Chavo Guerrero Compares WWE's New LWO To A Mediocre Hollywood Remake

Chavo Guerrero Jr. has a bone to pick with WWE over its revamped Latin World Order storyline, comparing the recent plot to a Hollywood "rehash" during a recent interview.

During his appearance on the "WrestleBinge" podcast with Bill Apter this week, Guerrero voiced criticism about WWE bringing the LWO back into the fold.

"Okay, so, I love the LWO," Guerrero prefaced, before continuing, "But now, WWE is kind of...god, it's kind of like you know how Hollywood redoes these movies because they can't really think? When Hollywood redid 'Footloose,' I'm like, really? Like, you can't think of anything better? You got to redo Footloose? They're redoing some of these movies and some are good, some really aren't good."

Despite his feelings, Guerrero said he's "happy" for the new generation of WWE stars involved in the LWO storyline. In recent months, WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio has revived the LWO and recruited Latin WWE Superstars, like Santos Escobar, Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, and Zelina Vega, to join the group, which Eddie Guerrero first started during the late 1990s in WCW.

But still, Guerrero Jr. said it feels like WWE is simply revisiting storylines that were already done in the past.

"What's the two angles [the LWO are] in?" Guerrero said. "They're in 'I'm Your Papi,' which that was from, what, 2003? 2004? And they're doing LWO rehash, which was in like '97. It's, okay, what else we're going to do? We're going to go have Macho Man go get married again? Okay, are we going to have a guy with long hair saying, 'Say your prayers, eat your vitamins!' and just call him something else? It's the same thing."
