Not only was the hype funny, but the uncomfortably boring promo he cut last night had me laughing pretty hard. It was like, all the hype for THAT? I knew he wasn't much of a promo guy, yet as soon as he started it was even worse than I thought it would be. It was, as you say, uncomfortable. Chavo trying to act cool just doesn't register, and once they start throwing around the term legend it becomes completely laughable.

the only times I found him interesting was when he was Kerwin White, tagging with Eddie and when he lost his mind with Pepe
I never really liked him from an in ring stand point and he has zero crediblity after being Hornswoggle's personal jobber for the better part of 2 years

Though if this leads to a Mex Am reunion and the return of Sarita and/or Rosita as faces, and maybe Winter on the other side to even up the odds, I'd mark like a five year old Cena fan. ;D

In all seriousness when did Chavo ever have credibility? He was a midcard (mostly) jobber in WCW and outside of teaming with Eddie, becoming Kerwin White and getting beat by Hornswoggle I can't remember a single thing that he did in the E. Believe it or not, he actually beat Rey Mysterio in an "I Quit!" match, put him out of action for awhile, and then feuded with Chris Benoit over the U.S. title. It speaks volumes about Chavo's successes as a credible heel that few people actually seem to remember this.

Chavo is quality.
Granted he isnt the biggest star ever he is a great worker and adds something to TNA. if he adopts the full schedule and works the House Shows he's a good buy. You can have him work main events, midcard or openers. He is versatile.
Chavo can come into TNA and have matches with alot of new people. A feud with Kid Kash should be great. Matches with AJ will be great. Austin Aries? Would be a great match. Daniels, kazarian the possibilities are truely endless for Chavo in TNA.
As for people point blank disrespecting the guy saying they don't remember anything of him. he had a great run in WCW as Cruiserweight Champion, A great tag team with Eddie as Los Guerrero's, A decent enough feud with Eddie, A decent run as WWE Cruiserweight Champion and of course a decent enough run as ECW Champion.
Good signing for TNA.

Good signing for TNA. Look at the word you keep using. "Decent". That's exactly what Chavo is. Decent. He's never been spectacular at any one aspect of the business, and TNA made a HUGE mistake by putting him on the mic before they put him in the ring. And having a ton of their other guys talk about signing a WWE mid-carder(again, being generous) like they just signed John Cena just makes TNA look bush league.

Eh, I dont think it makes them look bush league, just trying to build a guy up. It was silly for him to get like 3 hype segments before his debut, but it was all pretty harmless imo.
But then, I didnt think his promo was horrible either (it wasnt good, but I didnt think it was that bad either). Maybe I was just relieved that the promo wasnt focused on him throwing jabs at WWE.

When Chavo's uncle died, someone ELSE got the grief push and world title run. That is how much of a big deal Chavo wasn't. Just saying.

Chavo is one of those guys that could resurrect Mitsuharu Misawa, and pin him clean in front of a rabid Tokyo Dome crowd, before flying to America and making the Undertaker tap out at WrestleMania, and I still wont give a damn about him.

The ONLY time I was a fan of Chavo was when he was beating the tar out of Rey.

This deserves quoted again. It's not that Chavo is a bad wrestler, he's far from it. He's just not a game changer, try as he might. He's who you fill out your card with, he ain't selling the damn thing. He's just not a "he's coming" promo kind of guy. No one cares. He's part of a great wrestling tradition and nobody cares.

I'm a fan of Chavo Guerrero's work. He doesn't know how to use twitter but I really don't think TNA made him out to be as big a deal as people are making it out to be. There were interview segments with Kurt Angle, who has history with Chavo, and Gunner/Kash whose only intention were to crash the party. Chavo has come in and is immediately feuding with Kid Kash and Gunner, this isn't TNA shoving Chavo down our throats, I'd say it's a pretty modest debut, while they also sold the importance of having a member of the Guerrero legacy on the roster. No, Chavo's not going to take TNA to the next level(brother) but I think he's a solid hand to have on the card. I appreciate TNA treating him like a dignified member of the roster and I think he's talented enough in the ring that we can see some really good matches out of him.

I like that people here hate guys for being solid. That's why Shannon Moore got hate.
It's not like Chavo will be in the world title picture. He'll be somewhere in the middle of the card having good matches. That's a goo dthing.

I will forever remember Chavo Guerrero for his WCW run, specifically being the manchild chaperoned by his uncle Eddie Guerrero and riding his beloved wooden stickhorse, Pepe.

He'll be somewhere in the middle of the card having good matches. That's a goo dthing. I agree that he is solid and will help them grow some young talent. The problem is they literally brought him on and hyped him as a legend and god in the business. That deserves all the hate and then some. This isn't Eddie or Gory Sr., it's Chavo Jr. He's good, he's solid but he's is not a legend or god in wrestling and it's insulting to force upon us that he is. It's one thing for a heel like JBL to do it for heat but not a guy being pushed as a beloved face.

I think them hyping him as a "legend and god in the business" is a little over the top. They had a few talents praise him backstage, and had a short little music video for him.

I loved him saying he wasn't a legend because he said so, he was a legend because the fans said so. Who has called Chavo a legend? He's now in the same wrestling company as Hulk Hogan, Sting, and Kurt Angle, he's nowhere near their status, granted Hogan and Sting are in the icon status. Hell, Jeff Hardy and Jeff Jarrett more of a legend than Chavo. We jump all over the WWE for the Triple H as a huge name hype, but at least Trips is in that legend status. Chavo's a good wrestler, nobody is going against that. He's just not a legend, or as big as TNA was hyping him up to be.
