JerryvonKramer Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 I have his match with Breaks from 7/5/77 at ****3/4 Anything else I should seek out?
Jetlag Posted February 23, 2016 Report Posted February 23, 2016 Faulkner is one of those ultra-talented, slightly weird brit dudes you just come across. When he's fired up and pissed-off, he's blowaway great. What's interesting about him is that he was also able to do super fast paced, 70s-lightweight-workrate stuff. Even more notable is that unlike many other brit workers he has some tag bouts worth checking out, being in a popular team with his brother Bert Royal. I remember having problems with his more cliche doosie-doo "smiley technical brit comedy" stuff, but he's def. a guy I want to go back and study in detail before I complete my Top 100.
Britwresdvds Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 Faulkner had great chemistry with Mick McMichael and their bouts from Digbeth (22/3/1980) is one of my favourite matches. One of those matches that had a little bit of everything. Well worth checking out.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue8XsuCgA1E
Grimmas Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 I have seen one match of his in a tag setting and I came out of it hating him and thinking he ruined that match.
GSR Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 If it's the tag match with Bert Royal against the Black Knights (Masambula & Honey Boy Zimba), I thought that was real bad. Structurally all over the place and bereft of any psychology whatsoever.
ohtani's jacket Posted February 24, 2016 Report Posted February 24, 2016 Most British tag wrestling is like that, particularly the stuff from the 70s. Faulkner vs. Saint is a match-up worth checking our. I ranked their '81 bout on my list of great British and European bouts, but was a bit disappointed in their match from the 70s.
HeadCheese Posted August 12 Report Posted August 12 Fun wrestler and has likable charisma about it, I am not sure if he makes a top 100 list though. Hoping to check out more
