Chavo Guerrero Loves Mercedes Moné’s Tributes To Eddie Guerrero

Chavo Guerrero is a huge fan of New Japan’s Mercedes Moné and has no issue with her tributes to Eddie Guerrero.

Moné has paid tribute to the former World Champion both in and out of WWE and recently donned an attire representing Eddie’s NJPW days as Tiger Mask II.

Speaking to “Wrestle Binge,” Chavo explained that he has no problem with Moné using the frog splash. He said,

“The frog splash — we don’t own that. It was Art Barr who started doing the frog and looking like a frog [while doing the splash]. After he passed away, Eddie took that over. Others like Rob Van Dam started doing it as well. When Eddie passed away, I started doing it as a tribute to Eddie. So, hey, that’s awesome [to see Mercedes doing it]. I love it — that’s a tribute to Eddie.

“I don’t know Mercedes, but I’m super happy to see her kicking it and doing really well outside of WWE. What happens a lot of times is, people claim to love wrestling, but if things don’t work out in WWE, they go, ‘Ah, I’m gonna stop wrestling.’ I’d go, ‘How much did you really love it?’ She is actually out in Japan kicking butt, and you know they’re giving it to you over there [with the Strong Style], and she’s continued to do it. So, hats off to her.”

Chavo recently came under fire for claiming that Rey Mysterio and others are taking advantage of the Guerrero legacy but has since claimed his comments were not meant to be taken seriously.

Guerrero went on to praise Moné’s Black Tiger tribute to his uncle and added that Eddie was phenomenal when competing under the mask.
