La lucha libre is a popular spectator sport in Mexico

La lucha libre is a popular spectator sport in Mexico. One of the most famous wrestlers was El Santo, who became a folk hero and a symbol of justice for the common man through his appearances in comic books and movies. The anniversary of his death in 1984 is still commemorated by pilgrimages from all over Mexico to his mausoleum in Mexico City. Can you name a personality in the U.S. with a similar following since his or her death? If you were famous, what would you be known for? What would you want people to remember you for?
