Eddie and Chavo - "Cheat to Win"
 

I picked up the Eddie Guerrero DVD the other day, and I watched the Eddie vs. Chavo match at Bash at the Beach. I noticed both were wearing T-shirts that said: "Cheat to Win". I always thought the "Lie, Cheat, and Steal" gimmick -- where that's their family motto --- came from the WWE, but it looks like that the Guerreros had a very similar motto in the WCW. Chavo even basically cheats to get out his match with Stevie Ray, which happens before his match with Eddie.

Does anyone know if Eddie and Chavo are actually rehashing the same WCW gimmick? My memory on Guerrero's time in the WCW is a bit hazy.

(On a side note, the cruiserweight division in the WCW must have been where everything was at. The DVD not only includes the Rey/Eddie cruiserweight title match, but also the Eddie/Jericho title match. It's weird thinking of Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho as cruiserweights, but there you go.)

PEPE WHAT WHAT

yea, it was kind of the same gimmick, but it wasn't as marketed back in WCW as it is in the WWE. In other words, that wasn't what they were based around, like Eddie is today. Eddie probably cheated a lot during his matches, like lots of heels do, but he never did it as a babyface.

That shirt was sweet though.

Hey, thanks.

And, yeah, it was a pretty cool shirt.

It's pretty much the same gimmick, although it wasn't a comedy thing in WCW. Eddie was supposed to be a huge heel because he cheated so much and was trying to corrupt his nephew. The crowd got behind it eventually, though.

Such wonderful couples.

Any pics of the WCW Cheat 2 Win Shirt?

And as far as couples go, where's the Al Snow with Head/Pierre pictures?

Don't know where there are pictures.

The shirt was black. On the back, it said, "Cheat To Win." On the front, it said "Eddie Guerrero is my favorite wrestler." :p
