el santo freed the slaves

Well he is not wrong for the first but it comes up to more different then same
>>
>>19941891
The funny thing is that retards will get angry over this just because they personally know who Rey Mysterio is and not El Santo.
>>
>>19941912
El Santo was only massively popular in Mexico. Rey is popular across the entire world.
>>
people need to understand that Rey in Mexican Lucha Libre means little.
>>
>>19941891
El Santo is only relevant to beaners because they have no actual historical figures they can be proud of
>>
>>19941930
Because of him.

Mount Rushmore question. It is commonly said the most over Japanese wrestler was Rikidozan and the most over Mexican wrestler was El Santo. In America, there's all kinds of arguments over the most over but it's pretty much Hulk Hogan. Now let's say we move those three to the Mountain.

>Hulk Hogan
>Rikidozan
>El Santo

Is the fourth one Big Daddy for being the most over British wrestler ever?
>>
>>19941952
Sure they do and El Santo is one of them.

That's like putting the Undertaker on a Mt. Rushmore. He's an attraction, not someone you build around.

Emiliano Zapata. Led the Mexican revolution with Pancho Villa and won
>>
can't wait for all the WWE grifter accounts to seethe over this one
>>
>>19942016
>>19942035
A bit funny that both were supported by the United States government to overthrow the Mexican government and his current fans hate the United States. Pancho Villa was such a sore loser that he chimped and attacked both the new mexican goverment and the american goverment and then got btfo
>>
>>19942039
idk if anyone (except cody) is saying rey is a bigger star than santo. its comparing him to lincoln. john wayne is maybe fair.
>>
>>19941925
Rey is only to wrestling fans. Santo had over 50 movies and they were shown in Spanish speaking countries outside of Mexico. Some were translated into other languages.

"The English-language version was a television staple for several decades, and it was also well-received in France and other European countries at the time of its original release."

What are you babbling about. Everyone knows gringos are in the business for themselves. And it was Villa & Zapata’s combined stables that invaded the fed’s capitol, and won the title clean in a loser leaves town match
>>
>>19942081
Yeah the difference in Mexico is that Rey widely is known by wrestling fans, but El Santo is known by EVERYONE, even your great granny
>>
>>19941952
Even Zorro was Irish.
>>
>>19941891
I mean, yeah, Dave, Lincoln is America's most famous wrestler, but he's not exactly known for that.
McMahon once told Newsweek or some rag that the NWA championship, which he owned by that time due to WCW, could be traced back to Lincoln having one.
>>
>>19941891
In what way is El Taco a bigger star lmao, what, just because he sold out in front of 70 spics? This is derangement syndrome tier delusion lmao.
You can ask anyone from the depths of Bolivia to Nepal to Korea and they would know who Rey Mysterio is. Do the same for El Sharto and people would think he's a Nacho Libre character because nobody outside of spicland knows who the fuck that is.

Eric Roberts has over 700 roles to his name and no one gives a shit about him. Movies are not this gauge to measure fame anymore and perhaps never were in some cases. It depends on the movie, I could not name you a single movie Santo was in and I've been watching pro wrestling my entire life. Eric Roberts was in the DOA movie adaptation.
>>
>>19942573
>this notorious ‘that guy’ bit part actor isn’t famous
>that’s the same as a guy who was the lead in a bunch of movies aimed at a completely different audience from me, a person who didn’t watch Spanish films in the 70s
Do you have shoot autism?

>>19941891
>he's le bigger star because a bunch of spics know him
By this retarded logic Sami Callihan is a megastar because every single smark knows his name kek
>>
>>19942512
It's just americans, they'd proudly say Zack Ryder was bigger than El Santo too

I find the feud between El Santo family quite fascinating
>El Hijo del El Santo forbids his nephew Axel to called himself El Nieto (the grandson) del El Santo or any El Santo related name
>there even a lawsuit between these two
>El Hijo and Axel are 8 years apart due to El Hijo is the youngest son out of 11 children of El Santo

>a bunch of dysgenic low-IQ inbred losers were financed by the globohomo of the time to do a coup against the traditional, natural hierarchy, and after pillaging their own country, they sit proud in the seats of the aristocrats with pure envy and zero idea why they did what they did and what to do next
same as in the (((Glorious))), (((French))) and (((Russian))) "revolutions" (read Kaczynski, Burke and that Russian mathematician all writing about the same "lesser people")
>>
>>19942108
What did they won? The history of Mexico is 90% civil war or tyranny, and the history after Zapata and Villa is the one of a permanent shithole fully hostage of foreign-paid cartels made of low-IQ local fecaloids.
How is your life in Jalisco, Dave? I bet it ain't better than mine
>>
>>19942601
The argument is whether Rey Mysterio is more well known to El Santo, and he clearly is, except for autistic outliers like yourself who think everyone else has a mental problem.
>>
El Santo was bigger than Chud Hogan and Inoki
is Rey bigger than those 2?
>>
>>19942845
Yes he is
>>
>>19941987
I think Inoki was big enough in Japan to be fourth, under Rikidozan. He was also massively influential on the sport, not just in Japan, but worldwide. A lot of what he did would go on to affect other regions of the world.

>>19941891
Globally Rey is 100 times more recognizable than El Santo, Cody isn't wrong. No one is denying that El Santo is a wrestling icon in Mexico, but that's like saying that Misawa is great, but you're comparing him with Hogan or Cena in global relevance.
>>
>>19943930
People descended from the east would happily willingly try to make that argument, because they are genetically capable of being honest or having integrity.
>>
>>19942016
El Raw or El Smackdowno?
>>
>>19941891
As a beaner santos made tons of cheap ass movies that didnt have high revenue. Capulina made like 30 more movies and he said he was never a millionaire. Pedro infante people assume he was but he singing going on just like Vicente Fernandez. My point being, EL santo’s movie career being blow out of proportions. Those types of movies were just like cheap movies to go to every week, they arent same shit as movies now a days.
