[1940-03-01-San Bernardino, CA] Nick Lutze & Tiny Roebuck vs Vincent Lopez & El Pulpo
fxnj posted a topic in 1940-1947
Went with this date after finding a newspaper clipping advertising this match presumably for later that night. Anyway, here's a rare early tag from before they even had tags and it was just a tornado match. Watching this, it's not hard to see why they stopped working team matches this way regularly. The deal with having 4 guys in the ring all the time just going back and forth pretty much prevents any heat from building and it just feels like a clusterfuck as a result. Too bad, since the last few minutes where it's just 1 guy in the ring desperately trying to fight off 2 people seems like it would be pretty compelling on a match with a better build. Edit: Just noticed I fucked up the title by accident. Would be nice to get it changed to "Nick Lutze & Tiny Roebuck vs. Vincent Lopez & El Pulpo (3/1/1940)"- 1 reply

You know it's an old school match when facelocks are treated as near falls and body slams as a finish. I dug the dueling facelocks stuff in the first half of this, but it really picks up when Nagurski starts pulling out the football tackles and Lopez takes some hard bumps. Those body slams also looked pretty brutal with little to no give from the mat. Some nice drama with Lopez desperately desperately trying to stay in the match but getting overwhelmed. Good job putting over Nagurski overall.
