Where is this Gopher Guerrero stuff going?

Even when he does the Three Amigos, he gets booed instead of cheered now. At first, it was seen as a tribute because he dropped Kerwin White and was featured prominently as "Eddie's nephew." Now, since he's teamed with heels and they're getting heat, he is getting heat also. That's just how I've seen, and still see, Chavo. The only time he's really been his own "character" I guess is Kerwin White (which I liked). You are correct, sir. I do not like Chavo at all. The matches I've seen of his were good depending on his opponent (as I said before). I just don't think Chavo is very good on his own. More often than not, I see him as needing to be carried in matches and through feuds (CM Punk comes to mind right away).

Thank you for actually discussing this.

Your views aren't without logic, but I do not quite agree. While being "Eddie Guerrero's nephew" has certainly helped him. With longetivity and the number of opportunities he has been given, to say the least, I do not think that can be attributed as the sole source of Chavo's heat. Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins were also aligned with Vickie Guerrero and Edge, but I don't remember them getting nearly as much heat as Chavo consistently gets.

Sure, being Eddie's nephew probably heightens that, but it's not something that Chavo can help, and I don't think it should be held against him. Being multi-generation stars didn't exactly help Sim Snuka and Manu instantly set the world on fire, so I don't think it is something that is a sure-fire thing. Chavo has had to work at his connection with the fans, I believe.

I want to ask you if you think your opinion of Chavo Guerrero's abilities may be biased? I'm not accusing you of that, but purely asking for a self-reflection of whether or not you think it is possible. I can't remember the last time I saw a bad match out of Chavo Guerrero, is all.
