José Huertas González (born March 17, 1947[2]) better known as Invader 1, is a Puerto Rican retired professional wrestler, who wrestled in the United States and around the world, especially in Puerto Rico.[3] He was charged with the murder of wrestler Frank Goodish (Bruiser Brody), but claimed self defense and was acquitted in contentious circumstances. These included key witnesses to the incident being unable to testify due to receiving their summons after the trial had concluded, domestic witnesses and event investors corroborating a different account than foreign witnesses, and the murder weapon mysteriously vanishing.[4] [5]
Since 1973, he was a wrestler and booker for the World Wrestling Council and wrestled for the International Wrestling Association. He held the Puerto Rico heavyweight title twelve times between 1977 and 2001,[6] and the WWC Television Title five times between 1986 and 1991.[7] He retired in 2006 to enter politics.[8] González began wrestling as The Prophet in Chicago. In 1972 he joined the WWF.[3] When he returned to Puerto Rico to fight with Capitol Sports Promotions, he took on the masked persona of The Invader so his mother would not know he was a wrestler.[3] He fought on The Invaders tag team with Roberto Soto as Invader 2 and then Johnny Rivera as Invader 3.[3] The Invaders worked as a mid-card tag team in the WWF in the early 1980s. They left WWF in 1984. He would return to Puerto Rico working for International Wrestling Association (Puerto Rico) and World Wrestling Council.
In 2011, he returned to the ring, wrestling as Invader 1.
In 2012, González became the corporative director of the World Wrestling League. In 2015, he was inducted into the Salón de los Inmortales.
In 2019, he wrestled at 73 years old. González made an appearance at IWA on March 12, 2022, in Humacao, Puerto Rico with arch enemy Chicky Starr as a guest referees for a tag team match between Savio Vega & Electro against Manny Ferno & Khris Diaz.
April 30, 2022 in Humacao, Puerto Rico on Juicio Final, with Savio Vega & Chicky Starr as guest referees he defeated Manny Ferno to win the World Championship. His last match was that August.
In July 1988, González fatally stabbed professional wrestler Frank Donald Goodish, known as Bruiser Brody, backstage during a wrestling event in Puerto Rico.[9] González was acquitted of murder in 1989 after a jury accepted that he was acting in self-defense.[10] Another wrestler, Tony Atlas, says he witnessed the stabbing in the locker room showers, but the knife used in the stabbing was not recovered. Tony Atlas and Dutch Mantel were called to testify, however the subpoenas were mailed late, arriving ten days after the trial ended. The investigation was criticised in Dark Side of the Ring and two books about Brody: Bruiser Brody (Crowbar Press) and Brody (ECW Press).[11]
On August 11, 2014, a fire at González's home destroyed a car, a motorcycle and part of his house.[12]
