Chavo Guerrero returns to talk about his new Hollywood run as the go-to wrestling coordinator and stunt consultant, working with Nick Offerman, Nicole Kidman, and Chris Jericho on Margo’s Got Money Troubles, breaking down what really happens behind the scenes of wrestling scenes on set, and why actors like Zac Efron in The Iron Claw aren’t trained to wrestle, but to look like wrestlers! He shares stories about coordinating fights for Steven Spielberg’s mysterious Disclosure project, and working directly with Spielberg. He explains the difference between filming a fight scene and surviving multiple takes of a full wrestling match. He talks Grimm and GLOW, reveals what it takes to train A-list actors safely, why wrestling is really about performance and connection, not moves, and how that changed his entire perspective on the business.
