Chavo Guerrero Talks Reveals How His Most Popular Gimmick In WCW Happened Because Of A Joke With Eddie Guerrero

Chavo Guerrero was very over back in WCW, especially with his stick horse Pepe gimmick, which fans loved dearly. Chavo recently spoke to Why It Ended, where he revealed how he got that gimmick and also how WCW gave more creative control than WWE. This is what he said:

“It was like we just kept coming up with things and I started getting more and more crazy. 1 time we were at [Eddie’s] house and his kids were running around with a stick horse and we were at Tampa wrestling that night. And I’m like, ‘Hey I’m going to use that stick horse tonight,’ he was like, ‘Oh yeah! Cool!’”

“You know in WWE you can’t just come out with a gimmick, a new gimmick without telling them. Well in WCW you kind of could. So I came out with a stick horse, I came out with it and nothing really happened [backstage], I just did it.”

“So the next week I didn’t have the stick horse and there were all these signs for the stick horse, for Pepe, that was the name for the stick horse now. There were all these signs and people with stick horses and I was like, ‘Ah man,’ and Eddie looks at me and goes, ‘You gotta start coming out with this thing, bro.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh okay, the ribs on me.’”

If you remember the gimmick, we’re sure you agree it was his most memorable one in WCW.
