Now that the sheer shock has passed, I think that El Santo’s song might not be the best song for here.
Look at this one instead. A very popular song indeed. With a video that seems made ex professo for Sark vs Cherek.
Notice how the song is not about how cool / powerful / whatever the luchador is, but about how much he is loved.
Notice how in the video the luchador spends his time training his strength and his “win the public” poses, while his “evil” rival trains only how to cause pain.
Notice how in the video the luchador’s entry in the ring is an heroic low shot of how he enters FOR HIS FOLLOWERS (followed by a very rare case of an HEROIC-LOOKING HIGH SHOT of how he “rules” his fans), while his rival enters literally chest-banging.
And notice how the luchador finds the inspiration to win on his follower’s devotion, not on his own ego.
TL;DR:
WORMIUS, IF YOU DON’T HAVE DECIDED YET ON A FINISHER FOR SARK, IT TOTALLY MUST BE “LA MISTICA”
Wormius, if you manage to draw Místico’s finisher, “La mística” (a.k.a. “helicopter” a.k.a. “Tornado Lever”, a.k.a. “Tilt-a-whirl headscissors single arm transitioning into fujiwara armbar”), we will give you a standing ovation.
Not quite, but certainly “inspired with”. About 90% of técnicos (“good guy” luchadores, like WWF “faces”) choose variations of a white mask in Santo’s homage.
also, and sorry for double post, brambling is indeed a bird. So are finchs, tits, cocks (even cock-of-the-rocks), longclaws, rollers, tyrants, coots, kestrels, and many other things we’ve had around here. You can say that many a name in this comic includes a joke that is…
Not to mention, Santo was IRL a folk hero (and his lucha persona appeared as actual superhero in too many movies to count).
Donning a white mask is quite the responsability
not gonna lie, I’d love to see IRL politicians doing a mascara vs mascara bet bout, electoral style: “the loser must remove his electoral agenda and never use the same one again”.
They would keep having new agendas, but at least there would be more variety.
¡Por el honor de la lucha! ¡Dale duro!
This starts playing on the background…

Seems appropriate!

Revenge time !
Time to rock out with the cock out…

Rip that scale from his forehead Sarky boy, and shove it so far up his arse he can taste it!
indeed, mascara vs cabellera here
El-Santo mask?
By the way, why bunny0girls are called “bramblings”. I always thought that brambling is a bird

…flying over our heads
I’ll see myself out
Well spotted! El-Santo was Sark’s favourite wrestling champ in his grayside world life – remember when he naked wrestled with Bree? Nice touch.
Not to mention, Santo was IRL a folk hero (and his lucha persona appeared as actual superhero in too many movies to count).
Donning a white mask is quite the responsability
I tried to think of a name that would fit a race of bunny-like, but not quite bunny folk. Brambling seemed like a good fit for them.
It works for me.
…still a better system than the Electoral College!

Sounds reasonable to me!
Thought you meant that the loser would have to go without makeup on national TV for a year 😛
Nah, thar would be their version of cabellera vs cabellera – much lesser stakes
You know if this became a thing, we’d have younger, beefier politicians. “Vote for me, I can bench press 225 pounds!”
