Chavo Sr., also known as Chavo Classic, was a part of a legendary wrestling family. His father was the legendary Gory Guerrero, and his brothers, Mando, Hector and Eddie, also all found incredible success in the world of professional wrestling.

Chavo Classic made his way to WWE in 2004. He would enter himself into a feud between Chavo Jr. and Eddie. This would go on to Classic becoming the oldest then-Cruiserweight Champion in history, defeating Chavo Jr. and Spike Dudley in a triple threat match.

My greatest compliment-
visiting with Chavo Sr before Eddie's funeral-he said "today you are a Guerrero". Loved that man! RIP ChavoClassic
