Satanico & Atlantis vs MS-1 & Tierra Viento y Fuego (Hair & Mask vs Hair & Mask ) 9/22/89 EMLL
Awesome match that I want to look at compared to some of the 2nd tier brawls. I don't think it is on the level of something like Satanico/Dandy or Hansen/Funk, but it is a truly great match that feels like it could be a worthy contender for the back half of a ballot. Tierra Viento y Fuego pretty outclassed, but the other 3 are 3 of the best wrestlers ever, so you can't really fault him and you still get a classic bloody brawl. This rules because it is all about MS-1 going up against his long time partner Satanico and wanting to prove that's he's the best. This is so great.

This is pretty damn good. The technicos are the stars here with Satanico doing a great job getting my sympathy and Atlantis bringing athleticism and fire. There's basically no offense from our heroes for a really long time from the opening bell but that just made me want to see a comeback more. The big time delay between the two pins in the final fall was a bit weird, the first pin feels like the big climax and anything after that is killing time as the result felt to me like a foregone conclusion.

Excellent match. Satanico's selling/body language after the first fall beatdown is about as good as it gets. Violence, intensity and drama.

Classic lucha apuestas brawl with Satanico showing off his usual great body language. First two falls are alright with plenty of shots thrown. Really gets going, though, for the 3rd fall after the blood starts flowing.

second. really as most lucha brawls an amazing brawl to their credit too they make the tag team aspetatus situation work. great body language and selling by satanico as usual. your usual great lucha punches strikes urgency intensty and awesome rough execution. ms1 nails rudo character work mixed with intense brawling perfectly.

I was really impressed with both Atlantis and Satanico here. Atlantis’s selling in the early going was great and I loved how he kind of meekly flopped out of the ring. Satanico showed great attention to detail that raises this to a high level. The show great fire on the comeback and there are some twists and turns in the third fall that add to the drama.

What a match, three of the best mexican wrestlers ever face each other, Tierra, Viento y Fuego is just one of the dumbest names in wrestling history, he’s outmatched by every other wrestler in that ring, I just love the dynamic of this particular match Satánico is an underrated babyface, he’s truly a legend, if you’ve been reading my lucha reviews you may be aware of it already, when I wrote about 1984 his name was unavoidable, at that time he was a heel and the leader of the legendary trio Los Infernales, MS-1 was his partner at that time but they eventually split up, that’s why this feud came to be, Satánico turned face and now he’s teaming up with Atlantis, you may remember the match between them of 1984 if not it’s here, a very young Atlantis faced off against prime Satánico, a lucha classic I recommend but that was 5 years ago now they have a common enemy MS-1 and Tierra, Viento y Fuego, both the masks and the hair are at risk in this match because it’s the 56th anniversary of EMLL, the main event deserved its spot in the card, it was great despite of Tierra, Viento y Fuego having no business being there, he just isn’t nearly as good as the other three but to be honest those three are lucha gods so I can’t blame him, it’s extraordinarily difficult to be at that level, anyway the match started with a pretty cool control segment by the heel team that ended when they eventually won the fall, the second fall was another story entirely, Sátanico and Atlantis rallied back and got the fall but not without suffering, Sátanico was almost submitted by MS-1, the third and final fall was completely dominated by the heels but Sátanico came clutch with a package for the win.
This is not wrestling related but I just wish Pecco Bagnaia a great recovery after what happened in Montmeló.
