Matt D 12,258 Posted July 1 Second video this week was Guy Mercier vs Allen Le Foudre (Charles Verhulst/Johnny Londos). It was a weird round systems match but had a lot of great individual moments. Verhulst really liked doing this: These Mercier armdrags are wild too: One of the most defining things of 50s French Catch so far has been extended holds and the utilization of multiple moves to break them. Here, Verhulst holds on to a chinlock despite another one of those deep armdrags. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt D 12,258 Posted July 1 Another example of a hold being hung on to, this time a cravate through a really high bodyslam attempt: Mercier had some throws, let me tell you: It's not all front facelock deadlift floatover suplexes though. I like the way Verhulst uses his head to steady the anklelock, and then Mercier's counter. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
