Fuerza Guerrera is a Mexican Luchador enmascarado (or masked professional wrestler) who made his debut in 1978. In his career Guerrera has worked for every major wrestling organization in Mexico including Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (AAA), Universal Wrestling Association (UWA), World Wrestling Association (WWA) and International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG). Throughout his career Fuerza Guerrera has held many titles for CMLL, AAA and IWRG. Fuerza Guerrera's real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. Only his paternal surname is known, as his son Eduardo Aníbal González Hernández' name is a matter of public record making Fuerza Guerrera's paternal surname "González" as well. Eduardo González is better known as luchador Juventud Guerrera. Fuerza Guerrera is Spanish for "Warrior Strength", not to be mistaken for the surname Guerrero.
The wrestler who would become known as Fuerza Guerra trained for his professional wrestling career under Dick Angelo, he would later receive further training from Gallo Tapado, Raul Reyes, El Solar, El Espectro and Ángel Blanco. He made his professional wrestling debut in 1977 under the ring name Cachorro González (Spanish for "Cub González"). in his debut match he faced, and lost to, Rokambole (later Villano V) and Leopardo Negro (Villano IV) in San Pedro, Puebla. After wrestling as Chachorro González for over a year González wanted to adopt an enmascarado character by the name of "Star Wars", but the local promoter, Señor Barradas, did not want wrestlers with English names. Instead he adopted the name "Fuerza Guerrera", a name he came up with inspired by the Aztec warriors of Latin America. Fuerza Guerrera also adopted a black mask with red and blue markings – red representing passion and blue representing peace, a mask that quickly became his trademark. He made his in ring debut as Fuerza Guerrera on December 19, 1979 in Arena Naucalpan. Since his debut Guerrera has almost always worked as a Rudo, a "bad guy" or "Heel" character, a choice he took early on as it fit with both his personality and his wrestling style.
