To some, wrestling is a way to get out of the regularity of life. To others, it is a legacy and tradtition that entwines a family. For Chavo Guerrero wrestling has always been a part of his family and his life.
His gene line reads something out of wrestling history; his grandfather was the legendary wrestler and promoter Gory Guerrero and his late uncle, Eddie Guerrero is a name that will continue through the ages.
“Chavito” began his quest at an early age, often wrestling with Eddie during the intermissions of Gory’s shows in Texas. After making his official in-ring debut in Mexico and traveling around the world, Chavo came to WCW in 1996, winning the Cruiserweight Championship twice during his time there.
Chavo came to WWE in 2001, and has won the Cruiserweight Championship multiple times. He is also a two-time former WWE Tag Team Champion, and fulfilled another life-long dream when he teamed with Eddie Guerrero to win the gold in 2002.
Following the tragic passing of Eddie in November 2005, Chavo has dedicated every match to his late uncle, and adopted Eddie's signature Frog Splash as his own finishing maneuver.

Rey Mysterio also dedicated himself to winning in Eddie’s name, and his unlikely capturing of the World Championship was an unlikely catalyst for the recent rivalry that has torn the Guerrero-Mysterio relationship apart.
At The Great American Bash, Chavo told Mysterio that he was there to help keep the championship dream alive, only to stun WWE fans worldwide when he leveled Rey with a steel chair during his match against King Booker, bringing Rey’s impossible dream to a tragic end.
Days later on SmackDown, Chavo appeared on tape, claiming not to be present in the arena, and declared, “I don’t feel I owe anyone an explanation. Not even Rey Mysterio.” Later in the night, as Mysterio challenged King Booker in a World Heavyweight Championship return match, Chavo once again interfered, costing Rey his chance to relive his dream as champion.
The following week, Chavo finally went on record to address his Bash betrayal, calling Rey “Nothing but a leech living off the blood of the Guerrero name.” This vicious speech brought the family rivalry to a head, eventually leading to SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long booking a match between Chavo and Rey to settle the score at SummerSlam.
With a hysterical Vickie looking on, Chavo and Rey attempted to squash their issues in the ring at SummerSlam. When Vickie inadvertently pulled Rey off the top rope in a desperate attempt to end the clash, Chavo seized the opportunity to defeat his former friend. Since then, a new Guerrero family alliance has been forged between Chavo and Vickie, and they have transformed Mysterio from an unlikely underdog champion to a broken spirit.
No matter who he is with or against, Chavo is still realizing his destiny as a member of one of the most celebrated families in sports-entertainment history.
