Loss Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 A cool segment that I wish had subtitles or that I was more fluent in Spanish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 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.

Kevin Ridge Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Footage of Santo’s funeral from 84. Comments from various luchadores. Some nice old footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenjo Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 It's going to be interesting to see how much Lucha footage from the 80's was unearthed when the set comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 I always liked these lucha features for culture aspects and this was no exception. The old clips especially was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 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. Â 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conker8 Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Is that the bonus on the first DVD of the lucha set ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKWebb Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Really cool stuff, and yeah those punches are wicked.... makes me want to search for more Santo footage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Incredible footage. The sheer size of the funeral is just staggering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
