Chavo Guerrero On Tribalism In Wrestling: ‘I Don’t Like When The Fans Criticize Somebody Else Just Because They Don’t Like The Brand’
Chavo Guerrero comments on tribalism in wrestling.
There are many different wrestling promotions in existence today. It’s a great thing for wrestling fans, but many are loyal to one company and hate the others.
Speaking in a recent Gabby AF interview, Guerrero was discussing the crossovers in wrestling today. He talked about a potential scenario where the WWE Championship could be defended against the AEW Champion.
The host mentioned that the fans of these promotions will have to get along, and they won’t let that happen. Guerrero then commented on tribalism among fans.
“I don’t understand that, why people do that. I get that you have people like WWE more, AEW more, whatever. But wrestling’s wrestling. I don’t like when the fans criticize somebody else just because they don’t like the brand. If it’s a damn good match, I don’t care if it was on TNA, in New Japan, AAA, I don’t care if it’s an indie show. If it’s a good match, it’s a damn good match.”
He then mentioned Rey Mysterio, saying people like him because he’s been to so many different places.
“There’s people like John Cena who was only a WWE guy. If people who like other organizations, they don’t like John Cena. I’m like, why? Because he never wrestled in AEW or TNA or whatever. If he puts on a good match, he puts on a good match. There’s a reason why people really love Rey Mysterio is because he’s gone other places. He came from different places. So he’s got his fandom, people love him. Probably not just for his matches, but for him wrestling other places. But guys like MJF… MJF is really an AEW guy. So don’t hate on him when you’re a WWE person. He’s pretty damn good. He’s great.
Elsewhere in the interview, Guerrero commented on potentially wrestling Rey Mysterio again. Fans can read his comments here.
