Ultimo Guerrero

The Warrior from Gomez Palacio

In the dusty arenas of Mexico's Consejo Mundial De Lucha Libre (CMLL), a warrior emerged, bearing the weight of his ancestors and the fire in his belly. Ultimo Guerrero, the proud son of Durango, was born to wrestle.

On March 1, 1972, José Gutierrez Hernández entered this mortal coil, destined to leave an indelible mark on the world of lucha libre. As a technician, he mastered the art of grappling, honing his skills in the rugged streets of Gomez Palacio. His early ring names – El Flanagan and Condor Dorado – whispered hints of the greatness that lay ahead.

The Guerrero Legacy

Ultimo's lineage was steeped in tradition and honor. His nickname, "El Luchador de Otro Nivel," translated to "The Wrestler of Another Level," foreshadowed his ascension among Mexico's wrestling elite. The weight of his family name – Guerrero – bore the responsibility of upholding a proud heritage.

As he evolved into El Ultimo de su Estirpe, or "The Last of His Lineage," Ultimo Guerrero's ring persona became an extension of his own DNA. A fusion of technique and tenacity, he wove a tapestry of moves that would leave opponents grasping at thin air.

The Guerrero Special

Ultimo's arsenal included the Guerrero Special, a patented submission hold that left foes writhing in agony. The Guerrero Submission Special was another devastating tool in his arsenal. His Pulpo Guerrero (Octopus) and Veneno Guerrero (Poison) moves were as unpredictable as they were merciless.

The Senton de la Muerte (Sudden Death Leap), a testament to his aerial prowess, left the crowd gasping in awe. This was Ultimo Guerrero's calling card – a symphony of body slams, arm drags, and suplexes that left opponents reeling.

He held multiple championships, including the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship, NWA World Historic Middleweight Championship, CMLL World Light Heavyweight Championship, WWA World Tag Team Championship, and Azteca Championship.

On April 13, 1996, Ultimo Guerrero stepped into the ring for the first time. Little did anyone know that this was just the beginning of a storied career that would leave an indelible mark on the world of lucha libre.

Ultimo Guerrero's legend grew with each passing year. His name became synonymous with excellence, respect, and honor. As he stood tall in the ring, his chest adorned with the colors of Mexico – red, green, and white – the crowd roared in anticipation of what was to come next.
