Chavo Guerrero To Rey Mysterio – ‘Stop Prostituting Eddie Guerrero’s Name!’

Chavo Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero’s nephew, has criticized WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio for using the late wrestler’s name and references on WWE TV for his personal benefit.

During a virtual signing for Captain’s Corner, Chavo stated how Mysterio is continuing to milk Eddie’s name on WWE TV such as the WrestleMania 39 entrance where he entered the SoFi Stadium in a lowrider and used Guerrero’s entrance theme.

The WWE alumni further said that Rey was simply latching onto the Guerrero family name since no one knows who Rey Mysterio Sr. is.

While Chavo thanked Rey for keeping Eddie’s name and legacy alive, he declared that The Guerreros don’t need Mr. 619.

Chavo said, “Look, we all love Eddie, but we’re not going out with his gimmick and our gimmick. It was Los Guerreros’ gimmick and come out with the Los Guerreros, ‘We Lie, We Cheat, We Steal’ and everybody’s like, ‘Oh yeah, keeping Eddie’s memory alive. I say no, dude, I’m tired of people — and this is not a bitter thing, this is the truth. We worked hard for that last name. The whole family worked really, really hard to get that name to where it was and we’re tired of people prostituting it in a sense and using it for their benefit.”

“So Rey Mysterio, I’m sorry that no one knows who Rey Mysterio Sr. is, Rey Mysterio Jr. No one knows who he is. I’m sorry that you have to latch on to the Guerrero family and we’re just kind of tired of it. So, thank you for keeping Eddie’s name alive. Thank you for keeping the Guerrero name alive but we don’t need you, we’re good, you know what I’m saying?”

Chavo later took to Twitter to reiterate his standpoint, writing:

“If @reymysterio is really mentioning the Guerrero name only in tribute & not to line his own pockets with cash, maybe he’ll donate some of that money to charity, or even better, how about to Eddie’s daughters. That will show myself & the fans that he’s not prostituting the family name”
