Maybe the best Bucaneros showcase of them all. You could argue that this is by the numbers, at least in the sense that they play EVERY ONE OF THE NUMBERS, but I thought it was more than that as well. For one, that primera was an amazing rudo mugging. The Bucaneros were relentless and there aren't many better at swarming a tecnico and literally putting the boots to them. The announcer hadn't even gotten five words out his mouth and Atlantis was on the floor, Ringo slumped in the corner and Azteca curling up as six boots were raining down upon him. When the tecnico comeback happens they kick it all the way into highlight reel overdrive and it's sort of incredible how clean everything comes off. I don't think there was a single miss and they ran through EVERYTHING. This was Wilt going for 42 on 100% shooting. Way too many double- and triple-team sequences to mention, some of them comedy, some of them ending with a ridiculous bump, all of them great. My favourite might've been Ringo spin kicking the Bucaneros in the guts and then all three of them in unison frantically appealing for the DQ as if they'd been fouled. At one point Pirata Morgan does his slide along the canvas out the ring, but before he lands on the floor his partners manage to catch him, Morgan's feet just hooking the bottom rope, so Atlantis casually kicks the rope and he ends up falling to the floor anyway. Atlantis in 1988 is approaching Rey Jr in 1993 levels of spectacular, first with the gorgeous moonsault out the corner and then with the absolutely breathtaking tope right at the death. It was easily one of the best dives I've ever seen. The video cuts off right as Pirata Morgan punches Ringo Mendoza in the willy, but I would assume it led to a DQ anyway considering how brazen and in full view of the refs it was. The perfect sort of trios match to show to people trying to get into lucha trios matches.
