Dance On Fire With Pirata Morgan, Babe, The Flames Ain't Gonna Stop

Pirata Morgan, Octagon, & Ringo Mendoza vs. Fuerza Guerrera, Satanico, & Kung Fu EMLL 3/31/1991 - GREAT

More technico Pirata. This time, they drop Dandy and MS-1 for Ringo Mendoza and Kung Fu, but they totally make up for it by dropping Vampiro for Satanico as well. Pirata himself is kinda shoved into the background for much of this, but at least he is surrounded by some awesome professional wrestling. This is one of the funner Octagon performances I've seen. He is paired off against all three rudos, and is pretty great against each without feeling like he's being carried as much as he usually is in his better matches. I cracked a smile at his brief martial arts stand-off with Kung Fu before Satanico blindsided him. Kung Fu is a guy who can do a lot of cool stuff, but often gets too shticky for his own good. Here, he was very back-to-basics, with much of the first fall being built around him choking out Ringo with a rope, including a spot where he is choking him out on the ground, and Fuerza sits on top of them to make it harder for the ref to see what's happening. Second fall has a great trio of exchanges, with Ringo getting his revenge by choking Kung Fu with his own rope, Pirata getting his one real spotlight moment of the match in a fun brawl with Satanico, and a typically cool Octagon/Fuerza exchange with some slick Octagon armdrags and Fuerza hamming it up with his classic rudo routine. The real highlight is in the third fall, with an sweet Octagon/Satanico exchange that opens with Satanico flipping him off and punching him out. Obviously could've done with more Pirata, but this was still quality stuff.
