Los Guerreros (English: The Warriors) is a Mexican-American family that has been involved with professional wrestling for three generations. The patriarch of the family, Gory Guerrero, made 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 Federation/Entertainment, World Championship Wrestling, Extreme Championship Wrestling, the National Wrestling Alliance, the American Wrestling Association, New Japan Pro Wrestling, All Japan Pro Wrestling, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (now Global Force Wrestling), and Lucha Underground. 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.
Gory Guerrero, 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 Herlinda Llanes, whose three brothers Enrique, Mario and Sergio Yañez were all professional wrestlers (Enrique’s son Javier was also a professional wrestler).
