381. Cavernario Galindo

If you were to go by titles, there would not be much of a Hall of Fame case for Cavernario Galindo, as he only captured one major title (Mexican National Light Heavyweight), but when you were a gimmick like Galindo you didn’t need them.

Galindo was not a handsome man, as he had a face full of scars and a mean looking demeanor.  Adopting a brawling style, promoter extraordinaire, Salvador Lutteroth, gave him a caveman gimmick, and the style allowed Galindo to wrestle for decades.  Galindo embraced the nature of a troglodyte, biting, scratching and terrorizing fans, who thought that he might eat them for dinner

Galindo’s feud with Gory Guerrero became legendary, and he was always a draw.  He never was a name in the United States, but he didn’t have to be.
