Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Salvador Guerrero IV (born October 20, 1970) better known by his ring names Chavo Guerrero and Chavo Guerrero Jr., is an American professional wrestler.

He is best known for his tenures in World Championship Wrestling (WCW), World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/WWE), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), All Elite Wrestling (AEW), Lucha Underground (LU), Ring of Honor (ROH) and Nación Lucha Libre (NLL).

As a singles wrestler, Guerrero Jr. is a former ECW World Champion in WWE, and a six-time Cruiserweight Champion between WWE and WCW.

He also achieved success in tag team wrestling, being a five-time world tag team champion – winning the WWE Tag Team Championship twice with Eddie Guerrero as Los Guerreros, the WCW World Tag Team Championship once with Corporal Cajun as the Misfits in Action, and the TNA World Tag Team Championship twice with Hernandez.

Between WCW, WWE, and TNA, he has held a dozen total championships, including one world championship.

Salvador was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.

Guerrero grew up watching wrestling and going to wrestling promotions where he watched his family wrestle.

There was also a wrestling ring in the Guerreros' back yard.

Chavo played with his uncle Eddie Guerrero constantly in the wrestling ring while practicing moves on each other.

Guerrero made his professional wrestling debut in May 1994 wrestling in Mexico.

He toured with New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) during 1996, featuring mainly on the lower card.

Guerrero competed in the Best of the Super Junior IV tournament but did not earn enough points to become the victor.

He joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in May 1996.

He made his in-ring debut wrestling Steven Regal in a dark match.

On July 22—Guerrero's WCW Monday Nitro debut—he lost to Dean Malenko via submission.

On August 3, 1996, Guerrero received his first title shot in WCW against Ric Flair on WCW Saturday Night for the WCW United States Championship.

Flair beat Guerrero via submission to retain his championship.

Guerrero's first pay-per-view (PPV) appearance was in a dark match loss to Konnan on WCW Hog Wild.

Then at WCW WorldWide, on August 11, 1996, he and Eddie Guerrero defeated High Voltage.

After a series of singles wins, Guerrero faced Diamond Dallas Page after a short feud on Fall Brawl in a losing effort on September 15.

While in WCW, Chavo shared the limelight with his uncle Eddie, becoming a reluctant ally of his uncle's. As part of their storyline, Eddie continually tried to make Chavo adopt Eddie's cheating tactics, but he often refused to do so.

Eventually, Guerrero's treatment at the hands of Eddie would drive him "crazy," and he adopted the gimmick of a psycho fixated with a hobby horse he dubbed "Pepé."

This led to a feud with Norman Smiley in which Pepé was thrown into a woodchipper.

Another result of his insanity was his inability to join Eddie's Latino World Order stable, which was a take-off of the nWo.

On June 14, 1998, Chavo defeated his uncle Eddie at The Great American Bash PPV.

In July 1998 at the Bash at the Beach PPV, Guerrero faced Stevie Ray in a "tune up match" before he faced Eddie in a Hair vs Hair match, a match where the winner gets to shave his opponent's hair.

Chavo lost via opposum pin and began to shave his own hair off.

On January 17, 1999 at Souled Out, Guerrero was defeated by Norman Smiley in a match that was booked due to Guerrero's companion Pepe being burnt by Smiley, ending the Pepe gimmick.

Guerrero and Billy Kidman tag teamed for a WCW tag team title tournament held on Nitro.

Guerrero then turned on Kidman after being eliminated from the tournament, starting a feud.

Guerrero faced Kidman for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship on WCW Superbrawl 9 on February 21, 1999 but failed to win the championship.

He was also a member of the comedy stable The Misfits in Action (MIA), consisting of himself, Hugh Morris (better known as Bill DeMott), Lash LeRoux and Van Hammer.

They were managed by Major Gunns.

Guerrero was billed as "Lieutenant Loco."

As Loco, he defeated Daffney for the Cruiserweight Championship in a triangle match also involving Disco Inferno on June 7, 2000 episode of Thunder.

On June 11, 2000 at The Great American Bash, Lt. Loco defeated Disco Inferno to retain the title.

Loco lost the championship to Lance Storm a month later on Nitro.

At WCW Mayhem, Loco left the MIA and reverted to Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Guerrero won the Cruiserweight Championship from Mike Sanders on the December 6 episode of Thunder.

He retained the title against Rey Mysterio Jr. on February 18, 2001 at SuperBrawl Revenge.
