Emilio Charles Jr to retire

[Torgaman]

Emilio Charles Jr has announced that he is calling it quits.This mainstay of the CMLL promotion talked to Televisa about his career and his rivalry with Atlantis in the ring,and his friendship with Atlantis out of the ring.He joked about how people would tell him "Why don't you just kill Atlantis already?!?!" and he would answer "Because then who would I wrestle against?!?!".Charles was perhaps one of the big three heels in CMLL in the early to mid nineties,though his career began to flounder in recent years,getting stuck in a go nowhere trios team called Los Talibanes with Bestia Salvaje and Scorpio Jr.Perhaps the biggest regret most lucha fans will have is that Charle's rivalry with Atlantis never culminated in a mask vs hair match.

I respect the knowledge of Lucha Libre that you impart. You should post at Kayfabe Memories. Many folks want to learn more about Lucha and they are respectful there. I wouldn't suggest say Wrestling Classics because most folks there look down on Lucha as flip flip tumbling which it isn't. Me, I watch wrestling from all over the World and if it is good you don't have to understand the commentary, the action tells the story. I am pretty well versed on Lucha, but your knowledge of it is great! Thanks Torga, please keep sharing with us.
