El Hijo del Santo is one of the sons of El Santo the most famous luchador in the history of lucha libre. He is the only son to follow in his father's steps as a lucha and film star.
El Hijo Del Santo's professional lucha debut was under the name and mask of Korak and without his father's consent. El Santo actually wanted to have one of his sons carry on his legacy for the years to come, but they would have to study university first, and when they had a degree, they could start wrestling.
Ever since the day of his debut in the silver mask, El Hijo Del Santo has had a really hard task to accomplish - he had to show that he deserved wearing that mask and that he wasn't just a son of Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta trying to make easy money out of his father's legacy.
During the years he has been wrestling he has had countless excellent matches, and if we are taking longevity, drawing power and match quality into account, then he is the most important wrestler Mexico has had in the last twenty years.
He is featured on comic books and films, and his image has recently appeared on Mexican postal stamps. |
