Paco Alonso is the grandson of Salvador Lutteroth, who we would argue is one of the most important men in Mexican wrestling.  Alonso began working for EMLL in 1975, and by 1987 he took over the promotion.  Now named CMLL, Alonso oversaw a promotion that has seen over 80 million people cross through a turnstile and while he does keep a hands-off approach and gives few interviews about his role, this level of success took place under his watch, and any wrestling pundit should never ignore that.
