Five superstars in Pro-wrestling who never broke kayfabe

2. El Santo’s masked life

El Santo

El Santo is Mexico’s biggest icon, and the greatest legend to perform in the country. He was so popular that there were some movies and cartoons made on El Santo, and people used to love him for that. He was the country’s biggest pop culture icon, and his appeal and popularity transcended wrestling. This led to Rodolfo being El Santo throughout his life, wearing his mask for 42 years!

You heard that right! El Santo refused to take his mask off for more than 40 years, and would even eat at his place with his mask on. If there was a third person around, he refused to reveal his true identity, and when he passed away, he was buried with his mask on!
