~o/"This is the song of Santo, by day a famous wrestler."\o~

[docwebster]

Twenty years ago today, El Santo, the most famous wrestler in the history of Mexico, died of a heart attack at age 67. Santo (real name Rodolfo Guzman Huerta), in addition to his wrestling fame, crossed over into movies, starring in over 50 action/horror films. Santo was never seen without his mask on, and in fact was buried in the silver hood that he made famous. Santo's in-ring career lasted 48 years, ending in 1982.

Viva El Santo!
