10 Ridiculous Wrestling News Stories You Won't Believe
6. Juventud Guerrera Goes Bush Down Under
One of the best Cruiserweight stars in WCW history, Juventud Guerrera appeared to lose all his marbles once Eric Bischoff made the decision to remove his mask, after the man had lost a Mask vs. Title match opposite Chris Jericho at Superbrawl 1998. During the span of the next two years, Guerrera started referring to himself as 'The Juice', talking about himself in third person, and apparently trying to be WCW's answer to The Rock. As if that wasn't enough, the guy also freaked out during a WCW tour of Australia in October, 2000, reportedly running around a hotel the wrestlers were staying at completely naked. Drugs have been cited as the reason Guerrera was freaking out, but it's still baffling that a story about a famous Mexican pro wrestler evading police whilst out his face, before being shot out of a tree with tranquilizer darts, made the mainstream news in Australia. Actually, that's not strange at all, but Juventud must regret the incident, one which cost him almost $2,000 in fines.
