The LWO

 

Eddie Guerrero and the LWO

As stated in my post labeled “Factions,” the LWO is one of the numerous groups that comes out during the WWE matches. LWO stands for the Latino World Order, which is a play on the NWO (New World Order) started by Hulk Hogan and others in 1996. The LWO’s first run was short but memorable in WCW as it was started in 1998 and ended in 1999. The man who started it all was Eddie Guerrero.

Guerrero was probably one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, but he truly did not get the recognition he deserved until his death. When he started the LWO, almost every Mexican wrestler at the time was a part of it. Names included La Parka, Juventud Guerrera, Silver King, and El Dandy. The other star of the show was Rey Mysterio, who was forced to join when he lost a match against Guerrero with the stipulation that he had to join. While this group did not last long, their impact was grand.

The main reason the LWO disbanded was because of Eric Bischoff’s issues with Guerrero. This was why Guerrero left WCW and joined WWE. He did not restart the LWO there, but he and Mysterio were a great tag team and were best friends in real life. Guerrero died in 2005.

Reformed LWO

The new LWO was reformed with Mysterio as the leader in 2023. Honoring Guerrero, they use the same logo and everything with a lot of the Latinos of WWE involved. The reason this group began again was because of Mysterio’s son, Dominik’s joinment of the Judgement Day. The group was always harassing Rey, so the LWO was formed to help protect him. The LWO is still going as we reach the end of 2023, and we can only hope they continue to honor Guerrero’s legacy.

WWE: Then and Now

Vince McMahon Sr. (left) and Vince McMahon Jr. (right) World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has such a long history that includes many name changes, but no matter what, the fanbase has stuck by its side. Vince McMahon Jr. is the name most people associate with WWE as he has run the company for over 40 years. WWE was not the large company it is today, for McMahon Jr. shaped the corporation to fit his standards. In 1982, McMahon Jr. bought World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) from his father McMahon Sr. and changed the name to World Wrestling Federation (WWF)... that extra W just wasn’t doing it for him. After purchasing the company, McMahon went into different wrestling territories and bought wrestlers from them; thus, those territories eventually went bankrupt. Vince himself owned the New York territory of entertainment wrestling, but his advancements into other territories included famous faces, such as Stu Hart with Stampede Wrestling covering the Montana area and Memphis Wrestling ...

Pay-Per-Views

Wrestlemania 1 Pay-per-views (PPV) began after Vince McMahon Jr. bought many wrestling territories in the United States. The first ever PPV was Wrestlemania debuting in 1984. Wrestlemania was smaller a production than it is nowadays. In fact, next year in 2024, it will be the 40th Wrestlemania held in Philadelphia, PA. Looking at the commercials, it will be one of the biggest events yet! Every month there is a pay-per-view all with different gimmicks and titles, but there are four shows that have stayed the same yearly. Wrestlemania, Summer Slam, Survivor Series, and the Royal Rumble are continuous each year. Survivor Series came up first in 1987. It normally is always around Thanksgiving time. The show itself has evolved since it used to be just five against five with random teams; they tried to focus on good versus bad. Now, like every PPV, there are more matches that are important to the show. The other two were both introduced in 1988. Summer Slam’s best memory has to be “The Mega ...

Factions

(left to right) Jimmy Uso, Roman Reigns, Sami Zayn, Solo Sakoa, Jey Uso While I was going to do this post on The Bloodline, I realized how many factions were involved in WWE. Yes, The Bloodline has been a lot of WWE recently, but as my dad said… they are slowly losing traction and becoming less of the ‘main drama’ on the show. Factions are groups of wrestlers in their own ‘cliques,’ and there are many of these factions that can be recalled throughout the years. The Bloodline is run by Roman Reigns as the ‘Tribal Chief’ because of his Samoan background–the numerous ethnicities of WWE are what I want my next post to be about. Jey Uso joined Roman next as the ‘Right Hand Man’ with his twin brother Jimmy. Paul Heyman became Reign’s ‘special counsel’ or ‘wise man.’ Solo Sikoa, the Uso’s younger brother, joined the Bloodline later. Recently, Sami Zayn made it his goal to ruin the Bloodline. He joined as a fake member, gaining their trust before beginning to crumble the tribe from within. Now...
