Gory Guerrero


Salvador Guerrero Quesada , better known as Gory Guerrero, was one of the premier Hispanic professional wrestlers in the early days of Lucha Libre when most wrestlers were imported from outside of Mexico. He wrestled primarily in Empresa Mexicana de la Lucha Libre between the 1940s and 1960s. He was also the patriarch of the Guerrero wrestling family.

Guerrero was born in Ray, Arizona to a family of migrant workers. He attended school in the United States until the age of nine when his mother died. His family moved to Mexico, and Guerreros father used his English language skills to work as an interpreter in Guadalajara. Guerreros wife Herlinda was the sister of wrestler Enrique Llanes. They married in 1947. They had six children four sons Chavo, Mando, Hector, Eddie, and two daughters, Maria and Linda. After retiring from active wrestling, Guerrero sold auto insurance. Guerrero would also open his home to aspiring wrestlers, training them in the backyard in an old ring. Two weeks before his death, Guerreros liver failed and he developed cirrhosis due to hepatitis.
