  Santo Biography
El Santo (whose real name was Rodolfo Guzman Huerta) was born on Sept. 23, 1917 in Tulancigo, Hidalgo, Mexico.
Santo started out as a "rudo" (bad guy) in the ring, but years later (in the early sixties) decided that becoming a technico (good guy) would greatly enhance his career.
Santo was asked by a film producer to appear in a 1952 Mexican serial called "THE MAN IN THE SILVER MASK", in which he would've played the silver-masked villain, but he refused to appear in it, thinking it would fail at the box office.

 The legend of El Santo
Santo was so protective of concealing his identity that he would often take a different flight from the production crew to film locations because he didn't want them to see him go through customs without his mask for fear of being identified later on the set.
While El Santo was unquestionably the most popular and recognizable Lucha star, he was not as good of a worker as Gory Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero's father and considered by many as the best wrestler in the history of Mexico.
For Santo, the pain of retiring was made easier when his son debuted shortly after carrying on in his footsteps as El Hijo del Santo (the son of the Saint).

 Professional Wrestling Online Museum - Spotlight on El Santo
El Santo was famous for his silver mask - and the fact that he was never seen without it.
More than any other wrestler, El Santo was able to keep his true identity and face a mystery and this served him well in creating a mystique which increased his popularity with wrestling fans across Mexico.
With all of his success and after so many years as an active performer, El Santo decided to call it quits and retired from the Ring in 1983, one year after the debut in the Ring of his son, El Higo Del Santo.

 El Santo!
A heavily padded but enjoyably silly Santo outing, Santo in the Vengeance of the Mummy (Santo en la venganza de la momia) works best during the aforementioned flashback, obviously inspired by the 1959 Hammer version of The Mummy, and the rampage of the mummy who may not be all that he seems.
The last Santo film from director Delgado, this enjoyable but decidedly slapdash outing features a great villainous turn from Russek, some fetching female leads, and a surfeit of action both inside and out of the ring, though the budgetary limitations were really taking their toll by this point.
Though billed as a Santo film, this is actually a vehicle for the Son of Santo ("el Hijo del Santo"), though since they're both musclebound wrestlers wearing silver masks and everyone calls him "Santo" anyway, few will be able to tell the difference.
