Los Guerreros
Encyclopedia
Los Guerreros is a Mexican American
family that has been involved with professional wrestling
for three generations with the patriarch of the family Gory Guerrero
making his debut on September 15, 1937. Members of the Guerrero family have worked for virtually all major wrestling promotions around the world including World Wrestling Entertainment
, World Championship Wrestling
, Extreme Championship Wrestling
, the National Wrestling Alliance
, New Japan Pro Wrestling
, All Japan Pro Wrestling
and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
. The name “Los Guerreros” is also often used when two or more of the Guerreros team up in a given promotion. The most recent incarnation of the Los Guerreros team was in World Wrestling Entertainment
on the SmackDown brand. This team was made up of Eddie Guerrero
, his nephew Chavo Guerrero
and after Chavo was injured, Yoshihiro Tajiri
.
, the patriarch of the Guerrero wrestling family, was one of the early pioneers in Mexican lucha libre
and has been credited with the invention of the Camel Clutch. Gory married Herlina Llanes who’s three brothers Enrique
, Mario and Sergio Yañez were all professional wrestlers (Enrique’s son Javier was also a professional wrestler).
Together Gory and Herlina had 6 children, two girls and four boys – the boys would all end up in professional wrestling.
, a legendary luchadore
had four sons and all of them became wrestlers. His two elder sons Chavo and Mando
debuted in the same year, 1974. Chavo wrestled the earlier part of his career in Los Angeles, California
based World Wrestling Association
(WWA) where he won Heavyweight and Tag Team titles many times. In 1976, Chavo formed a tag team
with his father Gory and the duo wrestled in WWA. They were the first members of the Guerrero family to make a tag team. On February 27, Chavo and Gory defeated Karl Von Brauner and Senior X to win the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship
. However, their reign was cut short as on the next day, they lost the titles to Roddy Piper
and Crusher Verdu. Gory fell into semi-retirement, ending the tag team of father and son. Chavo began teaming with other wrestlers in WWA roster and exchanged titles with Piper and Verdu while Gory retired in the 1980s.
Chavo formed a new tag team with his brother Hector
on January 13, 1978 when they defeated Black Gordman and Goliath to win the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship
. This was the second tag team made up of Guerrero family members. This tag team version was better than Chavo's tag team with his father Gory. The two brothers, Chavo and Hector managed to hold the titles for a half month before losing them to Ron Bass
and Dr. Hiro Ota on February 5. The two brothers teamed with separate wrestlers and exchanged the titles with Ron Bass and his partners before their team ended. Chavo continued his success in WWA. Hector formed a tag team with his elder brother Mando
which debuted on June 29, 1979 when they defeated The Twin Devils for the NWA Americas Tag Team Championship
. It was Hector's fourth individual reign and Mando's third individual reign while their first together. They lost the titles back to Twin Devils on July 6 before regaining the titles later that same month. On August 4, Hector and Mando lost the titles to Leroy Brown and Allen Coage
. They won the titles with separate partners before defeating Ryuma Go and Mr. Toyo in their reunion on July 9, 1982 for their third Americas Tag Titles. The next month, they lost the titles to Timothy Flowers and Adrian Street
.
They had a third and final reunion in the independent circuit
where they won the UWC Tag Team Championship.
. They held the titles for three months before Chavo quit in September. On October 2, Cocoa Samoa substituted Chavo and teamed with Hector to defend the titles against Jim Neidhart
and Khrusher Khruschev
. This caused Chavo and Hector to lose the titles to Neidhart and Khruschev and the team of Chavo and Hector disbanded.
In AWA
, Chavo and Mando teamed together to go after the AWA World Tag Team Championship
held by Diamond Dallas Page
's team of Badd Company
(Paul Diamond
and Pat Tanaka
) but never could win the tag team titles. At SuperClash III, reprensenting the AWA against the Continental Wrestling Association
on December 13, 1988, Hector, Chavo, and Mando defeat the team of Cactus Jack
and the Rock 'n' Roll RPMs
.
Chavo then formed a six-man tag team with his brothers Mando and Eddie
in 1989 in the Mexica
n World Wrestling Association
(WWA). They won the WWA World Trios Championship on April 30, defeating American Mercenaries (Bill Anderson, Louie Spicolli
and Tim Patterson) before losing the titles back to American Mercenaries on July 28. Hector and Eddie formed a tag team in May 1998 in Carolina
s based-Pro Wrestling Federation (PWF). On May 22, 1998, they defeated Super Ninja and Black Angel for the titles.
(WCW), Chavo and Eddie were not really a tag team as they were later on in WWE. Chavo had only a year of experience in contrast to Eddie's eight or nine years. As part of their angle, Eddie would continually try to make Chavo adopt Eddie's cheating tactics, but Chavo often refused to do so.
On the March 9, 1998 edition of Nitro, Chavo lost to Booker T
in a match. After the match, Eddie suplex
ed Chavo to teach him a lesson. On the March 12 edition of WCW Thunder
, he defeated his nephew Chavo in a match and forced him to become his "slave". At Uncensored, Chavo was forced to support Eddie when he faced Booker T for Booker's WCW World Television Championship
. Eddie lost the match after receiving a missile dropkick. Eddie and Chavo then feuded with Último Dragón. Chavo lost to Dragón at Spring Stampede. At Slamboree, Eddie defeated Dragón despite interference from Chavo. After the match, Chavo kissed Eddie and began to display insane behavior. Eddie would leave Chavo during a match, and that would lead them to feud with each other. At The Great American Bash, Chavo got an upset victory over Eddie. They faced each other in a Hair vs. Hair match at Bash at the Beach which Eddie won. Continuing to show his crazy behavior Chavo would shave his own head while Eddie looked on in disbelief. Eddie saved Chavo from beatings by Stevie Ray
, seeming that he would align with Chavo but he wanted his release. Chavo's treatment at the hands of Eddie drove him "crazy" and he adopted the gimmick of a psycho fixated with a hobby horse
he dubbed "Pepé." This led to a feud
with Norman Smiley
in which Pepé was thrown into a woodchipper
by Smiley. Another result of his insanity, was his inability to join Eddie's Latino World Order
stable, which was a take-off of the nWo
. The stable included nearly every Latino wrestler in WCW except Chavo.
and Chavo Guerrero
when they were a tag team
in World Wrestling Entertainment
(WWE). This Los Guerreros formed sometime during 2002 following Eddie Guerrero's jump to the SmackDown brand. Eddie had been Chris Benoit
's tag partner on Raw, but Benoit turned face
and moved into a feud with Kurt Angle
while they were a tag team on the side. Eddie and Chavo ended up teaming up as a heel
tag team when a tournament was announced to crown the first-ever Tag Team Champions, then a new belt just being introduced. Los Guerreros defeated Mark Henry
and Rikishi
to make it to the semi-finals where they lost to Angle and Benoit.
The tournament ended with Benoit and Angle beating Edge
and Rey Mysterio becoming the first-ever Tag Team Champions. Edge and Mysterio won the titles afterwards. At Survivor Series 2002
, Los Guerreros defeated Benoit and Angle and Edge and Mysterio in a 3-Way Tag Team Elimination match to win their first WWE Tag Team Championship
. After facing makeshift teams consisting of Edge, Mysterio, and Benoit for a few months, they turned babyfaces
to feud
with John Cena
and B-2
, and Team Angle
(Shelton Benjamin
and Charlie Haas
). They would lose the tag titles to Team Angle on the February 6, 2003 edition of SmackDown!.
Eddie later teamed up with Tajiri
to win back the belts due to an injury to Chavo. Team Angle, by now known as The World's Greatest Tag Team
, won back the belts but Chavo returned a few months later. On September 18 edition of SmackDown!, they defeated World's Greatest Tag Team for their second WWE Tag Team Championship. They would lose the belts to the Basham Brothers
about a month later, leading to a storyline
spanning several months in which Chavo eventually turned on Eddie, breaking up the team. Eddie then ascended to the main event by becoming a WWE Champion
. Eddie and Chavo were last seen at together at Judgment Day 2005
when Chavo tried to interfere in the match between Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero.
This Los Guerreros became extremely over with the crowd using the gimmick and motto "We lie. We cheat. We steal."
One of their most popular in-ring tactics was to toss an illegal weapon (Chair, belt etc) to their opponent when the referee's back was turned and then drop to the canvas as if they had been struck with it. When the referee would finally turn around, the opponent would be caught seemingly red-handed.
Following the breakup of this team, both would retain the gimmick. While Chavo became more of a classical heel
, Eddie's utilization was generally used during his face
status.
Following Chavo's loss to Eddie at the Royal Rumble, Chavo was jealous of Rey Mysterio in the storyline because Mysterio had sung the theme song of the upcoming Pay Per View event, No Way Out
, and because Mysterio was Cruiserweight Champion. Guerrero would win the Cruiserweight Title at No Way Out. A few months later on Smackdown, Chavo Guerrero challenged anybody to a match for the Cruiserweight Title. Jacqueline
accepted the challenge and won the Cruiserweight Title. At Judgment Day
, Chavo regained the Cruiserweight Title with one arm tied behind his back, however Chavo Classic would win the Cruiserweight Title by accident on that week's Smackdown in a triple threat match when Spike Dudley
knocked him onto Chavo. Chavo Classic would go on to hold the belt for about a month before he lost it to Rey Mysterio. Chavo Classic would later be fired by WWE for no-showing. He felt he should have been portrayed as a legend rather than a comedy act.
and the widow of Eddie Guerrero
, Vickie Guerrero
(they are not referred to, however, as Los Guerreros). Vickie acted as the manager/valet for Chavo, who was upset about Eddie's name being used by non-Guerreros (namely Rey Mysterio, with whom they maintained their first feud with). The duo used the cheating tactics that made the Guerreros famous, though this time to the dismay of the audience instead of the delight. It wasn't long after the end of their feud with Rey that Chris Benoit
(another close friend of Eddie) started questioning their motives, leading to them feuding with the Rabid Wolverine over the course of a few short months, with Chavo becoming the number one contender for Benoit's WWE United States Championship
, though failing at each opportunity mainly because of Vickie's actions constantly getting him disqualified, leading to Vickie leaving Chavo (she soon after declared in late January in backstage interviews with Kristal Marshall
that she would be returning to SmackDown soon, though disappeared off of WWE TV directly after). It wasn't until mid-February at No Way Out 2007
that Chavo became WWE Cruiserweight Champion
after emerging victorious in a Cruiserweight Open, which saw him as a surprise entry, pinning Jimmy Wang Yang
to eliminate him last and win the title from Gregory Helms
, ending Helms' more than a year-long reign.
In 2008, Chavo and Vickie would form an "extended family" with Vickie's lover
Edge, after interference by Edge allowed Chavo to win the ECW Championship. The stable was referred to on-screen as "La Familia
," and also included the Rated R Entourage, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder
, and Chavo's then-bodyguard, Bam Neely
.
La Familia broke up later in the year, after Vickie and Edge's relationship troubles led to the return of The Undertaker. Vickie and Chavo would then align with The Big Show to keep The Undertaker off of their backs. Later, Chavo and Vickie would also realign with the returning Edge.
In 2009, Vickie took advantage of Randy Orton's attacks on the McMahon family to take control of both RAW and SmackDown. Vickie would later leave SmackDown to become the permanent General Manager of RAW, leaving Edge on Smackdown although their marriage
remains intact. Chavo would be subsequently drafted to RAW, continuing his role as his aunt Vickie's "gopher," although constantly overriding her authority by booking matches.
In 2010, Vickie became the "Official Consultant" to the current General Manager of SmackDown, Theodore Long. Chavo then began supporting Vickie and her new storyline lover, Dolph Ziggler. In 2011, Chavo was released from WWE, ending Los Guerreros.
. She made her debut in December 2010 in an appearance ringside for FCW Divas Championship match. She made her in-ring debut at FCW on February 11, 2011 in Gainesville, Florida under the ring name "Raquel Diaz". She began managing Alexander Rusev, then recently join Ricardo Rodriguez
's faction known as "The Acension" along with Conor O'Brian, Kenneth Cameron & Tito Colon.
