Juventud Guerrera ("Youth Warrior" in Spanish) is the son of Mexican legend Fuerza Guerrera (Power Warrior). Born Eduardo Aníbal González Hernández Juventud is a Mexican professional wrestler who has worked for World Championship Wrestling, Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Asistencia Asesoria y Administracion, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, Extreme Championship Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling NOAH, and is currently performing for World Wrestling Entertainment on the Smackdown! brand, in its cruiserweight division as a member of The Mexicools with Super Crazy and Psicosis.

Career

Juventud Guerrera wrestled in many Mexician independent promotions as a masked wrestler but he made his name in World Championship Wrestling. Juvi (as he was sometimes known) lost his mask in a match against Chris Jericho in WCW, and later became an announcer on WCW Thunder, after he suffered an injury. Juvi often imitated The Rock by calling himself The Juice and saying The Rock's catch phrases. Juvi was released from WCW after an "incident" in Australia where Juvi embarassed the company by making a scene publicly while under the influence of what was believed to be PCP. The night before he smoked an unknown substance given to him by an unknown party at a nightclub. The next morning he ran into the hotel lobby and began attacking everyone in sight, including other wrestlers. It was his second offense as he had a previous DUI against him.

Guerrera went on to wrestle for many other promotions including Xtreme Pro Wrestling, WWA, AAA, and Frontier Wrestling Alliance until he joined Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

In TNA Juvi was joined by fellow AAA wrestlers: Mr. Águila, Héctor Garza, Abismo Negro, Heavy Metal to form a group first know as Team AAA, then later as Team Mexico to compete in TNA's World X-Cup Matches.

When TNA's working relationship with AAA came to an end the group dispanded, and Juvi was released to continue working for Lucha Libre promotions.

Juventud Guerrera has recently signed a contract with WWE. He debuted on television, wrestling simply as Juventud (no Guerrera, possibly to avoid confusion with Eddie and Chavo Guerrero) on June 18, 2005, defeating Funaki on SmackDown!'s sister show Velocity. On June 23 he, Super Crazy and Psicosis (The Mexicools) interrupted a match between Chavo Guerrero and Paul London by riding to the ring on a lawn mower and attacking both wrestlers.

This was followed week by week of The Mexicools interrupting matches and beating down seemingly random wrestlers and cutting promos, Juventud quickly established himself as the mouthpiece/leader of the group a began using his old gimmick name of "The Juice".

At the 2005 Great American Bash on July 24, the Mexicools defeated the bWo, a team led by Stevie Richards, in a six-man tag team match.
