Kerwin White

Salvador Chavito Guerrero III also known as Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (born January 7, 1971 in El Paso, Texas) is a member of a prominent Mexican professional wrestling family, and wrestler for World Wrestling Entertainment on the RAW brand perfoming under the character Kerwin White.

His grandfather Gory Guerrero is one of the most famous wrestlers in Mexican history. His father, Chavo Guerrero, Sr., was also a legendary wrestler in Mexico, and worked in WWE as a part-time wrestler and full-time manager. One of his uncles, Eddie Guerrero, is currently one of WWE's biggest stars. Eddie performs for the SmackDown! brand, as did Chavo Sr. (aka Chavo Classic, before his recent firing from WWE.) Chavo Jr. has two other uncles (Mando and Hector) who have had successful careers in the business, although not at the level of Gory, Chavo Sr., or Eddie.

Career

Chavo Jr. started wrestling in 1994, and very quickly joined WCW. While in WCW, Chavo shared the limelight with his uncle Eddie, becoming a reluctant ally of his uncle's. As part of their storyline, Eddie would continually try to make Chavo adopt Eddie's cheating tactics, but Chavo often refused to do so. Eventually, his treatment at the hands of Eddie would drive him "insane" and Chavo adopted the gimmick of a psycho fixated with a hobby-horse he dubbed "Pepè." This lead to an infamous feud with Norman Smiley, which resulted in Smiley tossing Chavo's horse into a wood chipper.

After the demise of WCW, Chavo was eventually signed by the WWF (now WWE). He spent time as an undercard wrestler before becoming a trainer for one of WWE's Tough Enough competitions. Soon after returning to the active roster, Chavo was aligned with his uncle Eddie, forming the successful tag team "Los Guerreros." In contrast to his previous WCW storyline with his uncle, Chavo fully adopted his uncle's policy of "Lie, Cheat and Steal" to win matches as part of the gimmick. The duo would soon win the tag titles.

The tag team eventually turned face and as Eddie's popularity grew, Eddie began seeking the WWE Title. In a storyline, his uncle's singles title ambitions made Chavo jealous and Chavo broke from the team and became a heel wrestler in the cruiserweight division soon capturing the WWE Cruiserweight title on several occasions.

On an August 24, 2004 taping of SmackDown!, Chavo Guerrero suffered a concussion due to Billy Kidman's Shooting Star Press and had to be taken to hospital. Chavo's partner that night, it was rumored that Jamie Noble, was supposed to pull Chavo out of the ring and failed to do so, but these rumors were later found out to be false.

Chavo returned several months later as face, extracting revenge from Kidman, but shortly returned to his heel persona with no real explanation. Chavo went on to become Cruiserweight Champion once again at No Way Out on February 20, 2005 after eliminating Paul London in a 6-way cruiserweight gauntlet match. London eliminated the other 4 members of the match, including the cruiserweight champion Sho Funaki. He would lose the title to Paul London in a battle royal a few weeks later.

On June 30, Chavo became one of the last minute trades in the 2005 WWE Draft, which saw him jump from SmackDown! to RAW. The next week, on RAW, he denounced his Hispanic heritage in favor of the Anglo-American way. This came after two weeks of being battered by the Mexican faction, The Mexicools. No longer to be referred to as "Chavo", now to be known simply as Kerwin White, a stereotypical, middle-class white Anglo-American man.

Soon after his debut, White started making suggestive remarks towards people of the African-American race, specifically directed towards Shelton Benjamin. On an episode of RAW, Kerwin cost Shelton a match against Rob Conway. Shelton Benjamin defeated Kerwin White by disqualification the following week when Kerwin attacked Shelton with his golf club. At WWE Unforgiven 2005, White was beaten by Benjamin. White recently hired Nick Nemeth to help him in his matches.
