Chavo Guerrero

The world of professional wrestling has lost a true legend with the passing of Salvador "Chavo" Guerrero Llanes, better known to fans as Chavo Guerrero. Born on January 7, 1949, in El Paso, Texas, this 5'11" technician left an indelible mark on the sport he loved.

Guerrero's wrestling career spanned over four decades, from his first match in September 1970 to his final appearance in November 2016. During that time, he worked for promotions such as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), New Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, World Championship Wrestling, and All Japan Pro Wrestling.

Chavo Guerrero's signature moves were the German Suplex and a wealth of technical grappling skills that earned him the respect of his peers. His in-ring style was a testament to his passion for the sport, which he carried with him throughout his career.

Guerrero held numerous titles, including the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship, EWF Heavyweight Championship, and several other regional and national championships.

The "Original Mr. Mexico" moniker was well-deserved, as Guerrero's proud Mexican heritage was always proudly displayed in his performances. His legacy extends beyond his impressive ring resume; he inspired a generation of luchadores and wrestlers around the world with his charisma and dedication to the craft.

Chavo Guerrero's passing on February 11, 2017, serves as a poignant reminder of the impact one individual can have on an entire industry. He may be gone, but his memory will live on through the countless lives he touched, both in and out of the ring.
