Gory Guerrero

The patriarch of the Guerrero clan, Gory is synonymous with Lucha Libre on both sides of the border. Learning at the tender age of 16, Guerrero started in EMLL ( the forerunner for Mexico’s biggest promotion) and quickly rose to a level of popularity where he was included in the El Santo films. Later striking out on his own, Guerrero made El Paso, Texas his personal fiefdom. His shows followed his ideal of the athleticism and blood. And those shows kept selling out week in and week out. Out of everyone here, Gory is the innovator. For all intents and purposes, he invented the camel clutch. McMahon has much love for the Guerrero’s so it’s puzzling that Gory has yet to be inducted.
