in the United States of America
when he was young. Guerrero attended the University of Texas at El Paso
, graduating with a bachelor's degree
in physical education
. Guerrero trained as a wrestler under his father, Gory
, and debuted in 1973 using the shortened name "Héctor Guerrero". Early in his career, he wrestled primarily in California
, often teaming
with his brothers Chavo Guerrero, Sr. and Mando
.
In the mid-1980s, Guerrero wrestled for NWA
: Jim Crockett Promotions
as the masked
Lazer-Tron. Guerrero teamed with Jimmy Valiant
and feuded
with the New Breed
. Guerrero went on to feud with Denny Brown for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship

at the Survivor Series
, performing under the name Gobbledy Gooker and wearing a turkey
costume. The Gobbledy Gooker "hatched" from an oversized egg, which had been on display at WWF events for months prior to the Survivor Series, and was heavily hyped on television. However, crowd reaction to the gimmick was extremely negative, with fans loudly booing as the costumed Guerrero danced in the ring with announcer "Mean" Gene Okerlund
. Play-by-play broadcast announcers Gorilla Monsoon
and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper
tried their best to be enthusiastic.
The character was abandoned immediately following the Survivor Series, leaving it a mystery if the character was intended for more than a one-off comedy bit, or if it was intended as an ongoing gimmick that was discarded due to the overwhelming negative response. A few years later, WrestleCrap
would use the name for its "Gooker Award", presented for the worst gimmicks, storylines, or events in wrestling.
After the character was shelved the WWF didn't mention it again for more than 10 years. In the early 2000s, it became fashionable in the WWF to mock mistakes made in the past. The Gobbledy Gooker was revived for WrestleMania X-Seven
to participate in the "Gimmick Battle Royal", an otherwise normal battle royal
that was populated entirely by older, mostly retired wrestlers with outlandish gimmicks as well as oddball one-offs like the Gooker. Though the costume was very different from the original, Héctor Guerrero did again wear the costume, being the second person eliminated in the match. Repo Man
was the first eliminated. The Iron Sheik would ultimately win, with Sgt. Slaughter
then attacking him afterwards and locking him in the cobra clutch.
When "Mean" Gene Okerlund was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
in 2006, he recalled some of his famous interviews and he acknowledged the fact that it was Héctor Guerrero in the costume, saying that "Héctor, we had a lot of fun, but all of this is forgotten."
