"Guerrero" is the Spanish word for "warrior" as well as a surname. His name is meant to be translated literally as "The Last Warrior". | |||
Guerrero began his wrestling career in 1990, working for several years around his native Durango before getting noticed in the ill-fated [[Promo Azteca]] promotion with his training partner [[Hooligan|Super Punk]]. Soon, the duo changed thier names to Último Guerrero and Super Punk and became Último Rebelde, and the tag team began working with a football hooligan gimmick. A tag team "masks vs. hair" match was announced, but Guerrero jumped to [[Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre]] in late 1997, and kept his mask intact. In CMLL, he wrestled mostly on the undercard with a mask win over [[Mr. Águila]] in 1998, mostly because Águila had already wrestled in the [[World Wrestling Federation]] without the mask. | |||
In 1999, Guerrero, along with veteran [[Blue Panther]], won the [[Gran Alternativa]] tournament, an annual tag team tournament where young wrestlers are paired with accomplished veterans. Shortly afterwards, Guerrero won a [[cibernético]] to determine the number one contender for [[Great Sasuke]]'s [[NWA World Middleweight Championship]]. Guerrero was unsuccessful in capturing the title, but having a singles match in [[Arena México]] was a good showcase for Guerrero. Soon thereafter Guerrero began teaming with [[Rey Bucanero]] and the two were recruited by veteran [[Satánico]] to be part of a stable called [[Los Nuevos Infernales]], a recreating of a popular rudo team from the early 1990s - [[Los Infernales]]. Guerrero and Bucanero were pushed as a tag team, winning a tournament in July 2000 with a finals win over [[Lizmark]] and [[Lizmark, Jr.]] for a shot at the [[CMLL World Tag Team Championship]]. A month later, the team defeated [[Mr. Niebla]] and [[Villano IV]] for the titles. Guerrero then sparked a feud with [[Negro Casas]], winning a match over him on the last show of 2000. | |||
In 2001, Guerrero and Bucanero turned on Satánico by helping [[Tarzan Boy]] defeat him in a singles match. Tarzan soon joined Guerrero and Bucanero and the group called themselves [[Los Guerreros de Infernal]]. Injuries caused Guerrero to become the de facto leader of the group, and [[Máscara Mágica]] ended up filling in for Tarzan for much of the year. Along with regular allies like [[Fuerza Guerrera]] and [[Black Warrior]], Satánico recruited [[Averno]] and [[Mephisto]] to be part of his own Infernales group. The two groups feuded with each other over the name "Infernales." It was eventually settled in a seven man cage match where Mágica lost to Satánico and Guerrero's group could no longer use the name. They settled on [[Los Guerreros del Infierno]] and began to feud with Negro Casas and [[El Hijo del Santo]] over the tag titles. After a match with an inconclusive finish in September, Casas and Santo defeated Guerrero and Bucanero for their titles on November 2. | |||
In May 2002, Guerrero and Bucanero defeated Santo and Casas to regain the tag titles, and shortly after winning the titles found themselves in a feud with [[Damián666|Damián]] and [[Halloween]] of [[La Familia de Tijuana]] over the titles. Los Guerreros successfully defended their titles on July 5, and Guerrero and Bucanero spent the rest of the year fueding with [[Vampiro Canadiense]] and [[Shocker]] with another successful title defense against them on September 13. In December, Guerrero defeated Shocker for the [[CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship]], his first singles title and the most prestigious singles title in the promotion. | |||
The feud continued into 2003 with Shocker defeating Guerrero in a non-title singles match, but losing with the title on the line a week later. Guerrero and Bucanero also defended the tag team titles successfully against Vampiro and Lizmark, Jr. When [[L.A. Park]] came into CMLL in December 2003, he aligned himself with Shocker and they immediately began to feud with Guerrero and Bucanero. The two teams traded the CMLL Tag Team Championship in early 2004. [[Atlantis]] and Blue Panther defeated Guerrero and Bucanero for their tag titles on June 25 in Los Guerreros' first title defense after winning the titles back from Shocker and L.A. Park. On CMLL's 71st anniversary show on September 17, Guerrero successfully defended the Light Heavyweight Championship against L.A. Park. | |||
