Paco Alonso is the grandson of Salvador Lutteroth, who we would argue is one of the most important men in Mexican wrestling.  Alonso began working for EMLL in 1975, and by 1987 he took over the promotion.  Now named CMLL, Alonso oversaw a promotion that has seen over 80 million people cross through a turnstile and while he does keep a hands-off approach and gives few interviews about his role, this level of success took place under his watch, and any wrestling pundit should never ignore that.

One of the earlier high flyers of Lucha Libre, Lizmark signed with EMLL in 1978, and he would become a singles star there winning multiple titles.  He became the second wrestler (Gory Guerrero being the first) to hold all three NWA World Titles in the different weight classes (Welterweight, Middleweight and Light Heavyweight).  Like many wrestlers, Lizmark would jump to Antonio Pena’s AAA promotion where he would win the Light Heavyweight Title and feud with La Parka and put him on the map.  Lizmark’s son would wrestle in WCW as Lizmark Jr.

While there have been many looks in wrestling that come and go in the wacky world of Professional Wrestling the pretty boy bodybuilder will never go out.  The one who was a precursor to a lot of them was Gene Stanlee who looked like he walked straight out of central casting and onto a wrestling television set.  Stanlee was not a champion often, but he was a draw and was influential in the way that wrestlers would look in the future.  Stanlee’s bouts with Antonio Rocca in New York City also is credited with helping revive the territory.

El Satanico was a significant star in EMLL/CMLL for over two decades and was the leader of a heel group called Los Infernales that would help put trios wrestling in the forefront in his promotion.  He won a myriad of singles and tag titles but what Sataico will be best remembered for (and should be) is that he is one of the best trainers of Mexican Lucha Libre and the titles and accomplishments of his students are astronomical.
