Black Guzmán
Miguel Wenceslao Guzmán Huerta (1916 – December 1, 1973), best known by his ring name Black Guzmán, was a Mexican luchador (or professional wrestler). His ring name was a nickname he had earned due to his tan skin color. Guzmán's style was centered on the headscissors, pioneering several variations of the headscissors takedown, and was one of the first luchadors to work a fast-paced, aerial style. He was the first Mexican National Light Heavyweight Champion, winning a tournament in 1943. Guzmán also competed under his real name for Texas-based Southwest Sports, Inc. for a number of years, including eight reigns as the NWA Texas Heavyweight Champion and one run with the NWA Texas Tag Team Championship alongside Rito Romero.
