- One of the greatest dishonors in Lucha Libre is to have your mask removed. Legendary Luchador El Santo took this to a whole new level by never removing his mask in public throughout his entire career. That's dedication for you!

It would have been a good video andout a cool ass topic if only you would have just not tried to be funny that shit was wack just stick to giving us info on el santo
I concur
Pin of Shame. if you want boring straight to the point fact videos go somewhere else ya bum
I heard once that he was so famous, his comics reached Spain, and when he died lots of Spanish realized that he was a real person.
Imagine being a literal living legend
True story. his own kid, who later became El Santo Jr. didn't know his dad was el Santo for many years until he saw him put it on in their car in preparation for some event he was attending.
Damn. You know you’re doing a good job when your kid doesn’t even know
That's so awesome it's like learning your dad's a superhero
This true I was about to type that, el hijo del santo, not el santo Jr. Said that in an interview if I was him I would of blown my mind
Man thats like a scene out of a superhero film
That's crazy and absolutely amazing!
I like to imagine that when he died, El Santo was allowed into heaven for all his good deeds, but instead chose to stand by the gates of hell and bodyslam anything that tried to get out.
That’s what Blue Demon is for 😎😎
That totally would happen, no masks allowed in heaven.
El Santo verses Doom Slayer is canon in real life
@@jacksonmallory583 el santo ft doom slayer ;)
He teamed up with Doomslayer and Blue Demon to stop Armageddon whil Macho Man is preparing for the Rapture.
It’s clear that he wears his mask all the time because, even for his cameo in Coco, he’s wearing his goddamn mask
he was buried with his mask
Even as a skeleton, he was in his mask 😂😂.
Wait what? He cameo'd in Coco?
@@efu2046
Of course! Pixar doesn't mess around they went to 11 on Mexican culture.
el santo lived in the same neighborhood as my great uncle in mexico and he used to tell my brothers and I how el santo would jog down the street with his mask on, and people would jog next to him.
Where did he live?
*In the same neighborhood.*
El Santo Is great. In real life he was the best wrestler of México. And in fiction he was like Batman. But better, because he has won fighting zombies, vampires, werewolfs, various monsters, aliens, anything you can imagine. And he didnt even wear a shirt
Santo, Santo, Santo, Santo !!
YOU FORGOT THE MUMMIES!
Him and blue demon are mexico’s most famous luchadors in fact asking a mexican if they know any of these two guys is like asking them if they know jesus.
Kaliman was the best, but santo was a legend
Chabelo y el Santo contra los monstruos
He was a cameo in Pixar's COCO lol. Meaning as long as you are dead, famous, and Mexican, you get to star in COCO.
Illegal Poptart
: I'm surprised Anthony Quinn didn't show up in Coco
CPU Purple Heart/Neptune
So what? Mexican Chuck Norris or something?
More like a Mexican Chuck Norris+Batman
O
Illegal Poptart asies 👍vato
“El Santo, why don’t you take off your mask?”
....”this is the way”
"Reveals he has no skin"
This is the way.
El Santolorian
Well he was *the* Manda'lor, everyone else is just a disciple.
@Eric Hart # Star Wars fans bois!
It wasn't that he knew he was going to die. Clearly, the mask felt betrayed, took over Santo's body while Santo slept, poured over medical journals to learn how to fake a heart attack, but actually committed murder suicide so they could never be apart again.
So Klyntar Symbiote was based on a real life story and the reason the mask is on his body is to stop it bonding with someone else and becoming Venom or Carnage
no no no you got it all wrong what actually happened is that someone had a death note and when they finally saw their face they killed him with well the most classical way for the death note to kill someone... a hearth attack
This fits so well it must true
joper3 Of course you would remind me of Death Note. Now I have to watch it and get depressed all over again.
Rebecca Arnold you're welcome
they need to make a 21JumpStreet style movie with El Santo and Blue Demon and they keep their masks but act normal and as long as theyre wearing a wig or glasses as disguise nobody can identify them.
Kaltagstar96 changedotorg petition?
Need it
take my money!
It would never happen, directors always want you to see the actors face.
The Radical Den! No, that would be the actors agents.
Interviewer: what if I took off your mask
El Santo: it’d be very painful
Interviewer: you’re a big guy
El Santo: For you
*+*
That's smart because he could keep his personal life separate from the fame. Would be harder to do today with so many robots following you with their cameras and phones
Well blue demon Jr has kept his identity a secret from any sources in the morden world
@@Dog99193 Hi Ryan
@@Dog99193 very impressive
He took his mask off for 10 seconds and died ten days later? Hmmmmmmm
Maybe by revealing his true identity he lost favour with the power of the God of Lucha Libre or something...
There was a legend that said that if he was to take off his mask, he would die. He took it off for ten seconds, ten days later he was dead. Coincidence ?
hector Salcido i think not!
This guy would have been the greatest 3rd member of Daft Punk ever.
As a Mexican, like to say thank you for talking about El Santo, he was part of the Golden Era of Mexico’s cinema. And one great super hero kids grew loving him
I live in Chile (some 7000km south of Mexico) and my dad was a really big fan as a kid, and even as an old man he watched El Santo and Blue Demond old movies whenever they were on on the Mexican channels on cable.
Aleatorio this makes me happy
Aleatorio i lived in mexico and that was my grandfather life
Wena otro chileno :v
weeeeena shushetumareee!!!
weeeeeeena culiao
The video made him looks like he was a paranoic guy. He did took off his mask from time to time but just like Batman, no one knew it was him.
El Santo was a national icon and also a super heroe. Thats what most luchadores were here in Mexico, El Santo being the most iconic one. His movies are fun to watch too. He is one of my favorite super heroes too.
PrivateCheeselaw well to be fair he did say publicly and also they exaggerated for the sake of comedy
fun fact: apparently he was also famous in Turkey, where they made a film about a crime-fighting trio of superheroes formed by him, captain america and spider man
The legendary Santo was so private about his identity , that he never took his mask off, not even when he was taking a shit.He was the most famous icon, wrestler - actor, that ever existed. Watch his old movies , especially the ones in black and white, he was great.
Ye well he could just take his mask off and not draw attention to were he lived maybe that would help.
I will be anticipating that Jackie Chan Adventures tangent. I loved that show
Have you found it yet? I've been searching the channel ;w;
I'm not aware of this tangent yet 4 months later. Much saddness
One of his movies was played in France for 40+ weeks; this French guy learned how surrealist is Mexico IRL when he learned that El Santo was a real luchador.
Dali been saying how surreal Mexico is
@@mindfulnessorganix1588 he was not kidding.
As a Mexican i am very proud of el Santo and his part of my culture
There's a pic and comic book of El Santo and Batman fighting crime together.
I love that this exists. Also, Jackie Chan Adventures fucking rules!
I agree with both this statements wholeheartedly
He sounds like a pretty cool dude. Rather thoughtful guy. “Lemme allow them the luxury of seeing my face; at least once, since I’m dying soon.”
Ye y didn't they take a pic of his face when they took it off when he died cause then we will actually see .
I love Lucha Libre and it's always amazing to hear someone talk about El Santo.
I think it's really nice and respectful that they left his mask on.
The entire episode, I'm trying to remember the luchidor's name from Jackie Chan Adventures, and lo and behold, a tangent about Jackie Chan Adventures.
Alex Smith el toro
this just makes me want to get a mask and never take it off
I'll do it too and when we meet, we'll fight
@@voidhog1028 id pay to watch that
Jackie Chan Adventures was my jam when I was little! Gosh I love that show...
Up until the end of this video I thought that I had dreamed it. Because I remember watching it as a child with my grandmother and loving it, but I never heard of it ever since and I started to think that maybe it was part of my imagination. I feel so relieved right now
I was expecting a joke about el Santo having sex in the mask
Zeta Omega You know it happened. C'mon.
"One thin mask for the summer, one thick mask for the winter, and one ribbed mask for her pleasure"
That's actually not that crazy
Also his son was never alowed to say his father was a wrestler
Really? Why?
@@michaelterrell5061 to keep his identity secret
@@cinbilin Oh that makes sense thank you.
He never removed his mask? That is the way.
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
Is it weird, it makes me feel good knowing El santo still has his mask on;)
El santo is a legend in mexico
I'm of Mexican descent. I was a kid in the 70's. I grew up knowing of Lucha Libre before knowing of WWF. El Santo was a huge hero of mine. I did rank him up with Batman, Superman, Spiderman, etc. Great memories.
This man is literally the mandalorian this is the way
lolol
El Santo is my all time favorite luchador/wrestler. I love you El Santo, always have and always will
YOU COVERED EL SANTO.
ya'll rock man.
You guys brought a tear to my eye
I'm Mexican and this video isn't exactly accurate. He wasn't some crazy nut who absolutely NEVER took off his mask, he just was never unmasked in wrestling, in a movie or in public appearance, never showed his face to the public until he died.
BUT he had a normal life on the side, he didn't sit at home with his wife and kids wearing that mask, whenever he wanted to do normal people shit, which was most of the time, he just - ok, are you ready for this? - HE DIDN'T WEAR THE MASK! Right??
Because no one knew it was him, so it didn't matter if he went out in public without the mask! Mind blowing, innit??
His name was Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta and though he was very secretive about his double identity as El Santo (His own son never learned his father was the famous Santo for years), he wasn't a crazy dude who never took off his mask in real life. He even wrestled under other names before coming up with his Santo character.
Masked luchadores are a hallmark of Mexican wrestling or lucha. Every single masked wrestler NEVER unmasks in public unless the organization for which he or she works scripts that he's going to lose a 'Mask vs Hair' match, where the loser either shaves his head or loses his mask and abandons his masked identity forever. They agree to do that beforehand, of course, because as everyone knows, wrestling is scripted. Even the gossip press makes a lot of noise if an alleged photo of a currently performing Luchador without his mask leaks. Most just deny it's them though.
Great video though and I am very happy people talk about this man who is an absolute LEGEND in Mexico, many of the things on it are true, but people shouldn't think that he went 24/7 with that mask on. Like a superhero he took it off where he was sure no one was watching or had followed him and just made a normal life. He did do crazy stuff like switch cars after unmasking and leave through another door, etc.

Lestat220289 what the fuck does being Mexican have to do with it I'm Mexican and didn't know about him until I was 14
Are you still 14? I think it's obvious that just as a Japanese person might know more than a foreigner about a Japanese subject, so would a Mexican know more than a foreigner about a Mexican subject. Many things get lost in translation. Do I really need to spell this out for you? Do you think many Irishmen know who is the founding father of México, for example?
And by Mexican I mean actually born, raised and living in Mexico, not chicano. I'd expect U.S Mexicans to know little about this subject.
Lestat220289 Who said he was a crazy nut? And did you miss the part where they said *Santo* never took his mask off *in public* ? It's repeated several times. The private person may have walked around without a mask but the video's not about him but the personality Santo. You seem to have taken unwarranted offence.
Lestat220289 no I'm 18 now
God I love Jackie Chan Adventures so much. Just, so much.
Love how these shows are done in like 5 takes friday evening at 8pm after everyone on staff is hammered or high, and yet somehow remains relatively on topic.... sort of.
I used to watch santo and blue demon movies with my uncle as a child, thank you for this episode :,)
James Sie (voice of Jackie Chan in Jackie Chan Adventures) also took over voicing Master Monkey on the show Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness. Oh, and yes El Toro is partially inspired by El Santo.
One of my favorite movie moments is blue demon takes off his mask to reveal a mask underneath
My new favorite channel and a wrestler that my father raised me on in one vid? My worlds are colliding
El Santo is pretty awesome, I live in the town where he was born and we have a museum and a statue dedicated to him
I love that you watch Jackie Chan Adventures, and I thought of El Toro when hearing this story as well.
don't know how I got here but I'm glad I did. Such a badass story
the man is legend, plain and simple
He never took his mask off in public, El Santo was ahead of his time
Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask.
I just see inspiration of el santo by mask ,design and I've now respect him for all greatness , dedication
Thanks dear sir love this video
He would probably be in commercials telling you to wear a mask if he was still alive
I live in a town that has a painted mural of El Santo!!! This is no joke this man is a legend 💯💯 thanks for bringing this up sir!!
This man (El Santo) is my hero
el toro fuerte never removes his mask
“El Santo will never take off his mask again” that line gave me a nice warm smile
I remember watching his movies as a kid, it was the shit.
I just bought a handmade el Santo desk lamp from Facebook marketplace. It is my most prized possession now.
Im glad that you did a topic about this thx Carl this made my day 😄 you should mention the other luchador rival the blue demon
They're more like friends
3:38 el santo was one of the journalists as well and he didnt wear the mask but nobody knew it was him
jackie chan adventures is amazing and if it didn't look so dated at this point i'd happily rewatch it a 3d time.
Waaaaaaaaan moooooore thing, JAAAAAAAACKIIIIIEEEEEE!
I have to watch it again now
‘One moe thing’
Mask maker: how many mask do you want?
El Santo: yes
I remember as a kid, I really loved wtching his movies. he would fight werewolves, vampires and other monsters, including human bad guy thugs. He was like a real life super hero.
He was the passion that is Mexico in the height of Lucha libre and hes real. I love him for that we do it better.
That type of dedication with El Santo really is an inspiration to the human will though....and that alone should change a couple of people who hear about it...
I fucking loved Jackie Chan Adventures. Please do a video about it. Look at the lore / chinese mythology stuff that it uses or something. It was such a good show.
Also, I knew that Jackie Chan was a real person when I watched it, but I was super disappointed to learn that his niece Jade was not also a real person. She was everything I thought I was at that age.
Please do one of the Jackie Chan Adventures, I was in high school watching that show 👍🏽
I started watching the show again recently.. El Toro is an awesome character.. Then again so is Jackie Chan..
Plot twist, that was his stunt double in that last interview
🤣
I swear, I watched the entire Jackie Chan show but I never saw anything about it ever again until now. I thought I imagined the whole thing
The fact they burried him in his mask made my night.
This is so the best goddamn channel on YT. I burn out on politics, social matters, drama.
I never tire of you guys. Thanks for what you do!
El Santo was our hero. I remembered when he was about to take his mask off upon retirement and I looked away from the screen. Im in my 40’s and still get emotional about his loss. 😢
Jackie Chan Adventures was the tits. There was a magazine that ran alongside it and if you subscribed to it you got a collector's tin which would contain the cards and animal talismans you'd get with each issue of the magazine. I nearly got them all but my parents chucked it. Proper livid over that.
I would watch you talk about Jackie Chan Adventures for 20 minutes; it was the shit! I started watching it as a kid simply because it was on after Pokemon, but it got to the point where I was usually looking forward more to Jackie Chan. It seemed kind of low budget, but you could tell the people involved really cared about what they were doing -- the characters were great, and some of the dialogue was hilarious. It had this random, off-beat sense of humor that I really didn't expect.
The most hyped up face reveal
Man el santo and blue demon, they were such a inspiration to my dad.
The Mexican J Jonah Jameson hahahahaha
Just earned a sub!
*EL SANTOS = LEGEND* ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
You think it’s wierd that he died ten days after he uncovered his face I think it’s wierd that ten days after he uncovered his face for ten seconds *Iluminati music
*
El Santo has just entered my roster of heros.
6:28 I think if Chris Pratt does that, he should go for accuracy and name himself _El Twat._
Also, I think the studio's response would be "if the character is gonna wear a mask, that's a good opportunity to get an actor who's cheaper than Chris Pratt"
I'm late but I want to make this joke, "THE MASK STAYS ON DURING SEX"
I remember when I was a little kid and my parents were watching El Santo, good times
That mask is a goddamn scp why hasn't anyone realized?
imagine being one of the only guys in the 1900's to see a literal superhero's real face
Imagine El Santo,Mil Mascaras, Blue Demon and a bunch of other luchadores just form the mexican avengers..
I would pay to see that
a stunt double for a scene where his face is visible and the face of the stunt double is not allowed to be seen just wow
El Santo is shaving and still wearing a mask
He actually took his mask off once in a movie, there was another mask underneath, this turned into a gif
I remember seeing that interview as a kid. It was a morning TV show like "Good Morning America". I was visiting my grandparents with my mom in Mexico and we were gathered around the table having breakfast. It's near the end of, I think, a ten minute interview that he flips of the mask and we all were just dumbfounded and slack jawed when he did it.
You know I think he just assume someone would take his mask of his dead body and just show it around, maybe he wanted to show it under his own circumstances.
i think i remember short clips in cartoon network of an animated series of el santo,those were good.
Imagine his Doc told him he had 11 days to live and he took advantage of it by rushing and pulling every type of favors to book an interview TOMORROW where he did the reveal so he could rest properly knowing that in 10 more days, he will be gone but doing the 1 thing everyone wanted him to do AND that his mask will be on at his funeral so he RIP with his mask on.
Or can we get a whole video of Karl talking about Jackie Chan Adventures?
I love this amount of dedication to Kayfabe you have to respect it. i know there's a picture of Taker on the Revis and Kelly show or some shit in full mid 90's Taker gimmick crow and all and its amazing
I can’t wait for this tangent so excited and I hope he does an impression of uncle
Im so glad I learned about this person, its such fascinating history.
