Matt D Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 As we end 1957, we're jumping ahead to some of our good friends from the crazy trampoline match, which a slight sub for injury. This one's Mota dos Santos & Pierre Payen vs Francis Louis & Jean Claude Bordeaux from 1971. Much more grounded and narrative-driven than the trampoline match. Still a lot of this: And a surprising number of bumps to the floor off of dropkicks: I usually hate giving these away but here's the finish to the first fall. Pretty novel stuff: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He botched every single thing he tried to do up until that point, there is no way I'd let him jump of the ropes on me either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Rolling right into the last few gifs of the dos Santos tag. There's a lot more to see and I suggest people check it out tomorrow, but I didn't want to give everything away: This is a keeper right here: Payen is a babyface usually, I think, but dos Santos' usual Portuguese partner was injured so he crossed the line and he did it very well: After a hot tag, a revenge DK to the floor: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Have you seen the Trampoline match yet, Pete? This match was leaps and bounds better than that, because it was far more grounded and structured and had a big crowd brawling bit that was cool, but the trampoline match is something everyone should see at least a few minutes of because it's wild.

Jeez, you're not kidding about the PWG parallel, even the same exact camera angle as the old Reseda hardcam and right down to the crowd in the front crowd jumping out of their chairs for the pop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen clips of it, yes. Pretty funny to hear how dead the crowd is for it live-to-tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 There was a long stretch in like 1996/1997 where anytime some combination of the Steiners, Mongo/Benoit, and the Faces of Fear were in the ring together, motherfuckers were getting ragdolled and dropped on their head. It was incredible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
