Fuerza Guerrera, Emilio Charles Jr. & Blue Panther v El Faraon, Super Astro & Atlantis (EMLL, 8/19/89)
Look at that rudo unit. You know that on any given day there's going to be some magic from all three and there were several moments per person here where I thought "that guy might've been the best wrestler in the world." The first caida is an all-time amazing rudo show; stooging, bumping, timing, shithousing the lot. Obviously the tecnicos are amazing playing off them. The Panther/Astro exchange to begin was sensational and as soon as Emilio bounced in to throw a cheapshot the tecnicos chased him up the ramp. They were ready to throttle him and Emilio was almost taken aback by the response, maybe feeling sorry for himself given his freshly shaved head from his recent apuestas loss. All three tecnicos were vocal about wanting him in the ring but Atlantis was loudest. When Fuerza jumps in and throws a kick shortly afterwards the tecnico response is far less vehement and there was almost perplexity as Emilio saw it. "Why am I a prick and he isn't?" Maybe with Fuerza you just expect it more. There was a moment where Fuerza gave Emilio a little pat on the head and Emilio turned to him with obvious irritation, but Fuerza was very Fuerza about it and couldn't see why Emilio might've been annoyed. Atlantis slaps Fuerza off the apron and Fuerza's pirouette before falling off was beyond words. Every 10 seconds the rudos were doing something great, basically. Super Astro was a magician in this and that little fella running people in circles will never get old. His springboard headbutt in the primera was incredible and then he went and topped it at the end, doing the apron-to-floor version, cracking Panther in the face with the latter getting hurled into the seats. He even did a stretcher job, getting carted out as Fuerza and Emilio were left staring at the ceiling. This was honestly one of the most fun trios matches I've ever seen.
