This day in Wrestling History

Guerrero Family
Today 23 years ago the Wrestling business was hit with the untimely lose of the patriarch of the Guerrero family Gory Guerrero. Gory better known as the father of Hector, Mando, Chavo SR, & probably most famous Eddie Guerrero, he is also the Grandfather of Chavo Guerrero.

With the fact that what I can write about Gory is quite limited I am going turn this into not only a post to remember Gory but also the next edition of Wrestling Families.

Gory is famously known for innovating the Gory Special, Camel Clutch, Gory Bomb, a reverse STO, and many other moves as well. Gory is very famous for not only the bloody matches he had in Mexico but also the popularity of El Santo & his team. Later in his life Gory when living in El Paso opened his home for aspiring wrestlers to come and train and he also trained his sons. As of 2005 the old ring was still at the family house in El Paso.

Gory is also known for his 4 sons like I mentioned earlier Eddie, Mando, Hector, & Chavo SR. Mando is kind of known by some as the innovator of the Moonsault that little move set him a part from his brothers. So did the gimmick that very few actually know was done by Hector and reason for that is he was in a full Chicken suit. Yes, the most famous chicken in WWE history was played by Hector Guerrero. Hector was the Gobbledy Gooker!!!!!! The chicken that debuted at Survivor Series 1990. Last but not least In my book the most famous Guerrero of all Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero and also the only Guerrero ever to win an American World Championship. Eddie was entertaining, extremely talented like all of his brothers, a good talker, great technician like all of his brothers, but what set Eddie apart was he had it. For that reason Eddie became WWE Champion at No Way Out 2004. Take a look below at some of the greatest moments for the Guerrero Family:
