I think Chaparita ASARI invented it but Garza was certainly one of the first, if not the first, to perform it on US TV.

The bio in the Observer this week is tremendous. Find it if you can.

I don't know if moves are being mixed up here, as Mr Jones says this move is always credited to Asari. Meltzer and the guys on the LuchaWorld podcast seem to think Garza invented the Tornillo (corkscrew plancha)

I've never really watched Lucha Libre all that much, but I remember Hector Garza well as leader of Team Mexico in TNA. He was a great wrestler who was taken far too young.

 

RIP Hector Garza
