Atlantis has this move where he does a roll-up but turns it into a submission that I REALLY like. The first time, it looks great, but the second time, he doesn't get it in right.
Satanico plays the Rudo in this match very well with an array of dirty moves such as ripping the mask of Atlantis, ring escapes, and the like. Atlantis bleeds like CRAZY at a certain point, and then El Satanico does, too!
This is a well-done Tecnico vs. Rudo bout, especially for the 1980s. It might not be as appealing to an audience today with its frequent rest spots, but I enjoyed it! It very much is what I would describe as "classic lucha." ⭐️⭐️⭐️
