Juventud Guerrera

[9.0] "I always say when you talk about Rey Mysterio Jr in WCW you have to mention Juventud Guererra. Everywhere Rey was, so was Juvi, who had some of the best work of his time in WCW if not his whole aceer against Rey. Might sound like the praise is on Rey buy Juvi easily kept up with him and was on his level. This made him one of the best cruiserweights in WCW, Juventud deserves his credit, not to mention his slick 450 splash."

[8.0] "A really solid luchadore who's ego and backstage antics caused him get fired from WWE. He had a good run in ECW and WCW as a mainstay in WCW's cruiserweight division."

[7.0] "Juvie man, any time he was on the card it was going to be a solid bout. I only really know him from ECW and WCW, so I was surprised to see how long he's been active. 15 matches in November 2024 is pretty impressive for a 50-year-old."

[8.0] "One of the better cruiserweights from WCW. Excellent in ring athleticism. That 450 splash was a thing of beauty."

"Deserves recognition for incredible work in AAA, ECW, WCW, & NOAH. With Misterio and Psicosis he helped put Lucha on the map in the U.S. with amazing high flying and a good arsenal of suplexes plus the Juvi driver. I think he was the first luchadore to lose his mask in a major US promotion to boot."

[8.0] "Juventud Guerrera was a great high flyer for WCW. He had good technical abilities in the ring and charisma to pair with great athleticism. His WWE run was bad but that was mostly on time and gimmick. His longevity in the business is impressive."

[6.0] "Another guy who had a lot of talent, but bought into his own publicity and pissed off too many people in the locker room. He came to the WWE for a cup of coffee but if you went to take a leak, you missed his career there because as I understand it, a couple of people wanted to kick his face in for being a primadonna amongst the established WWE guys."

[6.0] "Spectacular in his early days, there was only really a few guys who could do what he did and it resulted in some pretty groundbreaking matches. I don't know if it was injuries or personal issues but he was well over the hill by the time he rocked up in WWE."

[10.0] "Juvi has always been my favorite flier. All his matches are spectacular. Great in ring ability and nonstop energy. Juvi is the GOAT."

[7.0] "Another inmate ended their write up with "His best work was short-lived and he regressed quickly"; I feel this encapsulates him rather well, well enough that I began my own write up quoting it! Dazzling as he could be; he was a mess, it showed in his work and by 2000 his career had all but tanked. He wasn't smart enough to capitalize on his good looks after being unmasked - there was "sympathy heat" written all over him and he squandered it. Was athletically gifted n all, but almost never ever displayed any psychology, understanding of pacing or ability to elevate those around him. A precursor to "a bunch of good looking stuff that means nothing". So much potential, flushed by his own hands... 6.5 rounded up when he coulda been a 9 or 10."

[8.0] "In his prime, Juventud was so good. Those feuds in those WCW cruiserweight days were amazing, and he was right in the thick of things. While he was later overshadowed by some illustrious alumni from that promotion, I think Juventud was an integral part of that promotion at that time and put on some stellar matches."

[9.0] "Juventud was really one of the best cruiserweights ever, he was very very talented in the ring. Had tons of charisma and arrogance which made him a natural born heel. Sometimes botched a move or two and cut cringy/entertaining promos but overall he was truly one of the most gifted athletes in the history of wrestling."

[10.0] "This guy was so freaking awesome in the 90s, in WCW he was up at Rey Mysterio levels. Incredible talent and charismatic too in a slightly weird way."

[8.0] "Guerrera was one of the best luchadors in the world at his prime. His rivalry with Misterio was an incredible showcase of the amazing rudo/tecnico dynamic and dazzling in-ring work. He still wrestles today but unlike some of his foes such as Mysterio wasn't able to possess the longevity they had. His best work was short-lived and he regressed quickly."

[9.0] "His up there with some of the best cruiserweights i have ever seen, thought he could of done great things in wwe but unfortunately it just seemed to not work out due to wwe. Outside of wwe he has been one of the greatest cruiserweights ever."

[8.0] "Juventud Guerrera was an incredible talent in his prime, one who, like the rest of his fellow Mexicans, never got a push in WCW that was commensurate to his talent. But Juvi doesn't warrant a higher rating because of his notoriously selfish attitude."

[9.0] "Juvi the juice is an amazing luchador who can still go, and is great masked or unmasked, in a tag teams or singles."

[9.0] "everyone gets old... but at his peak juvunted was extremely exciting to watch. one of only a handful of lucha libre guys that could adapt to usa wrestling in wcw and wwe. his party lifestyle outside of the ring is fairly legendary and ultimately made him unusable for the corporate promotions which was sad to me because his matches were must watch in my opinion"

[7.0] "Well, Juvi use to be one of the best, when he was young, now is kind of old and slow, of course, the injuries and the ages and all the extreme and hardcore matches but well, he still been a good wrestler, i would like see him fight more regular in AAA couse he found the Anarquía and was the leader and now is out of AAA?"

[8.0] "Guerrera on a good day, and against the right opponent, is capable of stealing the show, and in both the 1990s and early 2000s was 1 of the most exciting Lucha Libre wrestlers in the world. What he lacks is humility and character, as his real life ego is capable of white-washing his portfolio."
