Kaertos Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 So, I'm watching TV last night before I get online to post the latest SWF show. My wife is watching "For Better or Worse" where a couple has five of their friends and relatives plan their wedding in a week, on a $5000 budget and the couple has no say in it. They are introducing the people this couple had picked and one of them is her brother-in-law, Sal. They say he is a professional wrestler, so I look up, wondering if it is someone I've seen before... and lo and behold, it is Chavo Guererro Jr! He was gone for part of the week at an "out-of-town wrestling match", but he got a lot of the crdit for helping with the baking. So, is Sal really part of his name or just something they used because the WWE wouldn't let them call him Chavo?
dubq Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 Normally, Mexican wrestlers will take the ring name of their father even if it isn't their given name. For the record, Chavo Jr's real name is Salvador Guerrero III.
Kaertos Posted January 22, 2004 Author Report Posted January 22, 2004 Well that explains the Sal then. Cool. I thought I remembered reading somewhere that Chavo was actually his name, thus my confusion. Otherwise, I would assume (as I usually do) that it is a stage name. He came off as really cool and funny on the show, and his kids were adorable.
AlwaysPissedOff Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 Man... I thought I was the only person who saw this last night... Oddly enough, along with calling him by his real name, the narrator called him "Chuao" near the end before the wedding(when he showed up on the boat) and was taking quite a few jabs at him because he was out-of-town... heh. Personally, I was hoping for a drunken Eddy sighting at the wedding just to spice things up.
OldSchoolWrestling Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 Chavo is a hispanic slang term for guy or dude. Why its used as a name I'm not sure. Chavo Sr's first name is also Salvador, so Jr carried the the Chavo name with him.
The Mandarin Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 So technically, he's..Dude Guerrero? *SHAMELESS PLUG* Check out my match reviews. Click the second link in my sig. */SHAMELESS PLUG*
Guest netslob Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 was his wife on with him? i remember seeing a picture of them in some WCW magazine and thinkig she was pretty cute.
Boner Kawanger Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 So technically, he's..Dude Guerrero? If you want to get really technical, he is "Dude/Guy Warrior".
Mecha Mummy Posted January 22, 2004 Report Posted January 22, 2004 So technically, he's..Dude Guerrero? If you want to get really technical, he is "Dude/Guy Warrior". Dude Warrior? That is BEGGING for a RRRism.

Guest JumpinJackFlash Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 Well, my friend told me he was watching TV late one night, and he saw an infomercial with Eddy Guerrero lifting weights.
Kaertos Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Posted January 23, 2004 Yes, his wife was on the show. She is the Bride's sister. And she was cute, but that didn't exactly make her odd in her family. All of them were pretty good looking. Mind you, in the back of my mind my survival instinct is telling me that calling another man's (particuarly a wrestler's) wife "good looking" implies I was checking her out which could lead directly to me getting my ass kicked by a cruiserweight. And that would suck... BTW, great quote of the night? Chavo - "That's right! I can bake and kick your ass!"
SinToxic Posted January 23, 2004 Report Posted January 23, 2004 I still got that WCW issue and his wife (Sharri) is pretty hot. Pictures of them golfing together and Chavo sitting at the table with the pet horse Pepe waiting to eat enchiladas are priceless.
