From there I had to go back to the room and then Vince McMahon, Triple H & Shawn Michaels came over. Vince is asking what to do? Do we go on with the show? I was like absolutely go on with the show, you don’t cancel the show.
I was like yeah you go on with the show, that’s what Eddie would have wanted to do. He wouldn’t want that everybody here and Eddie knew… we’re always taught that you always have to give the people their money’s worth no matter what. They’re there to see you.
In this economy they don’t have a lot of money and they’re choosing to spend it on you – it’s your obligation to give them their money’s worth. It really, really is.
So I looked at Vince and said “if you would cancel the show then he’d be pi$$ed, that’s not what he wanted”.
So they went ahead and made a tribute show, I mean completely rewritten.
Jericho: Did you have to go to Europe?
Chavo: So we did that show and they said “Chavo, you can go home” and I said “no, I wanna wrestle”. I was able to wrestle JBL.
Jericho: Another great friend of Eddie (JBL).
Chavo: Yeah, that was just a great moment, but that night who stayed behind from the tour was just me, Chris Benoit, Rey Mysterio and Dean Malenko. Let’s all stay behind and take care of some stuff.
