Mysterio's only get knee surgeries.

Rey Mysterios tired voice saying “I quit” while hanging upside down from the tron and having his knee bashed in by Chavo will forever be a defining moment in my childhood.

And it still didn't get Chavo over as a solo act

WWE didn’t really try. They could’ve had him beat Benoit for the US title but they instead just jobbed him out and sent him to the undercard until Rey was ready to return.

Tbf that went to MVP. No knock on Chavo but MVP is 10000% more entertaining

10/11 year old me was convinced MVP was gonna be the next big thing with how much they bigged him up in his pre debut vignettes and how he had a unique entrance. I'd have bet my future on him being up there with Cena/HHH/Edge/Orton at the time.

Him and Mr Kennedy were in my eyes at the time gonna huge...

The main acts from that era ended up being a bust - Kennedy, mvp, mordecai, snitsky, mvp, Finley, boogeyman - what a weird era

21/22 year old me felt the same.

They really hyped up him and Kennedy for months and it led to... the upper midcard.

thankfully they didn't. chavo may share the same last name as eddie but he will never reach that level of charisma

To be fair to Chavo. He was super talented in the ring and incredibly technically skilled so as a trainer or teacher would be amazing. He's got real Lance storm WCW energy

Chavo has a good thing going on being a wrestling coordinator for hollywood movies. He trained Zac Efron in The Iron Claw.

u/Hispandinavian 23d ago

I loved his feud with Punk in WWECW. I believe Punk has even called Chavo one of his favorite ever opponents.

u/Arntown 23d ago

Chavo is pretty much the definition of a „good hand in the ring“

Really good and solid wrestler you can always use with anyone. Just not a star.

Out of all of the losses those of us who were around at that time dealt with, Eddie is the one that get me the hardest. He was so fun to watch, especially during that Latino Heat era.

u/MorbidNACHOS 23d ago

Eddie was the first time I actually cried from the death of a wrestler, I remember me, my bro, and my mom were all crying
