with his years of experience, but he'd just be a different character to many they have. Veterans who have appeared in big promotions in the past are there, but Chavo could really find his own niche as a guy that has come to Ring of Honor because it hears it has the best wrestlers in the world. He's done with big paychecks and he wants to come in and prove that he's worthy of the Guerrero name, and win a real World Championship.

Something like that could be pretty compelling. Especially if they don't put Chavo over as some god in wrestling, but as a guy who never lived up to the highest example of his family. Chavo comes in, works some brilliant matches, starts at the bottom and works his way up. It could create a "Holy shit, is this guy actually going to do it?" vibe. Plus, lying, cheating and stealing could get over so well in ROH.

Chavo has WAY too much personality to be in ROH. Heck, he'd be their world champ in a week.

I do see the compelling nature of your idea, but I really feel like people would change the channel if Chavo Guerrero was a World Title Contender...

A guy who was a low card jobber for his entire career with a few mid card runs as exceptions does not make me thing "Best in the World".

To me if you put Chavo in an ROH title feud that would drastically cheapen the belt and all they have worked for it to be.

No WWE guy should EVER come in and win the title without a good long story behind. Even then, I don't want it to happen. ROH's World Title is special again, and I really do think Davey Richards will bring "The Best in the World" out of ROH.

Does the 90 day no compete count as only TV/PPV or also performances taped FOR TV/PPV?

WWE's 90-day no compete clause only applies to working for promotions and independent bookings that have syndicated television or pay-per-view programming. During the 90 day no compete clause, the no compete portion only applies that the talent can't appear on another syndicated wrestling cable television or ppv program. They can accept and work independent bookings for wrestling promotions and shows so long as the event is not televised and that does not pertain to internet broadcasting say over podcast or the promotions website. So basically you could say no ROH or TNA appearances being those are the only two companies with major syndication in multiple demographic areas.
