The various members of the iconic Guerrero family have worked together so many times over the decades, but a highlight of the career of Chavo Guerrero Jr. was seeing his father Chavo Sr. - or Chavo 'Classic' - join him for a run in WWE in 2004.

Chavo Sr. was the oldest brother of Eddie Guerrero, and Chavo's arrival in WWE was as part of his son's rivalry with Latino Heat. Things would soon be changed up, though, and Chavo Classic would 'accidentally' pin his son to dethrone Spike Dudley to become the new Cruiserweight Champion in a triple threat contest.

Surprisingly, Chavo Sr. would actually hold the title for a month before dropping the belt to Rey Mysterio - and that period made for some brilliantly entertaining TV, as the dynamic between Chavo Sr. and Chavo Jr. became a highlight of an oft-stacked SmackDown product.

Skipping ahead to 2016, and Chavo Guerrero Sr. would arrive in Lucha Underground to assist his son in a Loser Leaves Lucha contest against the aforementioned Mysterio. Unfortunately for the Guerreros, it would be Rey who would be victorious on that particular night - banishing Chavo Jr. from the promotion.
