Chavo grew up on professional wrestling, he says that it is his passion as the Guerrero family had influenced him to do so. He says "wrestling is in his blood"
Guerrero grew up watching wrestling and going to wrestling promotions where he watched his family wrestle. There was also a wrestling ring in the Guerreros' back garden. Chavo would play with his uncle Eddie Guerrero constantly in the ring. They would take off the top rope so it would be more beneficial for them to play and practice moves on each other due to them being young. This is how Chavo and his uncle, Eddie would train before getting professional training.
