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.

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.

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.
