Terry Rudge was fantastic.

 

Also, Big Show was in such phenomenal shape back in the day. Missile dropkicks 'n' shit.

Agreed. A while ago I went looking for Terry Rudge matches(more still show up now and again) and was crushed to find the only time he shows up on tape in Japan is shaking the hand of and saluting Andre before a match with Inoki. Andre saluted him first of course.

There are even better photos that I can't post, or even link to properly it seems. Image search the guy. Some great pictures.

I'm on my way to talk wrestling with Roland Barthes.

Is there any French wrestling that was filmed, besides that one gem that I believe was unearthed by Schneider recently (or at least ended up on his last comp)?

A lot was filmed, given that there are probably hundreds of clips of matches on youtube, I've only come across a handful of longer matches, and even they tend to be chopped. Most seem to be 60's or thereabouts, pretty much everyone works a fast technical style, as was the norm I guess.

 

What was the match on the comp?

That was the best thing to come out of that WWE 2K14 cover contest - before, they'd just shown a lower-res version of it for the WM Blu-Ray set on TV. It's also my wallpaper.
