When we watched the French Catch uncovered in 2020, I tried to capture gifs of unique holds, sequences, and character bits. I began posting them too early into this account so some are flagged, but if you start with the one below you can scroll back and forward to see/share them.

Gilbert Leduc vs Michel Chasine next (JIP: 9/20/57). Electric finishing stretch. Power bombs somehow disappeared from the world in the 70s and only reappeared in the late 80s, as if the NWA brokered some sort of deproliferation accord that ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Some great tag team heatseeking here from FTR, turning the crowd from a 60/40 split to a booing, frustrated mass. It still works. It always works. It's one of the most beautiful things in all of pro wrestling. Sabin is very good on the apron here too.

Putting aside how good of a conventional babyface or trickster archetype Orange Cassidy is, THIS is his secret power.

I learned more about who David Finlay is as a character and wrestler in these 90 seconds than in all of his other AEW matches combined.

“You enjoy the noise. You enjoy participating in it. You enjoy being able to yell when you want to without having the rest of the family look at you strangely. And you go home with the feeling of having participated.” - Paul Boesch on live pro wrestling.

I'm increasingly convinced that the future of pro wrestling is a reframed social contract with crowds, a transparent "neo-kayfabe" that convinces them it's in their best interest to leave irony behind and embrace a unique interactive theatrical experience. Some words on that.

Thematically, there are so many comparison points between Goldberg and Big Daddy. Short, ritualistic matches. A massive finisher. Unique physicality. Seeing something special & being part of a movement. Only a tiny bit of doubt/peril. Justice being served.

If you're starting a project examining a wrestler, it's best not to start with the biggest/best known matches. We worked our way up over ten varied matches and now have reached Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks, ready to see if our findings hold(And they do!).
