Everyone always talked about how great Eddie Guerrero was. And he was. Not as many people talk about Chavo though. Why is this? Do wrestling fans and historians not give Chavo his due or was there something missing from Chavo's in ring ability/character?
I am referring to the nephew Chavo, not the brother
?
I think it is because he didn't have as much charisma or character in the ring and on the mic.
?
Chavo was underrated.

for my part... not sure if I speak for anyone else or what the reality of the situation was... but I always got the vibe that Eddie was just 'Eddie', his family name certainly didn't Hurt him, but it didn't define him either...
with Chavo Jr. I always saw the proverbial chip on his shoulder saying "I'm a Guerrero dammit"...
Maybe this was because Eddie was a 5-10 years behind his Brothers in 'Breaking Out' in the US, while Chavo Jr was only a year or two behind Eddie in WCW... but it leaves Chavo Jr looking like the 'other (kind of like how B-Movies, especially in the 80s/90s, would get the brother of a notable actor so they could use the Last Name in the Box art; see Don Swayze, Frank Stallone and Joe Estevez, among others)
