Chavo Guerrero Talks GLOW Season Three Return Date, Taking Home an Emmy

– Chavo Guerrero spoke with Wrestling Inc for a new interview discussing his work on season three of Netflix’s GLOW and more. Highlights are below:

On GLOW winning an Emmy Award: “Who won the Emmy for stunt coordination last year? This last Emmy season which was four months – five months ago? GLOW, by the way. Thank you. Emmy and SAG award, yeah, it’s crazy, right? I got my television trophies – I guess you want to call them – in a cool little cabinet.”

On his championship wins: “And I don’t have every belt I’ve ever won. I think it would be, like, twenty of them, if not more in my life, so, probably not allow that in the house. I’ve got a few, the ones that actually mean a lot to me, I’ve kind of got a few of those. If you win fifteen Emmys – I’m sure Alicia Keys probably feels the same about a Grammy as I do about a wrestling belt now…Ya know, I’m good. I’m good if I never get to hold a belt again. I’m alright.”

On GLOW set for a summer return: “We did [just wrap up filming season three]. Everybody on set, they were off on Monday because the wrestling scenes are now done. I wrapped on Thursday. What’s cool when you wrap on set, especially sometimes when it’s just you individually, they’ll, at the end of the day, before everybody is done and they’re still there in studio inside the sound stage, but they’ll say, ‘Series wrap on Chavo Guerrero,’ [and they] will kind of give you hugs and give you compliments. It was really cool.”

On whether he’ll be featured on screen: “To be honest, what makes the cutting room floor, you just don’t know. Sometimes you’re in it and sometimes you’re not in it. ‘Yay, I got in tonight’s scene.’ And then you go and watch the film and all of a sudden, you were there for two seconds. So, to be honest, [me appearing in Season 3] is to be determined on what really happens.”

On his goals for the show: “We always want to top the season before. That’s with anything, you always try to top what you did before, and sometimes – like, let’s take the show Breaking Bad for instance. There were some episodes that were just, like, all these things are happening, people are getting killed and stuff, but there are some episodes where not a lot’s going on because of their storylines. Those were building to a crescendo of another episode, maybe two, three, or four away that was set up by the storyline. So, you can’t always have that big, huge pay-off every single episode, or whatever. This season is one of those seasons, you got your ups, your downs, and you got your crazy episodes when things happens, and crazy things where we’re story building/telling, so, kind of what’s to be expected.”

On the cast’s in-ring progress: “The first season, [the cast] was a little apprehensive, going, ‘Uh, I don’t know if we can do this.’ Then we taught them and showed them, and they’re like, ‘Okay, okay we can do it.’ And then the second season, they’re really raring to go. This season, a little bit, they were ready but they weren’t ready. They realized this hurts, ya know? Then all of a sudden, once we started getting into it, especially the training and stuff, what I saw this season is that everybody got so much better. All the girls got so much better as far as the fundamentals, like their rolls, and their bumps, and their moves, and their understanding of holds, like, it was cool to see…I really saw everybody coming to their own this season.”
