BirthME, Doulas

I had the opposite experience as I was able to sit through the entire match without pausing.
That's too bad considering how entertaining his shtick is. After Bibi leaves, we get the match.

This was worked like a handler trying to tame a wild beast. He had me convinced that his goose was cooked. Jessy Texas is dressed like a cowboy and rides a horse to the ring.

The first time you have those moments where you're trying to work out who's who (okay, this guy's hair looks like this, etc. Mambo does a huge plancha off the top turnbuckle.

Le Petit Prince & Claude Rocca vs. Bob Remy & Anton Tejero (aired 8/18/80) Debusne looked like he was working hard as he was sweating profusely, but he didn't have the skills of a Jacky Corn to keep things interesting, and it wasn't until the finishing stretch that I bought into this.

There was night and day between the matches. This wasn't as exciting as the last bout we saw him in, but he's been one of the more flexible talents to date. I wouldn't really call them stylists in the sense that later workers were, but they were certainly focused on their craft. I think what makes Peruano unique is that he's a foreigner working the tongue and cheek European style.

It's not unusual for promotions to misspell names on posters (don't get me started on how you're meant to spell Alan Sarjeant or Ivan Penzekoff.) He looked like a decent worker, but he was a masked guy getting a push, and his first priority was to put Corn away. I do wish he would stop doing Leduc's moves, however.

That's it, unless we've overlooked something. — Trump et les Ouïghours : l'éthique des affaires n’est pas un objet diplomatique comme un autre Pollution : au bord de l’Aisne, «tout le monde est en colère contre Nestlé» Changement climatique : comment les vignobles français préparent l'horizon 2050 Ouragans : va-t-on manquer de lettres pour les nommer cette année ?

That won't mean much to most of you, but if you've gone through the 80s catch, you'll be familiar with a middle-aged Shadow, who was one of the better workers left in the business. I thought I had seen this before but apparently not.

In fact, for some years we barely get any footage at all. Is he the man responsible for this shit show?

In a strap match! Where the hell do you even find all of this stuff BTW ?

You can see the wrestlers standing in their corners waiting for the bell. There's also a midgets match in the same broadcast.

It's cool that we have so many different types of Verhulst matches. Mambo Le Primitif vs. Just goes to show what you already know -- you have to be in the mood to watch these long technical matches.

That's a move Duranton did a lot and one I'm surprised other wrestlers didn't pinch. You can see how Duranton morphed into the character he became as the crowd got a kick out of his comedy spots.

I really need to devour everything we have from him. I thought Der Henker would be some huge stiff, but he was actually the same height as Corn. I'm just glad I found a match where the combination worked. I really like Black Shadow as well.

Gordon ends up taking a whipping, and when it's finally too much, he starts choking Mambo with the strap. The Golden Falcons, followed by the tail end of a Herbie Hancock concert where he's treated like a rock star, and then the news. Crappy, from memory. This was a nice technical bout.

C'était pour de rire, et la France découvrait le catch.

Mercifully short.
So many guys do it. Gilbert Leduc & Jacky Corn vs. Der Henker & Daniel Schmid (aired 3/30/74) Flesh Gordon & Angelito vs. Kato Bruce Lee & Frederico (aired 7/28/85) Peut-on être verbalisé si on ne porte pas correctement son masque ? It's probably an artificial construct based on how few matches we have, but he feels like a traveling Naoki Sano type.

Flesh Gordon! Thomy Bourdelle, Actor: Les trois mousquetaires.

He was trying to be a wrestler here instead of a character. ), but once I realized Lamar had a mustache, I could focus on what he brought to the table.

A pair of nothing matches to end our 80s catch adventure.

He's one of the worst selling babyfaces we've seen so far. As for Corn, this was a nice return to form after that surprise beating at the hands of Robert Blasco. Nom de ring: Chéri Bibi. He's this chubby blonde kid who bumps and sells like a European Buddy Rose. They called him "Kurt" Kayser, but I'm pretty sure this was Peter Kayser, the guy who fought Mercier twice.

It seemed like the winner was determined at the end of the fifth round. This was fine. I thought he would be a questionable worker like L'Homme Masque, but he ended up being a lot better.

A pair of nothing matches to end our 80s catch adventure. This was a good match.

Who was that mystery primate? In fact, I'm not convinced it's the same worker. Like a lot of catch matches, this got better once they started clobbering each other. Which he did with authority.

This wasn't as exciting as recent weeks' offerings, but it was much better than later Duranton. I'm not sure why you'd do a Batman gimmick without a mask, or why Larsen was still doing the Batman gimmick in 1970 after the craze was over, but this was a really good match. For some reason, this was a handicap match. I'm not sure how things panned out with Chaisne.

Chéri-Bibi, « bagnard au grand cœur, ange gardien à la sale tronche » est de retour.

What can we say about him?
