For any fans of the works of El Santo, Blue Demon, or any of the other wrestlers that moved into the world of cinema, there is a new book coming out that you just may want to know about. It’s called Luchadores vs Everything, where you’ll get to hear the story of how one family brought wrestlers, monsters, and mayhem to the silver screen! Join film activist and member of the famed cinematic Calderón and García Besné families, Viviana García Besné and her friends dive into the history of her family’s films of the beloved genre.
The book will be over 300 pages and filled with never-before-told stories, and never-before-seen materials like original shooting script pages, casting headshots, call sheets, private letters, contracts, and even lawsuits (!), and so much more. The book has been designed by Jeffrey Everett of Rockets are Red, with plenty of other guest artists, along with film expert David Wilt, who has interviews with many actors from the golden age of the films.
The Kickstarter starts on Feb. 6, 2026. Head over to the official website by clicking HERE and then sign up for updates about the project. Then make sure you pitch in to make this incredible sounding book become a reality.
