Posted July 21, 20187 yr comment_5857839 And the sad news just keeps pouring in. Rayo de Jalisco is an absolute legend of lucha libre. He was a contemporary of El Santo and Blue Demon, and like them he also transitioned into making movies in the 1970s. He was 85 years old.
July 21, 20187 yr comment_5857871 Is it safe to say that hadn't he been in the shadow of El Santo, he could've been as big as him?
July 21, 20187 yr comment_5857872 I wish I had a comprehensive source on the history of lucha. I think Jalisco was the last great Mexican wrestler of his generation.

Santo was such a transcendent figure it's impossible to think anyone could have been as big as him. He could have been at the Blue Demon level though.
