[1989-09-22-EMLL] El Satanico & Atlantis vs MS-1 & Tierra (Double Mask vs Hair)

[Microstatistics]

Excellent apeustas brawl. Difficult to execute that type of match in a tag setting but they made it work superbly. Satanico's selling/body language after the first fall beatdown is about as good as wrestling gets. Violence, intensity and drama. ****1/4

Satánico & Atlantis vs MS-1 & Tierra Viento y Fuego (Hair & Mask vs Hair & Mask ) 9/22/89 EMLL

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.
