Anton Tejero

[Grimmas]

From Microstatistics:

To me, the most impressive wrestler from all of the French footage. Great as the technically gifted stooging heel who could big bump AND violently rough up opponents.

w/Inca Peruano vs. Gilbert Cesca/Ben Chemoil, 3/12/1965

vs. Walter Borders, 8/29/1967

vs. Jon Guil Don, 4/18/1976

If this list was about dedicated bumpers, Anton Tejero would be a #1 contender. This guy would fling himself wildly out of the ring dozens of times per match all the way until his last days in 1980s. Really a special case of a guy who had absolutely no problem bumping his ass off endlessly. Also super impressive on offense, when he gets to show of that as often his matches were built around showing off the offense of the babyfaces. His tag work with Inca Peruano in the 1960s is totally radical even in the context of the high level of French wrestling at the time. Definitely a big part of what made the French scene so great considering for how long he keeps showing up and doing his thing. His work doesn't quite lend itself to the conventional understanding of a 'great worker' as in someone who colours matches with his offense and control segments, but as a rudo he's definitely an all time great. I don't recall  a single bad match that he was involved in.
