On the eve (of the eve, actually) of Santo’s 88th birthday, El Hijo Del Santo talked to Ovaciones.
Hijo explained the GP Tournament is in tribute to the man, while the Leyenda de Plata tournament (still happening – scheduled for October) is a tribute to the mask.
Hijo and associates got a design and a minature of the Santo statue they’re building, and they’re hoping to have it up by next year.
There’s some hype towrrds the FCW show in LA (Great Western Forum) this Saturday. Santo teams up wil Mil Mascaras, Blue Demon and Tinieblas to take on Scorpio Jr., Dr. Wagner Jr., Rey Bucanero and Ultimo Guerrero.
Hijo stands with Blue Demon Jr in cracking down on unauthorized masks and other items. He’s opening his own store, which will have Santo items. Hijo’s also working on a propsal for a vampire movie, to help bring back that Mexican film genre, as well as his ongoing comic book.
