Chris may i save your video in a playlist i have of interviews i like? Chavo and his family are my favorite in the industry
Ok in regards to kayfabe being dead and wrestling being fake.... the story lines of course are scripted but the athleticism by no means is fake. Do we watch a movie and say its fake? No. Same idea. The story isn't real but their skill sure is
Are we getting JTG eventually? Looking forward to Lillian Garcia and the two microphones one!
Ok so here's my dream when im older be a professional wrestler and do a interview with Chris van vliet 😂 that's on my list 👍
@@chivkid3097 I look forward to interviewing you when you become a wrestler!
Poor Chavo , he’s really had to deal with some very unfortunate circumstances In his life, affecting the people around him he loves!!! Chavo doesn’t get enough credit with being a very strong and resilient man with everything he’s gone through in his life!!! Nothing but respect, admiration, and love for Chavo and the Guerrero family!!
like Benoit went crazy after Eddie died. could you imagine how chavo felt after Chris and his family died..
Yep
@@tj-mb3fy wasn't he also the one to find eddie after he passed and attempted CPR until paramedics got there?
And the benoits...
@@matthewmciver7615 Yes, Chavo Found them.
one of the most Underrated Wrestlers love and Respect for the Guerrero Family
Appreciate it dude, means a lot!
I grew up watching Chavo before I really appreciated the art of the wrestling industry, when I looked back at his work I realised how underrated he was.
Underrated by who? Smark
People dont realize that this man chavo was apart of the smackdown six back then...this guy is incredible oooo chavoo
deadlockite..or bonafide hogdipper?
"Billionaires don't like to spend their own money but other people money"......this is 100% true.
I mean that does seem to make sense.
That's how they stay billionaires
When you hear ‘Oooooh Chavo’ you know you're in for an amazing match!
As a young kid who believed in kayfabe, I hated Chavo.
Years later, when I got back into wrestling, my respect for Chavo shot through the roof after Dark Side Of The Ring because I loved Chris Benoit as a kid. David Benoit's heartbreaking answer to who helped him (only Chavo and Jericho) after the tragedy sealed it for me.
Not all heroes wear capes.
COMPLETELY agree with Chavo's view on never allowing the fans to see the "string". I catch myself yelling at the TV sometimes saying "Lay that shit in, quit exposing the business." Even though i know its a working punch i want to get lost in the match, forgetting its predetermined.
Another thing i dislike about todays pro wrestling is that they make themselves too accessible. All over social media talking their personal lives. I understand they are human but is it that hard to make 2 profiles, one personal, one business. Man i miss Kayfabe. The Mystic is gone.
That's why I love MJF. He's that asshole everywhere. On TV, at conventions.
Kinda disagree and agree; I disagree because ultimately at the end of the day fans would end up thinking that the wrestlers are their character(the more realistic characters) which will just cause problems, but I agree that they're too accessible because I be wanting to follow wrestlers and they really sometimes need to just...stop posting about extremely personal stuff.
Facts! That's why it makes me happy when i go too events and see little kids cheering or booing, they still think it's real and should always. The Internet and dirtsheets ruined it lol
Speaking as an independent wrestler, I can say that I’ve established some friendships with wonderful people who met me through seeing me on a show then following my social media stuff. I’ve attended some of their kids birthdays, their weddings, even some funerals but there’s always a fan page for those who just want content 🤷🏻♂️
I love it and hate it but you have the option to not follow wrestlers online
Benoits case still hits us different. I grew up watching Chris Benoit and his career is hard to ignore and erase. Regardless of what the fans say online, he will never be in the Hall of Fame but we can't forget what he did in pro wrestling industry. Everytime I see someone do a crossface or a flying headbutt, I will always think of Benoit.
I've been watching old Nitro episodes and man, it hurts my heart a little every time one of Benoit's matches come up. I don't hate him, I just feel sad that the world was and still to some extent is such a place that still lets people down today that suffer from mental health issues.
Even Triple H and Shawn Michaels started using the cross face like right after he died and they never used to do that move
@@TheDropkick I remember seeing Triple H use the crossface at WrestleMania 24, that was the first time to my knowledge that the move was used after the Benoit tragedy and it really hit me on another level. Then they gave Daniel Bryan a variation of the crossface and even the bloody diving headbutt (which definitely contributed to his broken neck), it's pretty much obvious they want these moves to not be associated with Benoit anymore, and it's true younger fans will associate them with Bryan now but us older fans will always remember.
Not only do I hope David becomes a wrestler if he wants, but I just hope he has a happy life regardless of what he decides to do in life I really just want him to be happy and successful in life in general, it would be awesome to see him in the ring, but unfortunately his dads actions will never be forgotten and because he’s a Benoit even though David seems like an awesome person in the interviews I’ve seen with him, he will always be tied to what happened with his dad unfortunately it shouldn’t be like that but people are dumb, people should just let David be himself and let him build his own life and live and just be David, he shouldn’t be remembered for something he had no control of, David is his own man and it’s his life and I wish him nothing but success in life
@@kotasklubhouse6445 Agreed 100%. It just doesn't help David's case that he wants his ring name to be.... Chris Benoit Jr.
Most underrated wrestlers of all time
Sean O'haire
Chavo guerrero
Chuck Pulambo
Steve blackman
Ken shamrock
Lance Storm, William Regal, Test, Owen Hart, Christian, and Kane are way too underrated to even be on this list.
WWE really slept on them
Don't forget Test. RIP.
test spent 8 years in wwe without getting a push
He has gotten the underrated card
I might be wrong...
they all are my
favourites .
"Los Guerreros" one of the best tag teams in wwe alongside eddie & rey. Chavo deserves alot more credit than he gets, such an amazing wrestler
Man, I recall when he started out in WCW. I was like wait this dude is great.
Guerrero’s,dudleys and the Hardy’s are the top three tag teams IMO
Edge and Christian?
Man I always hated him for making Rey quit, such an underrated heel
I always loved Chavito. I remember loving Los Guerrero's & when he teamed with his Dad. He's underrated and should've been world champion. Yeah he was ECW champion but that run was a joke. He deserved better. Remember his rivalry with Eddie & his rivalry with Rey over the cruiserweight championship? I miss those days.
Eddie Guerrero to me is my hero, my inspiration he is the reason I fell in love with professional wrestling. I can't thank you guys enough for keeping his memory alive there is only one latino heat and he is the GOAT
One of my all-time favorite wrestlers. My very favorite Hispanic wrestler
SAME
I was about 8 watching Eddie for the first time in 2003 and I was always a huge fan. I used to run into the kitchen where my parents would be during eddies entrance and go “viva la raza” and do the arm shake thing and the slap on my chest. He past away when I was 10 and it hit hard. I still remember hearing about it at school not believing my friends. And then raw came on that same night and I was devastated and still am to this day. I can put on a Eddie match and start tearing up
This man has been through so much in his life, especially when it comes to those close to him. Wish him nothing but love and success.
CHAVO IS SOOO UNDERRATED
Great content Chris! You’re so positive with great energy!
💪💪
Chavo being able to overcome his less than good gimmicks in wwe and the tragedy that was him finding eddie and him being close to chris bless chavo even tho I didnt appreciate him as a wrestler until I really understood wrestling in the grander scheme of things
Another masterpiece from the one and only Fleet-machine!
not gonna lie, that closing Viva La Razza from Chavo made alot of people smile including myself ofc so I cannot explain the gratitude for this interview since Chavo and especially Eddie was a huge part of why I got into wrestling in the first place
Keep it up my man and may I say, you lookin' fine af fam!
I've been waiting for this interview since I saw the preview. You're killing it Chris! Wonderful interview, hearing about Chavito's new projects, him talking about Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero. Man, thank you for doing what you do. Can't wait to see more!
Always wondered why Chavo never got a push post-Los Guerreros/Eddie's death. Super underrated talent
I think Chavo needed a break I remember the night after WM 22 he lost an Intercontinental title match on Raw and I don't remember him coming back for a few months till he turned on Rey
He won the ecw title.
I heard Vince did want to push him but he turned it down hence why Rey got that push
Can’t wait to watch this your interviews never get boring Chris keep it up my man!
Thanks man!
@@ChrisVanVliet anytime Chris!
Chavo looking like a Mexican Stone cold Steve Austin.
Looking like the Mexican version of Alberto Del Rio
*Drinks some Chelas*
@@blueedreamsx *WHAT???* that's crazy, I always thought Alberto was like the Scottish version of Drew McIntyre................
@@DyingIinyourarms 😂😂😂
Not really.
Most underrated legend of all time.
Another great interview CVV! Absolutely loved hearing Chavo's story & that he is doing so well.
Thank you so much for this. I had just been watching old clips of Eddie, Rey, Chris and Chavo and thinking how none of the three (not including Chris) were on my newest WWE game. Such awesome discussion between the two of you. And Lillian teaser at the end...perfect! Have a great day!
Glad to see Chavo is doing very well. He and Eddie were a big part of my childhood. I loved Smackdown during the first split after Wrestlemania X8.
Those Los Guerreros vs Angle/Benoit matches on smackdown around that time were amazing
@@chrisbasdeo9751 I first started watching around that time too so it was a really great introduction to wrestling for me
Wow. Never actually seen anything from Chavo, other than his wrestling persona. He is so humble, funny and down to earth. Extra respect earned from me here.
37.00 Benoit talk - your welcome
Look at you doing gods work! 🙏🏻😂 Thank you! I was hoping someone would make this comment and you didn’t disappoint.
Chavo is low key one of the most important living figures in wrestling today
Have to watch this later. Always loved Chavo I was in the crowd the night he won the ECW title I was one of a few fans that stood up and clapped for him
Brilliant interview chris and Chavo is so down to earth. Miss him and Eddie and Chris benoit back in the day
That "is this on?" was so on point 😳
Yo jimmy hit me with that Triple eichhhh
1:13
I can listen to Chavo all day! Thanks Chris for another amazing interview
2020 has been terrible but the CVV channel has been on fire and Awesome 👌
Honestly, I think this is your best interview ever! 🙌🏻
Chavo, absolutely happy for you!
Really miss you in WWE though, they need someone like you. You deserved a good run as WWE CHAMPION!
Chavo needs his podcast on youtube...
One of my all-time faves. I caught to him way back in WCW. So talented even back then.
I've met many wrestlers over the years but one of the most humble, respectful and kind hearted, was Chavo.
He makes you feel like more than just a fan. He makes it feel like HE is honored to meet you, like you're a friend.
I will never forget meeting him and the impact he had on me. The way he rated other wrestlers so highly when I commented he was one of the greatest Cruiserweight champion of all time. He said my compliment was too kind. Man is truly a Legend and should have been WWE champ, even just once.
I worked out with Chavo once in a hotel gym in Australia, we saw Man vs Wild on the tv and Chavo just looked at it shaking his head in amazement. It was so awesome. Forever love Chavito. Plus his feud with Rey and Eddie in WWE was great and he's one of the best comedy heels in the bussiness.
This was a great interview Chris, you asked some really good questions!
Thanks for watching it!
This is cool!! Chavo is such a cool guy!!! Lol Ive watched his interview with Jericho at least 10 times!!
Thanks for getting this one done Chris, love hearing from Chavo and learning he has a podcast!! He deserved so much more but had an awesome career💪🏽💙
Chavo was the man doesn't get enough credit for being awesome
Only 1/3 into this video but man Chris you did it again! Keep up the great work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So When we can have Fans Back
I think a Royal Rumble "Ooh Chavo" would go down well
I loved Lucha Underground's first and second season. I never watched the seasons after that. It was not trying to beat WWE at its own game. It did it's own thing.
Random comment... Chavo’s backsplash on his wall is nice
I watched the Benoit Dark Side of the Ring with non wrestling fans. They all thought Eddie and Chris were lovers.
Interesting take on that because I never thought about that.
Even the thumbnail of the episode on youtube makes it look if they were together
37:34 Chris Benoit
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks g
I follow Chavo on IG but haven't really paid attention to his projects. After watching this interview, I'm hooked to whatever he's working on so I'll be listening to his podcast and trying out the beer soon. He's a good man, thanks for interview Chris!
I really enjoyed this interview! I was a Chavo fan growing up, so it was good to catch up with him. I wish you guys explored more into Chavo working with the "WWE" ECW brand and the La Familia storyline
Eddie is greatly missed.
I missed Chavo in WWE, it's good to see him doing good.
Thank you for the video Chris.
I found Chavo's beer completely by accident. My friends took me to the place where they brew it (Alosta Brewery) for my birthday this year and being a huge Los Guerreros fan, I tried some. I liked it so much I bought a 4 pack of tall ones and a T-shirt which is really cool looking. I can't wait to try it to make a Michilada in the future. Highly Recommended!
This was great learning the mind and wisdom Chaco has for wrestling.
Got me deep in the FEELS when he talked about Eddie. God I miss him. Eddie’s life is a TRUE testimony of salvation and redemption.
Respect to Chavo man.... everything that guy been thru..
I didn't even know he has a podcast. Something new to listen to on my morning commute.
Yayyy! I was bored and then this video got uploaded. Thanks Chris👍
Gotta grab me some chips and soda and enjoy watching it😂👌
I watch and listen to every one of your videos on you tube and i must say what a great guy Chavo is. This is by far one of most favourite of your interviews to date, it was so interesting and Chavo has such a great background and amazing story to tell.
I remember meeting him and Vickie last year and telling them how much they both and Eddie and Rey meant to me as a Mexican kid growing up. Los Guerreros will always be my fav tag team!
Same here man! I'm Puerto Rican and grew up loving all of these guys you mentioned. Anytime Latino talents do well it's relatable and makes me proud! Arriba la raza
Imagine Chavo goes shopping, stands near the register and the cashier is like "Oooh Chavo".
One of the best things to see is professional wrestlers doing well after they hang up the boots.
Great to see Chavo in a good spot with his life and another great interview CVV.
Can’t wait to see you hit that one millionth subscriber, will be well earned.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more friendly interviewer than CVV. Subbed, and God bless Chavo!
Chavo was a great heel especially during the La familia angle.
Yes! Chavo! Thank you for acknowledging the change in dynamic and loss of wrestling, what it was and is not today.
Oooooo Chavo! Haha Another awesome video man. Love you Chavo frm NZ!
Chavo why didn't you go over to Chris Benoit home when you got his call and texts or call the authorities to check on him, because it seems like he was asking you for help
Chavo was in Benoit house that week! Where did he mention that? He doesn't. Because as soon as people realize that a lot more will start asking questions. Why? Because he already knew where Chris lived at. Why would he need an address to be sent to him? Dude lied to the WWE Talent Relations. about receiving texts from Chris. To do what? Oh, I wanted to protect Chris. Chavo is a liar.
Great interview Chris, Chavo is the man, so underrated in WWE, really enjoyed his run in Impact Wrestling 👏👏👏
Chavo is one of the best story tellers ever. Jesus.
Congrats on all the success Chris.
Keep up the hard work and stay strong.
Chavo deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame! Hell, he should be in all the pro-wrestling hall of fames out there! Hope to meet him one day!
When Chavo said “you never really master it” I immediately thought of Kurt Angle, then he literally mentioned him 10 seconds later haha. This was a great interview, thanks Chris! 👍
So happy for Chavo, he and entire Guerrero family have given so much that it's awesome to know all that hard work is paying dividends.
I remember being on a live match when his dad passed away. He wrestled as a professional regardless of his loss.
Love Chavo! Lucha Underground was the shit, that show literally got me back into wrestling full time
Great hearing from a legend in the business and so much more. Another great interview Chris. Mucho respeto mi amigos.
I think Chavo belongs in the WWE HOF either as a singles wrestler or with Eddie as Los Guerreros and make Eddie a 2 time Hall of Famer. Chavo is super talented in the ring and is a good talker.
Eddie made me believe in magic as a kid.
chavo should write a book about his life
Chavo has a huge heart, great fella.
I saw Los Guerreros vs WGTT at a house show a long time ago. After their match, a bunch of wrestlers came out on a balcony to watch the matches. Eddy came out & their was a little girl below him & he kept dropping ice next to her. She couldn't figure out where it was coming from & Eddy looked at us & just did the "Sshhh..." Thing with his finger. My son could not stop laughing
I enjoyed this immensely Chris!! Great job on both sides.Sincerely!!💞💞💞🙋
Chavo is up there with Regal as the most underrated wrestler post attitude era
CVV has officially mastered the "Hey dude, wassup?!?!" look in this thumbnail...
37:33
Chris Benoit
Appreciate it
There's only one thing about the whole Benoit thing that don't add up......Chavo says he got that text from Chris on Sunday, Chris and his family were dead on Friday and Saturday so who texted Chavo??????????
I can vouch for Chavo saying Alosta Brewery is good. It's a small hidden brewery but one of the best breweries I've ever been to. I don't recall drinking his brand but all the beers were great.
People who haven't watched wrestling: "Boo,Wrestling is fake"
wrestling fans and wrestlers: if you think it's fake then take a bump, get chopped, get hit with a kendo stick and or take a table spot
By those standards, it would be unfair to label action scenes in marital arts films as fake because stunt men will occasionally get hit with force. Is that what you're arguing?
@@mifune9634 I'm on the side of pro wrestling, I just pointed out what non wrestlers stereotypical say about wrestling and what a pro wrestler/pro wrestling fan would say
Chavo is such an og man. My top 3 favourite mid carders of all time. He should of got the push instead of rey but thats just my opinion
thats awesome Chavo is open about his faith, it makes sense that wrestlers either turn to God or turn to the drugs and booze, i like what Vince said about it, wrestlers either go one extreme or another , either they find God or turn to drugs, i rather work with the ones that find God, bc they are about family and easier to deal with and show up to work, and want to make money, meet the fans, while those who turn to booze and drugs, its all about them and the money and harder to work with and dont care much about going home to family
Dude. Chavo had a badass theme.
Great interview Chris!
Why would Benoit text Chavo about the dogs if the Benoit family had a next door neighbor who watched the dogs all the time?? Open the case back up.
The Cruiserweight division with Rey and Chavo was the best they had, with Tajiri, Hurricane, Jamie, Kidman, etc
great stuff, will have to subscribe to Chavo's podcast
Sad that he looks old I grew up watching him
I'm appreciating the fact that Chavo revealed Rey's real height being 5'4 like bruh I can relate lol
5'4 here as well 😭😭
He was my most hated wrestler when I was younger watching. I remember hearing his theme song and being like great this guy.... Now that I'm older and after watching lucha underground this dude is just awesome! I can't wait to see what's nxt for him.
Chavos song is imfamous. Just like when we heard John Morrisons Guitar strum when he returned, It brang back those childhood memories 😭 oooohh chavoo
