The Complete and Accurate Pirata Morgan

Pirates. They're everywhere. A decade out from the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and our society is still lousy with them. They made a comeback in the media. They made a comeback in our humorous dialects. They even made a comeback in actual piracy. But wrestling? Wrestling doesn't need a piracy comeback. It still reels from the reign of terror of the most foul-tempered, bloodthirsty maniac ever to don an eyepatch - to cover up a legit empty socket, in fact - and sail the high seas looking for gold, ale, and wenches...a journey that continues to this very day.

Well, it should be reeling, anyway. Pirata Morgan is an awesome, awesome wrestler, and one of my all-time favorites. Lucha brawling, at it's best, is probably my personal favorite style of wrestling, and Morgan is the God-Emperor of lucha brawlers. I mean, what says professional wrestling quite like a man coming to the in an eyepatch and a Captain Crunch hat, punching you in the face until you bleed like a faucet, then sucking it up and spitting it in the air like Muta's mist? Nothing, that's what. Morgan is an amazing wrestler with an incredible working knowledge of what makes wrestling great, and a long career in places that have historically lacked available footage or have otherwise gone under people's radar, which means he's a pretty ideal candidate for a Complete and Accurate. And that's exactly what I intend to do. As with the others, the matches will all be rated as EPIC, GREAT, FUN, or SKIPPABLE, and compiled here. Now, set sail!

This should be an awesome project. '00s Pirata is a real blind spot for me so I'm looking forward to seeing what you dig up.
