In 1978 Hector met Lonnie Mayne, aka Moondog Mayne. He and Hector became friends and although they were supposed to be wrestling against each other they sometime traveled the towns together. Hector remembered a funny story that he and Moondog took the same cab to the arena one time in Fresno, CA and because they were suppose to be discreet due to they were wrestling each other that night Hector placed a towel over his head so not to be recognized. When getting into the cab this alarmed the driver and he became nervous and suspicious so Moondog told the driver that Hector was a masked wrestler the driver asked “What’s his name” and Moondog replied “ Mil Mascaras” .
The drive then asked Moondog “who are you’? He answered “I’m Bear Cat Right” now the funny thing is Bear Cat is an African American and Moondog had Blonde hair and Blue eyes. Hector wrestled Moondog the night he was in his fatal car accident that was a very sad for Hector losing his friend.
In 1979 Hector met Andrea the Giant while wrestling in Oregon he and Hector traveled the towns together due to Hector had a Lincoln Continental and was the only wrestler that had a car big enough to hold him. Hector and Andrea became good friends and Hector remembers a funny story about Andrea. Once night while traveling from Portland, OR to Pendleton OR about a 4 ½ hour drive. Hector was pulled over by a Police officer for speeding and while Hector was trying to talk his way out of a ticket Andrea stepped out of the other side of the car and went around to where the officer was. Well the officer looked up from writing his ticket and looked up, up and up at Andrea and was flabbergasted at the size of Andrea. Andrea asked the policeman “You going to give him a ticket”? Shaking the policeman answered “Yes” so Andrea took the ticket and told Hector that he had friends and would have it taken care of. Hector has so many fond memories of Andrea way to many to write about so we try to pick the best one. Andrea was a very large individual and due to his size drew a lot of unwanted attention to himself. Hector remembered one time in a restaurant a waiter asked Andrea “How’s the weather up there” and Andrea was not amused in fact he was offended so much so that he demanded another waiter which was granted. What we need to remember is that no matter how large or small a person is they have feeling and we should RESPECT all.
In 1984 Hector came back to Florida where he met Kendall Windham who was just starting into the business. He also became good friends with Wahoo McDaniel who once took Hector to Sebring, FL to the Reservation for some hunting. Now Hector does not hunt doesn’t even know how to fire a gun, but went along with his friend. They all went out on trucks and Hector had a bad knee so was having trouble getting in and out of the back of the truck.
They heard something loud coming through the bushes and the guys joked that it was Old Satan a really mean Wild Hog so Hector jumped back into the back of the truck and Wahoo handed him a gun and said if you see him charging shoot him. Hector said “I don’t know how to shoot a gun” Wahoo said just point and pull the trigger but fortunely he didn’t have to do that. Hector remembers seeing Wahoo wrestle a wild hog into a cage with his bare hands. Wow!
Road Story by Penny Guerrero
In June of 2006 Hector was to wrestle at the Indian Reservation in Immokalee, FL. His mom was down visiting at the time and her, myself and Hector left early for the drive down. We exited in Ft. Myers, FL and the road was narrow and only a two lane road with ditches on both sides.
We arrived and Hector wrestled Mike Graham that evening and has we went to get in the car Hector had parked under a street light and there were bugs swarming all around the car and light. What I mean is our car was white and there were so many bugs it looked black. We made a run for it and jumped in the car as fast as we could so they wouldn't get in the car. On the way out back on the two lane road it was pitch dark no lights in sight except for our head lights, we hadn't see another car in a while. Bugs were flying at the car and hitting the windshield I had never seen so many bugs in my life it was like being in the Twilight Zone. You didn't dare turn on the wipers it would of smeared then you really couldn't of seen anything.
All of a sudden this enormous Alligator was in the road trying to cross and at that time another car was coming in the opposite direction and the gator became confused with the other car lights so he whirled around to run back off the road on our side and by the time we saw him he was almost off the road. We did hit his tail but thank God we did not hit that thing right on. God protected us and the Gator that night... I don't think even AAA would come out there at night. We finally arrived back in Ft Myers where Hector was able to clean the windshield... Never saw so many bugs in my life!
