Campeonato Mundial Peso Medio de NWA:
Emilio Charles Jr. vs. Atlantis ©
Emilio and
Atlantis had quite a rivalry back then, but I never watched any of it. I don’t
even think more than two mano a manos exist on the almighty internet. Obviously
this is one of them. There’s a whole bunch of trios, though, and I should hop
on those soon (I hope). This match was good, really good considering the time
it got. There’s a clear cut story here – Emilio can barely keep up with the crazy
fast and too spirited Atlantis, hence Emilio getting annoyed and embarrassed,
but he still manages to take primera by cutting off Atlanits, which gives him
enough confidence to do a big dive in segunda, but that was about it, because
he lost that fall, and then again the SUPER short tercera via Atlantida. I can
totally see some people getting upset with Atlantis beating other luchadors so
quickly in decisive falls via Atlantida, but it really puts over the move as a
killshot weapon, and that dividend is paying off to this day. That’s how you
protect and invest time in your character. Very good match.
***3/4
