January 28, 201312 yr Author comment_5531474 A feature on El Santo, including funeral footage from 1984! His peers and a few contemporaries say some things about him that I'm sure are nice. We even get a few old clips, which look phenomenal. Cool segment, and a sad reminder of how little lucha footage we really have.
February 3, 201312 yr comment_5532841 A cool segment that I wish had subtitles or that I was more fluent in Spanish.
February 25, 201312 yr comment_5536878 Santo throws some pretty wicked punches, actually. The stuff at the end from what was probably the tail end of his career was the coolest part for me. I wonder how much of that kind of footage is still out there somewhere.
March 15, 201312 yr comment_5539009 Footage of Santo’s funeral from 84. Comments from various luchadores. Some nice old footage.
March 17, 201312 yr comment_5539275 It's going to be interesting to see how much Lucha footage from the 80's was unearthed when the set comes out.
May 14, 201312 yr comment_5544650 I always liked these lucha features for culture aspects and this was no exception. The old clips especially was cool.
April 18, 201510 yr comment_5665173 Not much else to add. I liked how both rudos and tecnicos paid tribute to Santo here, and the old footage we see is in better shape than some of the stuff WWE has unearthed since then. Like the others here, I wish we had access to it. I don't think any wrestler who died today, even Hogan, would have a funeral as well attended as Santo's was. This man wasn't only a wrestling legend, he was a Mexican national legend.
May 7, 20178 yr comment_5799650 Really cool stuff, and yeah those punches are wicked.... makes me want to search for more Santo footage.
October 22, 20177 yr comment_5817465 Incredible footage. The sheer size of the funeral is just staggering.
