More El Santo

Santo

Tons of more articles remembering Santo and talking about yesterday’s festivities. Apologies if a duplicate article sneaks thru.

* Santo bios: Milenio (more detail about his lucha career than elsewhere), ESPN Deportes, informador, mt, am.com.mx, and Santo in his own words

* E-Consulta sets the scene at the Santo statue

* Recap of all the events of the day: El Siglo de Torreon. ESTO is more detailed, with separate articles on Hijo del Santo visiting the statue, the mass and the crowd wanting to get in. Notimex talks to other wrestlers at the mass about Santo.

* Interviews with El Hijo del Santo: Milenio, el diario

* El Santo as film star, a psuedo-national holiday, an eternal idol and a well marketed brand despite (or becuase) much pirated/quasi-legal merchandise.

* SuperLuchas looks back at Santo vs Bobby Lee, Santo’s last major feud.

* and Kcidis Santo toon

Kinda interesting to note that Axxel is nowhere to be found in any of this. Occasionally, the interviewer (and the quotes are so similar it may just be one interview) asks about the Nieto del Santo deal, and Santo is more respectful towards Axxel than usual while asserting his total control over the Santo name and legacy, but Axxel himself appears to be a non-person.
