[1989-12-01-CMLL] Emilio Charles Jr. vs El Dandy

[soup23]

This was possibly the first match that made me fall in love with El Dandy. I watched their apuestas match first and it was heated and a MOTYC but I also had recently watched MS-1 vs Chicano for the 1st time so I thought the barometer of having a super apuestas was lower. This match really shows the range of Dandy and is worked in classic lucha title match style. One thing that Charles adds is a bit of ruggedness to the ground work. The action is part dazzling, part logical and extremely effective in showing a style of wrestling mastered by Dandy. **** (8.1)

What a great pace this one had. Every fall was riveting, everything built logically, and the work was beautiful. And hard hitting and jaw dropping at times. El Dandy's struggle to reach the ropes on the submissions at the end made for a great visual to leave a lasting impression on an already high end match.

This had a very good presentation and approach, it looked like a classic title match and they focused a lot on trying to outwrestling each other. The end of the first caida was actually quite flat, but this picked up later and Dandy was very effective when selling his leg. Charles looked strong and only outsmarted at times thanks to Dandy resorting to the help of the ropes. Good finish and this was a very refreshing lucha match with a classic approach.
