The Resume

    (September 23, 1917-February 5, 1984)
    Birth name is Rodolfo Guzman
    Former NWA Welterweight Champion, NWA Middleweight Champion, National Tag Team Champion and various lightweight titles
    Wrestled for the NWA and several Mexican promotions

Why he might be annoying:

    He's one of many Mexican wrestlers to wear a mask.
    Since his mask was fairly plain, it was hard to tell which one he was.
    He always wore his mask in public and even had masks designed for special tasks, like eating. He was even buried wearing it.
    His original name under a mask was Murcielago II, which means 'The Bat' in English. The name was dropped because there was already a wrestler who called himself The Bat.
    He starred in a number of campy Mexican horror films where he would play a crime fighting super hero fighting aliens and zombies. The films are forgettable and awful.
    In his films, El Santo, the super hero's secret identity was El Santo the wrestler.
    Some of his film titles include 'Santo vs. the Vampire Women,' 'Santo in the Wax Museum' and 'Mummies of Guanauato.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    Many claim him to be the greatest and most beloved Mexican wrestler of all-time.
    He wrestled for over 40 years.
    Many of the high flying moves done today that are called 'innovative' were actually started by El Santo 40 years ago.
    His character was made into a comic book that went on to become a million-dollar seller in Mexico.
    He's in the Wrestling-Observer Hall of Fame.
    In Mexico, the anniversary of his death is like a holiday as celebrations, memorials and wrestling events in his name occur.
    The mausoleum in which his body was placed in constantly gets visitors.
