Almost everything about almost everyone

I don't know much about that part of wrestling, but could he possibly be listed under another name?
Nah, he's just not there. Foreign wrestlers, and especially Luchadores, are really underrepresented.

To put it in perspective, El Santo was not only the most famous Luchador of all time, but he was also a movie star in Mexico and considered a national hero. He is to Mexico somewhat like what Muhammed Ali is to the US (since there are no wrestlers here who really compare. Hogan would be closest, but Ali's closer.)In their defense, information on Lucha pre-1990 is difficult to come by, and title histories - which they seem to be very thorough about - are probably nearly impossible.

Like I said though, I really like the idea of an Internet Wrestling Database of sorts, and think they're off to a nice start.

EDIT: Actually, I just noticed the links at the top of their page. The page on Mexican Wreslers does have him listed under Legends, he just doesn't have a bio/history/gallery page.
