[1980-08-29-Houston Wrestling] Tony Atlas vs Gran Marcus

[shoe]

On paper I thought this was going to be a train wreck. Atlas is an athletic guy who looks like a million bucks. Yet usually needs a ring general to bring him up a level. I though with working with a luchdor might mean train wreck city.

 

I was pleasently surprised. They told a pretty good story with Marcus being really focused on the back. Atlas selling it, but lacking the gravitas that the great sellers give you. I also enjoyed Marcus using the loaded mask. I've got to give Marcus a lot of credit by keeping the story simple and easy to follow. I'm a story telling guy so this match checked that box. 2 3/4*
