Blue Demon
Like comedy and the Christian God, there is the holy trinity to Lucha Libre, the next person on this list – Blue Demon. Starting later than most listed here (at age 22), Blue Demon drew more money and more cheers than anyone else. He started as a tag team heel but then switched to become so popular, everybody started stealing the idea (including a certain Dusty Rhodes). He never unmasked, even in his films. He took his character so seriously he was even buried in his mask. THAT is dedication!
