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:

WWE Fast Lane 2015: PPV Predictions

WWE Fast Lane: WWE Tag Team Title Match: (c) The Uso's vs Cesaro & Tyson Kidd As the Tag division gets smaller and smaller in my book the expectations of this match should be getting higher, because the smaller the division the more weight it puts on the shoulders of the teams in the division. I do firmly believe if they give this match the time it could be a good match, as these teams I feel have good chemistry in the ring with each other. I think Cesaro and Kidd walk away with the titles after Nattie turns heel helping Tyson & Cesaro win. Divas Title Match: (c) Nikki Bella w/ Brie vs Paige Though this has been like much of the diva feuds of the past with the fact that this feud has gotten a lot of TV time leading into this match. However, I still fear that WWE isn't ready to give the divas a good amount of time for their matches just yet. I have a funny feeling Nikki will win with help from Brie and this may set up a tag team divas match fo...

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...
