Snitsky's back acne Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hector Solano, 43, better known as Hector Garza, is battling what is said to be a very serious case of lung cancer. Garza, who has worked for WWF, WCW and TNA over the past 15 years, has been a main eventer almost since his pro debut in 1992 as a second generation star out of Monterrey. Over that period he headlined major shows for both CMLL and AAA, generally being one of top stars for either promotion.  He will be getting chemotherapy treatment at the present time and will be unable to wrestle for the time being.  We wish the best of luck to Garza, who among other things, was best known as the man who put the corkscrew plancha on the map, and was for years the No. 2 man in the Perros Del Mal stable.  Gutting. I loved me some Hector Garza. His run in TNA in 2004 or 5 when he was rubbing shoulders with Scott Hall was absolutely tremendous!  I remember Garza from one or two matches in the WWF in 1996/1997 as part of the AAA agreement. Most of the AAA guys they used were either total spot artists or washed up but Garza stood out as really good from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing_Red_Fan Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Really shitty news about Garza, incredibly talented performer. He looked really good during some (fairly) recent NJPW tours.Bob Holly's autiobiography (The Hardcore Truth) is coming out in April next year.

Forrest Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Aw shite, that is terrible news about Garza. He was brilliant in the endless conveyor belt of 6 and 8 man tags on Nitro and the corkscrew plancha was always a markout moment. Get well soon, big chap!

Loki Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 He's one of those "what happened to in TNA" guys for me - was clearly brilliant and in the middle of a major face push, on the cusp of main eventer and then he suddenly disappeared. I seem to remember he got busted with some grass or something coming over from Mexico. I guess that was probably his last chance at US success. Pity.

Paid Members Statto Posted October 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yeah, you're spot on Loki - drug bust at the border and he never came back.I think it was even on the morning of a TNA PPV he had a pretty major role in.

Garza was supposed to wrestle Scott Hall with Roddy Piper as a guest referee. Jeff Hardy ended up wrestling Hall on the PPV instead. Shame. Garza was a roll back then. He had just beat TNA's golden boy AJ Styles, almost beat Jarrett in a Title match and was probably about to go over Hall. Of all the singles latino guys TNA have tried pushing over the years (Apolo, Shocker, Mesias, Hernandez, etc.) Garza was the best, IMO.

The drug bust is what got him those visa issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKAC Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Have to echo the TNA love for Garza. He could move like an X Division guy but just his smug heel-ness of looking down on the other guys was great. Â Edit: Send? I meant echo.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted October 18, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted October 18, 2012 I always remember that battle royal they had in TNA with Garaza winning it. La Parka was there as well. There was a load of old and new names in that battle royal. A really fun match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
