Rey Mysterio was recently inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and ahead of his big induction he handed new LWO shirts to Legado Del Fantasma and declared that collectively they would be known as the LWO moving forward. The new LWO seems to be catching on with fans as it was recently reported that LWO merchandise is selling very well.
Chavo Guerrero recently appeared on Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge where he said that he loved the original LWO in WCW and he used to wear the shirts. The former ECW World Champion noted that he doesn’t have a problem with WWE bringing the LWO back, but also acknowledged that the company is rehashing old ideas.
“Rey Mysterio’s angles right now – it’s nothing against Rey, don’t get me wrong, Rey has some say in it, but anything with Eddie, Eddie’s name, this kind of stuff, he’s gotta have a little say in it – but what’s the two angles they’re in? They’re in ‘I’m your Papi!’ which that was from what? 2003? 2004? And they’re doing LWO rehash, which was in like 1997 [1998].”
“Okay, what else are we gonna do? Are we gonna go have Macho Man [Randy Savage] get married again? Are we gonna have a guy with long hair saying, ‘Say your prayers, eat your vitamins,’ and just call him something else [other than Hulk Hogan]? It’s the same [thing].”
