• ♩♫ Intense and Upbeat ...
El Santo was a huge movie star in Mexico and still one of the national heroes of Mexico. Thank you WhatCulture for this, thank you for giving people awareness about El Santo
I've seen a couple of his movies, they were ok
ranwolf76 just had to share your opinion huh
yes. problem?
ranwolf76 they were ok, but that in of itself was ok. they were campy b movies at best but they did provide story and mystique, how many wrestlers so you know fought off vampire women, or visited the underworld to rescue his friends?
You seem to be under the mistaken impression I'm shitting on El Santo for some reason. How is your question even relevant?
As a horror fan, Mexican horror wrestling is a sadly overlooked genre. Santo's films are incredibly entertaining. Just pure nonsense bliss. El Santo absolutely deserved this pipebomb.
Michael Crosby as a horror fan
where can I find el santo's films with english subtitles
"Mexican horror wrestling" You sir, have made my month!!!!! give me some titles or where i can find a list of of these movies
El Santo vs the mommies, El Santo vs the zombies, El Santo vs the vampire women just to mention a few. I translated the titles but i guess you can still find them like that. I think he also got a mini cartoon series back in 2004 more or less called El Santo vs the clones.
lol Here in Mexico there is a channel with all of his movies
Catching the back half of Santo VS the Vampire Women while channel surfing, once, was what got me into Mystery Science Theater 3000.
I'm mexican and my mom & dad met because of his movies! My parents used to go to the cinema when a Santo movie was released, they say the crowds used to cheer like it was a wrestling arena when he started to fight with the villains. Such a legend... And maybe the reason why I do exist.
I can't believe Plumpy mentioned Chespirito as well. I like it when non mexicans talk about him.
kinky
It seems like he really either knows his shit or did good research.
Carlos Jimenez good research, probably. Otherwise, he'd probably have also mentioned Cantinflas and maybe even Maria Felix.
I thought he was going to mention Vicente Fernandez.
I'm from Montreal Canada. Every Summer we have a genre film fest called Fantasia. Most years have an El Santo film playing. Thanks for this.
jawzdeadeye that's awesome!!!
Got emotional through the whole video. El Santo is truly the definition of Lucha Libre, there will never be someone like him. México thanks you, Adam, for giving recognition to the greatest wrestler ever.
Hulk hogan never fought Mummies in Guanajuato....
Nor did he fight zombies, martians, vampire ladies, Dr. Frankenstein, etc.
@@piggyman-st8iuor nazi
😂😂😂😂 I just left a comment about that.
El Santo versus the mummies of Guanajuato.
Amazing movie.
"Santo vs The Border of Terror"
In the wrong context, that's fortune telling at its finest.
The correct name is "Santo en la Frontera del Terror"... "Santo in the Border of Terror"
As a Hispanic.... LOL.
Should do more Mexican wrestling based things on Whatcultre please!
We love El Santo in Mexico. The movie are so campy but so good.
Damian Lopez in terms of campiness there like 60's Batman on steroids
It feels like
Hulk Hogan movies hit like a no man’s land of trying too much and having too little skill
No holds barred feels like the closest he ever got, but still it’s not like Hulk played himself.
I need to get my hands on Santo’s movies
El Santo and Blue demon.
Octagon and Mascara Sagrada.
Those movies were so good.
This is the kind of content i originally subscribed for. Not lists, storylines and recaps.
The Griff I like the lists and the other stuff but this is the kind of stuff I really enjoy.
The Griff Agree
This is the only YT channel that (for the most part) doesn't make clickbait trash lists, so I dissagree.
The Griff They've done lists way longer than pipebombs. Whatculture is built on lists.
The Griff I'm fine with lists and recaps (it's what brought them fame), but I do agree that storylines can be quite obnoxious.
Absolutely love this type of content though.
since before I heard about anything related to WWF, I already heard about El Santo and even watched a couple of his movies. anyone in latin america knows who El Santo is as a character and this video was fucking awesome... thanks Adam!
thanks for showing some love to a legend. my father would tell me stories about El Santo as a kid and we would sit there and watch his movies. He was truly legendary ... keep up the good work .
Thank you for doing this I appreciate you bring my culture in to a video it makes me proud
Orale!!!!!!!
Giynu OG my eyes literally water mi cuate
Giynu OG me made me tear up
Giynu OG I was going to comment almost this exact thing. Thank you, Plumpy! #plumpymania #plumpculture
And a decade later after El Santo died, Eddie Guerrero and Art Barr faced Octagon and El Hijo del Santo in one of my favorite matches. The sons of legendary tag team partners faced each other in a tag match.
Toots Mondt already got put in the Hall of Fame, this year in fact
Just on this Legacy-list or however it's called, not as a real inductee
Doctor Sleep I think the Legacy list are real inductees, just with nobody that can really induct them or do a speech for them
Doctor Sleep I think the legacy count just much as the inductees
When Plumpy did the video, he specifically said that Mondt should be inducted into the Legacy wing at the start of the video, like the other Gold Dust Trio member was the previous year. The Legacy wing seems like an under-representation, I understand. But it's hard to honor people that have long passed the same way we honor those that have recently passed or are still alive.
DoctorApotheosis plus who's gonna induct them in? everyone that's a good candidate is long gone and and who's gonna accept it on their behalf?
growing up i remember my grandparents telling me stories of el santo and all the things he did he is such a legendary figure in Mexico and to the Mexican people it's great to see a video on him describing to others who might not know how great and how big he was
I love this, when I got into wrestling my mother told me she use to get taken to Mexican rings and watch matches. my grandma loved El Santo , she use to go with her father and he use to always tell her to spit on the heels.
I love picturing my grandmother cheering on El Santo while spitting on the heels.
he wasnt a hero in mexico only but in all of latinoamerica, here in Costa Rica they still play his cartoon & movies on tv to this day RIP
This was just brilliant. Being latino El Santo was my first ever exposure to wrestling with his brilliant movies. Thanks for sharing the mythical story of this legend
Awesome video, thanks for do it, I'm not from Mexico, but in my Country El Santo still was a huge icon and an inspiration for 2 of our local heroes wrestlers Los Hermanos Broncos along with Jack Veneno.
Well done Adam, more Mexican wrestlers videos...please !
El Santo movies are wonderful. They run on camp.
This is beautiful. the emotion in Adam's voice is like a little kid. El santo is a legend. May he continue to rest in peace.
Never seen a single El Santo wrestling match but I love his movies. Think of any monster from Universals collection and you can find an El Santo movie where he kicks the shit out of it.
Thank you plumpy. Thank you for your respect for el Santo, for the way that you told his story.
yes, yes a thousand times yes. when I was young, my uncle had a bunch of his movies and we'd watch them together, I grew to love lucha. always have, always will. he was my hero. I actually named my Corgi, El Santo. This man is definitely one of, if not the greatest heroes that ever lived. just sad I never got to meet him.
Que bueno que hablen de El Santo 😄
So many people from Mexico to Argentina watch this channel, keep going in this way, we love it
✌🏻 from Argentina
El santo is an icon!
I remember waking up on Sundays looking his movies, they're awesome, really!
"Saludos" from Mexico 🇲🇽
Thanks a lot for making this video. El Santo deserves to be known by a much larger audience, and I'm glad you guys appreciate the impact he had on wrestling and culture as a whole.
Thank you. Growing up my dad would tell stories about El Santo, I'm happy that my favorite wrestling based RUclips channel talked about him
I have been training in lucha libre for 3 years now and I just want to say thank you guys for this video 🙏 el Santo is an absolute legend almost god like in our industry thank you for spreading his story and giving people awareness about this hero 🙏
it's good that they recognize a great icon of my country, el santo will always be one or maybe the best wrestler of the last Century
El Santo was part of my childhood, glad to see it reach so far into the mainstream.
I
Thank you Whatculture for doing this! I'm mexican. "El Santo" is one of our greatest icons!
Growing up in a household with Mexican parents, I've seen a ton of the El Santo movies. They're great B movies. Thank you for making a video about THE most famous wrestler ever, more than Cena, Hogan, Austin, The Rock, and Sammartino ever were.
Thank you for doing this Adam. I grew up watching him in movies and Im sad to say I almost forgot all about him.
thank you whatculture to let people know about the greatest wrestler of time El Santo ( his movies are amazing)
I think "The Plumpbomb" would be a better title.
His Name Is Chet! The pipeplump
Nover Liginamite Plumppipe
Wow.this was great.i grew up watching El Santo movies with my dad.he was a legend
As a Latino who's grown up watching some of El Santo's movies and knowing about his popularity, it is awesome to see videos like this that reach a multitude of people and teach about the awesome things in Lucha Libre. Thank you WhatCulture.
These are my favorite kind of videos. Videos that teach me things about the Wrestling culture and lure I don't know about, as I was born in 94 and never did much research myself.
thank you for appreciating our culture and making more people aware of the proud history of lucha libre.
If El Santo hadn't unmasked he'd still be alive, but he knew no man should have such power.
thnks for the video adam, i love when foreign lucha/wrestling/puroresu fans take a good and respectful look to the icons of other regions, i salute you
A series about important wrestlers that aren't well known nowadays would be pretty freaking cool.
Adam, yes, Adam, you really have a way with words. Top class.
Those movies always bring a smile to my face.
Thank you for this Adam, I love wrestling and my parents tell me so much about the Luchadors of Mexico,I take great pride in my heritage, espically lucha, thank you
Thank you Adam and Whatculture team! Thank you for sharing this with the world and spread the legend of Mexico's most famous wrestler. My grandfather is one of the biggest fans of El Santo and he's part of that generation that grew up believing he was almost a true superhero which should have been awesome.
As a mexican fan of wrestling, fan of the wwe and fan of WhatCulture, I'm very honored that you talk about legends like El Santo. Very good job, great video. Keep it up! Greetings!
i remeber my dad always talking about el santo like he was a superhero
thanks whatculture
Thank you so much for this acknowledgement, WhatCulture.
Thank you WhatCulture with this El Santo's legend will go on
Really proud that some of our heroes are still remembered and honored, thanks for that Plumpy
That señor is one of the greatest narrations I've ever heard Mr. Plumpy you my friend deserve my like and this message.
thank you so much, finally a nice recognition of my childhood hero 😊
this was so cool. i was introduced to El Santo last year ironically enough watching the first Raw of the new Brand EXT. i was @ a local mexican restaurant and his poster was on the wall and it compelled me to learn more about El Santo.
El santo was honestly the first wrestler I ever knew when I was a child I've seen some of his movies and they really are something thanks whatculture for this he really was a real life super man especially to my father
Great and accurate vid. I grew up with El Santo as my hero. A Mexican icon even today he was depicted in a cameo in the movie COCO. I still have a picture in a frame that he himself signed for me in 1973.
Thank you for raising awareness about El Santo. Growing up in Mexico I used to watch old El Santo movies on Sunday mornings and they were all so cheesy but so much fun. Him and Blue Demon were the real GOATs
never thought i'll see el santo in this channel
saludos desde mexico !!!
Really well done video! Respect for shining a light on Mexican culture and introducing people to the icon that is El Santo
This man fought Mummies, Witches, Vampires, Zombies, Demons, And Even The Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse themselves.
El Santo truly was a real life superhero.
Ever since I saw the Mystery Science Theater episode "Samson vs. the Vampire Women" I've been fascinated by El Santo. I love his movies.
Adam's Pipebomb? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...
There is a fascinating article by Barthes called the World of Wrestling which really explores how El Santo became the icon he did, it is well worth a read and can be found online through Google.
Plumpy and Whatculture, I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for this amazing video telling the story of El Santo. He truly is an icon of my Mexican culture and thank you so much for recognizing his legendary status as well as making it known to your mainstream audience.
Do Blue Demon next
Thank you so much for shining a light on Mexican wrestling. You all cover American wrestling and Japanese wrestling and it's great to see the Mexicans getting some respect.
I'm so happy that Adam decided to cover one of Mexico wrestling heroes, and yes the movies are just great!
Thank you Adam. Thank you for recognizing one of the greats of my country.
El Santo: Lucha Libre's Rey de Reyes (The KING of KINGS!)
Thank you for this guys El Santo is as you said a national treasure a big part of are culture and it is absolutely awesome that you can make his name to be known everywhere
I want this series to just be little wrestling history lessons from now on. I'd never heard of Toots Mondt or El Santo before these videos, and I think it's brilliant that you're exposing wrestling legends of old to younger fans.
hes the biggest face of all of time simple fact
Fun fact, he started as a rudo (heel) , the saint thing was kind of ironic.
That's right he was a "Rudo" didn't turn "técnico" until the comic was released
We need a Superman vs. El Santo comic series
Crazy Fact: back in 1998, WWF had a TV program called "Super Astros", which was exclusively aired in México. And "El Hijo Del Santo" (Son of El Santo) wrestled a few times, but the crowd didn't like him as much as other WWF Superstars, since Superastros was a Pre-show for Raw. Seriously, you need to watch those matches. Hijo del Santo is just as espectacular as his father in the ring.
thank you wc for this piece. my grandma and my friends grandmas where fans.
One of the best videos you guys have put out there for ages, this is why Blampied is a cut above the rest.
Best. Pipebomb. Ever. This one was amazing
great pipebomb , the best I have ever seen in whatculture wrestling
I love how my dad would speak of El Santo and I'd talk about Eddie
Bonds us in many ways
This is probably one of most pure and beautiful documentaries about a masked wrestler I've ever seen. What's more innocent than a costumed wrestler beating up a were wolf.
Thank you for this. I hate how the wwe has ignored El Santo.
Plumpy, I just want to thank you for this video. Hopefully this will bring more audience to the wonderful world of lucha libre! It's great to see you acknowledge the importance of el Santo and I would really love to see more lucha on your channel...
Man this came when I thought about Santos movies,nice.Those translations are on point.
Thanks so much for this. I love El Santo, and my Mexican Wife can confirm, EVERYONE south of the border knows who he is. He was bigger than Hogan, bigger than Cena. He was the Bog Dog.
wow, thank you for doing this video. in mexico before you know what lucha libre is you already know about El Santo (:
Showing love to El Santo. Orale. Thanks plumpy oh & also for showing love to chespirito❤. Thanks Whatculture for that appreciation towards Mexico's influence and what we represent in the world of wrestling.
I love you WhatCulture !!!! Thanks for giving awareness to this character.
As a Mexican wrestling fan sometimes is really hard to explain to people how big El Santo is... from the bottom of my heart WhatCulture, thank you for this.
I greatly enjoy these Historical videos. More of these please
thank you whatculture for bring in my culture long live El Santo
Plumpy knows Chespirito?
Alex Delgado who doesn't know chespirito
If he had mentioned Cantinflas too it would have been crazy awesome haha
Chespirito is international, man.
I wonder if he knows about the origin of his name
I mean, they just googled "Famous Mexicans"
As a Mexican, thank you so much for this. I know my culture can be a little too much sometimes haha but Im proud of it and I think is very special.
I needed this today thank you Adam my heart is full again
Santo's impact on the world of wrestling can never be understated. He is an icon of the industry and just pop culture in general.
nice tribute, showing how impactful was this man to mexican culture, not just wrestling. he trully was, and i dare to say IS, THE icon.
