[1989-03-17-EMLL] Emilio Charles Jr & Pirata Morgan & Pierroth Jr vs Atlantis & Blue Demon Jr & Huracan Ramirez II

[GOTNW]

This was a blast, opening matwork ruled, Morgan and Charles were commanding in control, doing all sorts of awesome cut offs, punching people, slamming their heads on the apron, attacking them from behind etc. but were also great at feeding the tecnicos, Atlantis and HRII had some beautiful highspots and the sequences where they would clean house were fluid and beautiful. Blue Demon Jr. was almost a non factor, Pierroth Jr. was a solid third string rudo that contributed some nice shots. Pirata Morgan's stooging here was something else-he was taking gigantic bumps and it ruled. ****

My usual comment on Lucha matches from the 80s is not being happy at the first two falls being so brief, so I finally saw something different here. This started with good matwork and the rudos trying to cut off the tecnicos at all times, even though Charles was somewhat more a sportsman, compared to Morgan. Atlantis was easily the best tecnico in here, taking care of the high spots and leading the selling for his trio. While not a masterpiece, this was refreshing from the usual formula.
