Ohhhhh Chavo... you're released

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

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.

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.

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...

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

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

<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.

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

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

*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>

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

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..

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

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

Except Chavo can work.

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

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. :)

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

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

"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.

<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>

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

A Chavo shoot would be interesting, actually.

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.

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.

2200 likes so far on WWE's Facebook announcement.

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

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?

Fuck, is Chavo an internet smark? "OMG HE WUZ CHAMP N NOW TEHY R PUTING HIM IN TEH MID CARD TEHY R SO DUM AND VINZ MCMANN IS GAY"

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.

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