[2005-10-14-CMLL] Atlantis vs Mistico

[ohtani's jacket]

This was better than I thought it would be. I thought a rudo Atlantis might be exposed a bit in a singles match, but he did a good job of modifying his offense. He won't gonna give the top rudos a run for their money, but he's not embarrassing himself either. Mistico was having an off night. There was a large contingent of rudo fans booing him. I don't know if that affected him or not. Some of the blown spots were bad. There was moonsault spot where he was meant to land behind Atlantis, but he flew sideways and bounced chest first off the ropes.  Despite the fact that Mistico was rattled, I still enjoyed the match. The finish was shit as Mistico pulled Atlantis' mask off for a cheap victory (I hate it when tecnicos resort to those sort of tactics). The Mistico fans were pumped up about it and drowned out the boos. It felt like a bit of an overreaction on their part but added to the spectacle. Dave gave this 4 stars, which is bizarre. I guess the crowd heat swayed him.
