Chavo Guerrero Explains How Having An Offseason is A Great Thing For a Wrestling Promotion

Many consider Chavo Guerrero to be one of the most underrated wrestlers of the last twenty years. He’s been featured in WCW, WWE, ECW, TNA, and other promotion.

Now, he’s being featured in Lucha Underground as a major heel. Chavo has kept no secrets about his belief in Lucha Underground as a promotion and he recently did an interview with the Huffington Post about LU, and it’s appeal.

Why is Lucha Underground attractive? 

“Even if you’re not a wrestling fan, if you watch our show, you’re going to like it. The character development, the backstage vignettes, everything we do it’s just really, really good.”

 

How does having “seasons” benefit the roster? 

“That’s why you see the WWE guys are all — well, a lot of them — are broken down, pretty much, because they go hard! They go really, really hard. All wrestlers go really hard, but there’s no time [for WWE talent] to heal. It’s easy for them to get burnt out.”

“We’ve killed people — killed characters — on the show, so in a sense, we’re killing wrestlers. You don’t see that anywhere else! They’re not killing off Randy Orton, where you can see his blood splatter against the wall, but we’ve actually done that on Lucha Underground!”

Do you believe all wrestling promotions should have an offseason?
