ohtani's jacket Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 This was a very good match that was overshadowed by a serious neck injury on a botched Olimpico dive. Atlantis and Panther, the two legends and former rivals, bucked recent trends in CMLL by attempting to produce meaningful falls and Panther insured that there was at least some matwork in the title match. The botched spot occurred early on in the tercera caida when Olimpico tried to do a running tope near the ringpost. He mistimed grabbing the top rope with his right hand, and instead of Atlantis catching him, he fell straight on his head. Babe Richard and the ringside doctor immediately ran to his aid. Galavision replayed the accident several times. Olimpico would be out for around five months, but it could have been worse. I felt bad for the guy. He was finally in the mix but once again he couldn't catch a break. They either improvised a finish or took things home early, but obviously the Olimpico injury put a dampner on things.
