[1951-03-30-Kohler Chicago] Lou Thesz vs Mighty Atlas

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Nothing is new under the sun. See: The 3rd fall of this match.

 

As for the rest, kinda interesting they go to all 3 falls within about 25 minutes. But maybe they couldn't really add 10-15 minutes more of action here for whichever reason. Would be interesting potentially useless trivia to know how long the Thesz matches usually went back then.

I really like Thesz's facial expressions when selling and the constant movement of his legs when he is in a hold. Great to see that ending in a 50's match.
