Crazy that Chavo was meant to permeantly keep that gimmick. Then...yeah Eddie's passing and all, even Vince couldn't let Chavo keep a dumb gimmick like that after such a tragedy personal to him
I liked this gimmick for its over the top silliness. I even brought a sign at house show that said "I Want to be White Like Kerwin White." Chavo saw it and waved back. I mention it about when I met him in person few years back.
I honestly found this gimmick hilarious too. His theme was excellent. But should never have gone higher than Heat with the odd Raw/Smackdown appearance. Can't believe he got on Unforgiven with it.
This was a time when Chapelle's show was still in the popular zeitgeist. As fucking whacky as this gimmick is, it reflected pop culture of the time really well. And Chavo, pro as he is, gave it his all. Alternatively I also really liked the Star Dust character despite Cody seeming to not like it. That was when I became a real fan of his, honestly, cuz he took that shit sandwhich and did his all with it and made it something. His run with his brother for the tag belts was really good.
I was a kid when this happened and I thought Kerwin was great. Even at 11 or 12 I got the joke. All my friends who liked wrestling at the time also got it and thought it was hilarious. I don't get a lot of this recent stuff of saying certain things were terrible, disgusting etc when lots of these trendy things had practically the opposite view when they happened
That's kind of you just using yours and your friends experience to speak for everybody though, the gimmick didn't do anything for me either way though I found his segments funny but I remember a couple of forums I posted on at the time absolutely hated it and Power Slam magazine in the UK, which was non kayfabe, panned it too from what I remember. Don't think it's a retrospective thing, it was a pretty tasteless gimmick at a time when WWE was doing a lot of tasteless shit, pretty sure Vince called Cena My N*gga around this exact time too.
Kerwin White *could* have been interesting. Comes off as a man who has internalised so much negative stereotyping about his ethnicity & culture that he rejects it completely. Long term you'd look to have him reconnect with and fully embrace his cultural heritage. Maybe some funny angles with Eddie trying to 'deprogram' him, 'forcing' him to consume Latino food & media.
It's interesting seeing how things would transpire post Kerwin White. Chavo would have a few more matches with Shelton on Raw, but by then he was Chavo again and Shelton was a heel so the roles were reversed. One of those matches was when Chavo "retired" after he lost an IC title match. In addition to that, Chavo and Dolph would reunite at one point in 2011 as a tag team of sorts back when Dolph was closely associated with Vickie Guerrero. And I remember they alluded to their past teaming when Chavo was Kerwin White on at least one episode of WWE Superstars.
I remember hating Kerwin White as a kid, now I find the gimmick absolutely hilarious, not every gimmick should have great competitive matches, Kerwin White was supposed to be a little lame, in spite of Chavo being a very talented in-ring athlete, it's weird how in 2005-6 WWE were clearly trying to do SOMETHING with Chavo because he got a lot of heat for both this gimmick and his feud with Rey Mysterio (which was awesome), yet in 2007 they jobbed him out to freaking Hornswoggle...
I met Chaco on one of the wrestling cruises. He was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He took a selfie with me and sat and talked for a few. Thank you for that❤️
I mean credit to Chavo for embracing the gimmick. I think this was when Eddie died and this ended out of respect for his uncle. For Character work, this is entertaining. Match wise, meh.
Hey at least dolph didn’t start off as the gobbledygooker unlike Chavo’s other uncle Hector. Not to mention being a caddy can’t be too much worse than being a male cheerleader.
03:50 Kerwin White almost breaks character by momentarily reverting to his Mexican roots by pulling out a coat-hanger and attempting a move known as the "back alley abortion" 😳
I get what the gimmick was supposed to be, and trust me, if done right it could have been something. Only problem was it's Chavo, and Chavo isn't a slouch in the ring. It's kinda hard to boo him once the bell rings.
Those same people make jokes and laugh at other ethnicities religions, etc., but get all in their feelings when it's their turns. I always make sure to remind them of their hypocrite ways.
People who dump on Kerwin or Cryme Tyme seemingly miss how they both have clear, heavy influence from Chapelle's Show, which was huge at this time and had similarly over the top racial caricature humor.
It's crazy when you realize there are quite a few wrestlers who have been with WWE for over 10 years that have had careers so underwhelming and forgettable that you can't name a single memorable moment or feud they've had.
Shelton was a genuine future star in 2005. He had a great look, and his moves were so crisp and natural-looking. Why the hell did WWE let him waste away with Kerwin White on Heat?
@19:30 It should be noted that the Raw and Smackdown for that week was taped on the same Sunday in Minneapolis that Eddie passed because they went on a European tour afterwards that included the next week's Raw & Smackdown tapings from Sheffield, England.
The green 'sweater' I think is supposed to be an PGA Masters jacket. Imo pretty funny. Masters champions get to keep the green jacket for a year. Specifically, they get to keep the green jacket away from the club for as long as they're the reigning Masters champion. From the day they win the Masters green jacket, winners can take the green jacket wherever they wish.Apr 10, 2022
Yeah I don’t care if people liked this or not I thought Chavo was funny in this role and the theme song was awesome. Hope you get around to Simon Dean at some point he’s my favorite campy, mid-card, wwe heel.
15:33 I never knew until this video that Val Venis had ever adopted green ring attire which makes me see him as a bald Ken Shamrock. No offense to Ken Shamrock.
Hawk my lord... Please do a complete video on Norman Smiley. He was so underrated and one of the most entertaining guys in WCW... I know he wrestled too many matches for Ring of the hawk but at least a video honoring him or something like that my giant bird lord
You are one of the most unbiased you really evaluate the run despite the wrestler can we get a how good was Eddie Guerrero and Chris benoit's world title runs from 2004
This gimmick was one of my first pro wrestling exposures, and I remember hating the hell out of him. I genuinely thought I'd be a huge Chavo fan. Even made him my heavyweight champion in one of the video games. TL;DR kids are stupid and have no taste
It was neither. It wasn’t even the kind of “offensive” that neckbeards swarm to protect like “no way they’d show this today hahah”. It was just boring and a clear waste of talent.
Couldn’t do this gimmick nowadays lol. I miss the times when entertainment and comedy were just that…entertaining and comical. Things become an issue when it’s made to be an issue. Shit was funny. Im also glad Tahiti didn’t drool his green mist out during his entrance; it looked close 🤮
@@BigmanDogs It’s not the fact he’s pretending to be white, it’s the fact that he , ‘couldn’t achieve anything as Chavo, and blames Hispanic people’. That’s the part that would be “controversial “.
@Bobby Woods Lool up "Kerwin white talks about shelton benjamin on raw". He isn't actually blaming Hispanic people or other minorities. He is pretending to be racist in order to mock White people for being racist. That's why he says "I represent all of you" (white people) and then proceeds to say a bunch of racist things with a smile on his face.
Off topic but if tna had a ruthless aggression era / attitude era which years do you think would it? I'd say ruthless but be 2005 at 07 to 2012 for attitude
It was always weird hearing Coach trying to put him over since they are both heels, while trying to dance around the fact that his catch phrase was "if it's not white it's not right." I bet he hated putting this gimmick over.
question? what is your opinion on if a tall wrestler like Dijak or Big Bill uses a Samoan Drop they're not fat or Samoan but its a guy about 7 ft doing it?
I’m not Hispanic but I am mixed: half black half white. I loved this gimmick because it’s something I’ve seen a million times, not that there’s anything wrong with that. It’s America. But I appreciate what they were trying to parody and I still find the humor in it today even though there is a less than zero percent chance this shit would ever fly today even if it was meant to be ironic.
Shelton Benjamin is probably the most underutilized wrestler in wwe history. Cornette said he was the best wrestler out of that ovw class with cena, Batista, Lesnar and Orton. Can’t believe they released him again.
Everyone of these YWC pages are loaded w content where theyre essentially just taking every comedy angle in the history of pro wrestling and bashing it as a way of performatively presenting themselves as knowledgable smarks… Most of the things that these channels bash ie. Russo’s work, Vince’s comedy angles etc. were great in the moment they existed in and trying to diminish these moments is the antithesis of what pro wrestling is all about.
I’m split. This is like a Golddust/Butch situation where it erases the old pure wrestler part but in return you get actual personality. Knowing Chavo’s booking, maybe Kerwin White was right.
I had a feeling this would happen to Chavo at the time. It was funny. His cruiserweight title run was so boring & the lie cheat steal gimmick sucked too
Only reason I didn't care for the gimmick is cuz Chavo was the type who didn't NEED it. His work 2-3 years before was just fine as Eddie's tag team partner and as Eddie's rival. Was able to work AND talk and most cruiserweights can ONLY work. Now if it was current day and we're talking about Dom Mysterio, he would be PERFECT for the role. Cuz I am NOT buying Dom being Konnan 2.0, even if it IS Rey's idea (and it is, trust me).
Thank The good Lord Mcmahon Dropped This Gimmick Entirely Shortly After Eddie's Death. That's WWE In A Nutshell.What The Hell Was WWE Thinking At The Time?
I thought it was hilarious, especially since he would do the little wave. But my god, I can't believe Vince was going to trap Chavo in this gimmick for the rest of his tenure.
The point to the Kerwin White gimmick was that no one should get rid of their heritage. The gimmick told a story. You were SUPPOSED to hate Kerwin White and wish for Chavo Guerrero to be himself. White is a heel gimmick. White wasn't as good as Chavo. It would of played out more to show more of that story, but was of course cut short because of Eddie's death. Then he went back to Chavo Guerrero.
Crazy that Chavo was meant to permeantly keep that gimmick. Then...yeah Eddie's passing and all, even Vince couldn't let Chavo keep a dumb gimmick like that after such a tragedy personal to him
Which makes it funny dieting the Eddie tribute show he dressed as kerwin white haha
Also crazy that Chavo wanted to take the gimmick further and come out dressed in a white sheet with a hood.
The gimmick was great…

How about Bret The Hitman Hart's time in WCW?
How about a ROH with the Mexicools in WWE? According to Cagematch, they had 15 matches not counting house shows and Velocity
