Posted July 12, 201015 yr comment_5453035 Atlantis & Hijo del Santo vs. Fuerza Guerrera & Lobo Rubio (11/25/83) This is a special match as it was Santo's debut at Arena Mexico as he was in his rookie year with Atlantis also in his rookie year as well and you could tell that these guys were going to be megastars as they had "it" as rookies. It also helped to have guys like Fuerza & Lobo as the opponents as they were great at making these guys look good especially on the mat as they were at the right place at the right time. Everyone was so slick here working in and out of holds at a rapid pace that it just looked so easy. Santo was just ridiculous here with his athletic ability throwing some of the best blind armdrags I've ever seen. After losing the first fall, the rudos took control in the second fall with the tecnicos taking some big bumps especially Santo who was tossed to the floor by Rubio knees first which looked like it hurt like hell. The tecnicos would make a comeback though starting a hot stretch run that featured some good counter wrestling and spectacular dives to the floor that would give the tecnicos the win since the rudos got counted out. This was great stuff and like I said a special match that is no doubt a nomination.

Santo's armdrags were amazing and Atlantis was totally at his level of breathtaking. Fuerza and Rubio were at their best as well and it really was about as perfect as this kind of match can be done.
