Anyone can e-mail El Santo at the …Official El Santo website (in Spanish), download wallpapers, visit the photo gallery, read the online comic. Just click on the links (little blue buttons) at the top of the page. The ones on the bottom don’t work, we’ve checked. The above poster is from his upcoming film Infraterrestre.
Or write to Blue Demon at his official Blue Demon website (also in Spanish) – which is where I found this very cool image.
CURRENTLY WATCHING…
Eddie recently received this lucha video from Wrestleholics.com (best place to order taped matches). It features the return of one of the best – Ultimo Dragon; and a hilarious spot where Los Guapos are taught how to dance for their ring entrance.
There is also a brilliant tag team match between some Japanese female luchadoras. One wears a patchwork-tasselly-clown-type outfit and wrestles under the name of Commando Borshoi… I think that was Commando Borshoi… need to brush up on my Spanish. …And that damn midget-in-a-blue-ape-costume was also around for a couple of bouts!
(Link: Japanese masked women wrestlers - a mini-gallery). Japanese masked wrestlers are great to watch – they’re not as comical and camp as the Mexicans, but are often more technically-accomplished and they get so worked-up in the ring!
On a side note, we have also been taping Man From UNCLE telemovies from TCM. Lots of cheesy fun. The one this week “The Karate Killers” was totally unconvincing – a scientist discovers how to change sea-water to gold, (yes! sea-water!) and everyone wants the formula, of course.
