This is an excellent example of "scientific wrestling." Each man used true wrestling tactics, Gagne the tactician vs. the strength of Atlas. It's totally unlike the brawling of the WE or WWE.

The Mighty Atlas vs the Mighty Baldy. Atlas has a great old-style body though, no lunkhead steroid use with him.

both men well matched: Gagne better techincal wrestler, but no match for the more powerful Atlas: worked Verne over for most of match: best man lost here

Atlas borrowed Angelo Poffo's gimmick...

That was pretty stupid. Falls outside the ring never count.
