The Gobbledy Gooker Speaks About His Short WWE Run

Hector Guerrero, got his start in the WWE back in 1990 as the Gobbledy Gooker character at the Survivor Series.  

Sports Illustrated posted a "Week In Wrestling" feature this week highlighting Hector Guerrero's character.

"The Gobbledy Gooker is called the biggest flop in professional wrestling history, but it wasn't meant for the adults. It was for the children. Vince wanted to do something noble, which I take my hat off to and respect. But the circumstances were not favorable. I couldn't see. The eyes were outside and they were bubbled out—it was almost like they drilled holes through golf balls.

"I had to get in the egg early before the show. There was a box under the egg, and I had a fan down there to keep me cool. I had a light, I had a monitor, and that's where I was. As soon as I came out, you heard the boos—the real bad ones, and a lot of them. Gene Okerlund went through our routine, and he worked really hard, even going in the ring with me. I was flawless and didn't miss a cue, but the stares and looks from the crowd made me feel like the biggest flop in the history of wrestling. That's just the way the people reacted. I was in a bad situation, and you don't blame the boss. You blame the performer."
