Chavo Guerrero Explains Why El Grande Americano Storyline Worked in AAA

Chavo Guerrero explains why the El Grande Americano storyline worked in AAA.

A few weeks back, Chad Gable was unmasked as the Original El Grande Americano at AAA Noches de Los Grandes. His match against El Grande Americano was widely praised by fans.

Speaking in a recent Gabby AF interview, Guerrero discussed this match and why it worked.

“I don’t think it would have worked if Chad [Gable] wasn’t as good as he was. If he was [someone] they just put the mask on, just a guy that was a mediocre wrestler or whatever and went out there, it would have stayed kind of a joke. It would have stayed a kind of not a joke, but kind of a ha-ha type thing with what they want it to be. But because Chad is so good and because Ludwig is so good, they got over. They got to where they’re cheering Ludwig. They’re cheering him as El Grande Americano. He became a babyface when he was such a heel when he took over the gimmick when Chad got hurt. It’s really, I mean, it’s just a nod to those guys. They’re really good. That’s just why it works.” 

Elsewhere in the interview, Guerrero explained his producer role with AAA. Fans can read his comments here.
