5 Parents who managed their children in WWE

#3 Chavo Guerrero (managed by Chavo Classic)

Chavo and Chavo Classic on WWE SmackDown, 2004

The Road to WrestleMania 20 saw Chavo Guerrero aiming to win Rey Mysterio's WWE Cruiserweight title. At No Way Out, Chavo's father, Chavo Guerrero Sr. helped him defeat Mysterio for the Cruiserweight title. For the next few months, his father, now dubbed as Chavo Classic, managed him and also got involved in the Cruiserweight title picture. Chavo went on to successfully defend the title in a Cruiserweight Open at WrestleMania.

Soon after, Chavo lost the belt to Jacqueline but won it back at Judgment Day 2004. Chavo Classic later won the title in a Triple Threat match that also involved Spike Dudley. The ending to the match saw Chavo Classic accidentally pinning Chavo Guerrero and becoming the oldest wrestler to win the Cruiserweight title. He was later defeated by Rey Mysterio for the belt. Chavo Classic was fired by WWE in June 2004. He had been no-showing several SmackDown episodes for a while at that point and this led to his firing.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
