Darren Watts Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Came across this today while still working to wrap up Lucha Hero. Consider this a sort of "teaser reel" for the book. dw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pól Ruadh Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Re: A montage of El Santo clips I love the story from 'Mondo Lucha-a-go-go', one of the best resources on lucha libre as a phenomenon ever where the writer is talking to a Southern California-based local wrestling promoter. He asks the promoter who his favourite ever is and the guy answers "El Santo" without hesitation. "So how often did you see him wrestle?" "Never, he was retired by the time I was watching wrestling." "So, your favourite luchador is a guy you've never actually seen live?" "Dude... It's SANTO!" Oh yes indeed, El Santo is The Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Gridlock Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Re: A montage of El Santo clips I grew up in Los Angeles and when I was a kid, the Spanish-language channel used to run Lucha Libre peliculas (movies) on Saturday afternoons. El Santo, Mil Mascaras, El Diablo Azul, etc. No subtitles, but hey, you really didn't need them. I think my favorite Santo movie is Santo contra Las Mujeres Vampiro. That really is a clasic.
