El Santo vs Espanto (Máscara vs Máscara)

 

[Chris]

He's also in a Pixar movie

 

[Alexa]

Watched a few matches of his here and there, but his movies are fun to watch especially since they are so cheesy

 

[Chris]

We should do a watch-along of his movies

 

[Alexa]

Honestly, I would recommend that because as I said they are cheesy, but entertaining as hell especially with other people

Between him, Blue Demon, and Mil Mascaras they help made Lucha Libre the way it is and help spread it. Also, La de a Caballo, the horse-mounting choke, better known as The Camel Clutch, is so closely related to the El Santo and his family, that hardly any other Luchador or Luchadora use the move. This is all despite the fact that the move was created by Gory Guerrero.
