@UnDefinedLegacy He has his own freaking statue in Turkey, near the Istanbul film theatre, another example of his larger than life status. When it comes to B-Movies, Mexican horror/scifi/action films starring masked wrestlers are among my top favs

We should all follow El Santo's example & do our bits to fight injustice & crime.
Not to mention Aztec Vampire Zombies.

The term "Larger Than Life" gets thrown around a lot these days, but in the case of Lucha Libre legend El Santo, it is entirely appropriate. At 5'9" he was of only average height, but Santo's reputation puts him on par with pulp legends many times his size, like King Kong or Mothra. In fact, those beasts, and many more, were probably next on the wrestler's hit list before his passing in 1984.
