So David, I know this is probably a hard question to answer given youve watched so much, but could I have some catch recs? Im relatively new to the style, but so far Inca Peruano, Gilbert Leduc & Anton Tejero have been my favorites.

My favourite bout is Le Petit Prince Vs Michel Saulnier from 1969(even though the TV station spliced images of old paintings over bits of it.

Some other favourites of mine include the masked Zarak (Dave Larsen) late period catcheur Prince Zéfy, sneaky heels Josef El Ars and Black Shadow, mid 70s masked wrestler Le Samourai, 60s Greek lightweight star Vasilios Montopolous early 90s young heel champion Eric Lacroix and Robert Gastel whom I just posted.  Spanish high flyer Angelito, Albert Sanniez particularly later on as a Jim Breaks style "horrid little man" heel. The best bit of Flesh Gordon's career is his tag team with the older Walter Bordes circa 1983-1985.  Oh yes and I've got a soft spot for Mammoth Siki, a sort of 70s French version of Junkyard Dog.

Thank you! That'll give me a lot to look into

It amazes me that you bang the drum for technical wrestling over and over again and recommend a bunch of kitsch stuff. What's next, you're gonna recommend the swimming pool matches?
