El Santo Retirement tag (UWA - 9/12/1982)
El Santo & El Solitario & Gory Guerrero & Huracán Ramírez vs Negro Navarro & El Signo & Texano & Perro Aguayo

This is the last match of the biggest star in lucha history ( El Santo), the crowd is as hot as any crowd has ever been, it’s the greatest demonstration of his legacy, we don’t have as much footage as we would have liked but there’s a few minutes of some matches in black & white, his matches against Espanto and Black Shadow are canon lucha that’s talked about a lot in the spanish speaking community, lucha libre is made of myths and there’s no myth as big as El Santo, everybody has heard about La Pareja Atómica the tag team formed by Gory Guerrero and El Santo, considered the biggest draw a tag team has ever been even more than the Crush Gals and it showed, the crowd genuinely cares about the match, a contest that turned out to be an all out brawl, it’s amazing that an almost 65 year old Santo said goodbye to lucha libre with that kind of match, we are accustomed to watch Black Terry wrestle matches way more violent than this one at that age but he’s just built different, one of the highlights of the match in my opinion is 37 year old Perro Aguayo bloodied creating chaos everywhere he went. El Santo’s partners aren’t exactly in their prime either, they are just as old as Santo, the age of the competitors wasn’t an issue for the crowd, they were cheering loudly during the whole affair, they knew how important this moment was and that’s something to appreciate, if they didn’t show any interest the match would have been just a DUD but it wasn’t, the match flies by, it’s very entertaining and a match everyone should check out doesn’t matter if you don’t like lucha this match transcends lucha, it’s one of wrestling’s greatest legends last match, I think that’s special and every wrestling fan has to witness it.
