Hispanic Heritage Month:

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month we recognize the accomplishments of Rodolfo Guzmán Huerta who began his professional wrestling career in the early 1930’s, at 16 years old. He used different names, including El Demonio Negro, El Hombre Rojo, and El Murcielago. In 1942, his manager organized a group that dressed in silver, and Huerta chose the name El Santo. He was called this, or often just Santo, for the rest of his career.

In those times, most wrestlers had a “good” or “bad” persona. At the beginner, Huerta fought as a “rudo” (bad) wrestler. He later switched to being “técnico” (good) wrestler.

As recorded in La Jornada, Huerta explained the change this way:

“When I decided to mask myself I also thought about changing my style: to become a soulless tough guy. Then I wanted to use the name Angel, but finally I decided on El Santo…. I would fight dirty and people would applaud; sometimes I would fight clean and the ovation was big.
