Guy Mercier vs Jack de Lasartesse

Following my recent blog on old French pro wrestling, I wanted to share one of my favourite matches. This bout is full of great contrasts: Jack de Lasartesse was from Switzerland, tall and slim, with a straightforward style that relied on dirty tricks; his opponent, dressed in red trunks, was French, muscular, and an excellent technical wrestler. This match exemplifies what pro wrestling should be: straightforward, gimmick-free, in simple, traditional pro gear.

I like this type of wrestling also. The guy in red trunks is very hot. Would have liked to be in headscissors between his legs mmm
