Eddy Guerrero wrestling debut

[Matt Farmer]

Figured I would post this here as I know there are some Lucha buffs here who may be able to help...

 

For years I have read and see it posted everywhere that Eddy Guerrero made his debut in September of 1987. In fact many have labelled the September 18, 1987 match at EMLL's 54th Anniversary where he teamed with El Hijo del Santo to beat El Dandy & El Hijo del Gladiador as his debut.

The date is correct but Eddy Guerrero did not debut on this event, nor was it Guerrero's debut as a professional wrestler take place on this card. He actually debuted in Ciudad Juarez Chihuahua Mexico wrestling on one of his fathers cards but I have not found the exact date of it yet. If I were to put an estimated date on his debut I would peg it at sometime in late 1985.

The date for his Arena Mexico debut is September 5, 1986. I will post the card below.

In Mexico, even with sons of famous wrestlers it is common for those to debut outside of Mexico City and gain some sort of experience before being exposed to a national out let.

This was a major card as for years they would really build up the angles leading into their anniversary cards. They often advertised multiple cards as "anniversary" events. And this year was no exception as this card looks as strong as the actual 53rd Anniversary card that was held on September 19, 1986.

The report on this card even mentioned that it was Guerrero's debut in the Cathedral.

September 5, 1986 Arena Mexico DF
Los Misioneros de la Muerte (El Signo & El Texano & Negro Navarro) beat Jerry Estrada & El Dandy & Talisman- Hair versus Hair Match
Perro Aguayo & Villano III & La Fiera beat Fishman & El Satanico & MS-1
Cien Caras & Mascara Ano 2000 & Pirata Morgan beat Alfonso Dantes & Rayo de Jalisco & Lizmark DQ
Kung Fu & Solar & Tony Salazar beat Gran Coshisse & Herodes & Hombre Bala
Eddy Guerrero & Mogur beat Ari Romero & Guerrero Negro

I also have results of Eddy popping up at Arena Coliseo during this time frame.

Ari Romero was Eddy's long time friend and early in his career the two were stuck at the hip. The two had even had a well known Hair verus Hair match where Eddy took Ari hair in Juarez.

If anyone has info on his exact date, post it here.
