This is from the Animation World Magazine newsletter. It's a part of Cartoon Networks next season line-up of new shows:
SANTO (working title): With comicbook-style heroes, villains and
storylines, the new series is an action-packed adventure based on the legend of the real-life iconic wrestling hero, Santo, El Enmascarado de Plata (the silver masked man). Santo is one of the world's most respected and popular Mexican luchadores (wrestlers). The legendary Mexican wrestler, El Hijo del Santo (Son of Santo), will work with creator and exec producer Carlo Olivares Paganoni to develop the action/fantasy series set in Mexico City. Along with inheriting the silver mask, the ultimate sign of purity and goodness, a brave and young Santo must also learn how to manage a vast array of mystical powers with the guidance of Cóatl, an ancient feathered serpent. Santo uses his new powers to defend justice inside and outside the wrestling ring, as well as a slew of enemies ranging from everyday criminals to genetically enhanced mystical villains.
