Biography

Eduardo Gory Guerrero Llanes better known in the world of wrestling as Eddie Guerrero is regarded as one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time. He is member of the Guerrero-Llanes Dynasty being the youngest son of Gory Guerrero.

Early Life

Eddie Guerrero was born on October 9, 1967 in El Paso, Texas, even tough some sources say he was born in Ciudad Juarez where he began his early days as a professional wrestler. Before folling in the footsteps of his father and older brothers Chavo, Mando, and Hector, Eddie practiced collegiate wrestling.

Debut and Early Career

Eddie was trained by his father Gory, and his cousin Javier Llanes. Several sources say his debut was on 1987 at Auditorio Municipal de Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua in a tag team match with [[[El Matemático]] aganist Flama Roja and El Vikingo. However, his in ring career should be since at least 1986. Javier Llanes stated that Eddie debuted at Arena Internacional, in Colonia Chaveña in Ciudad Juárez where all Guerreros and Llanes debuted. His debut in Arena Mexico was on September 5, 1986. He went in a tag team match with Mogur against Ari Romero and Guerrero Negro. In early days he went as Gory Guerrero Jr.

His first rivalry was against Ari Romero, they went in a lucha de apuestas that ended in Guerrero's first victory. During late 1980s and early 1990s, Guerrero had hair wins against Negro Casas, Lobo Rubio, La Fiera, and Babe Face.

Benjamin Mora saw him and he decided promoting Guerrero in his magazine Lucha Libre.

La Nueva Pareja Atómica

In 1987 with Hijo del Santo comprised the short-lived Nueva Pareja Atómica as their fathers did. Box y Lucha proclaimed the new Pareja Atómica were Perro Aguayo and Villano III, however Lucha Libre promoted the heirs of the original Pareja Atómica, the lucha libre legends Santo & Gory Guerrero.

The First Máscara Mágica

The Guerrero brothers made tours in Mexico occasionally, during those days they could be seen in Arena Mexico. Chavo, Mando, and Eddie were seen in all the country when the television came in. The Guerreros kept appearing until EMLL for some reason decided to mask them along with several others. Hector Guerrero was repackaged as Lassertron, Mando was El Psicopata, and Eddie became Máscara Mágica on July 21, 1992. He was introduced by the lucha libre magazines as a Mexican-American wrestler with a background sports in Olympic wrestling. Eddie felt uncomfortable with the gimmick and in November of that year, he signed in with AAA unmasking voluntarily in his debut[6]
