[@mrernesth]

Wow!! This is pure gold. Thanks for uploading it.

[@TheTerryE]

You got a love when one guy completely dominates for 12 minutes and then in the final few seconds, gets pinned.

[@conbusken2007]

[@ianstrange5674]

I love vintage wrestling.

[@bearwrestlemuscle]

yeah, this is awesome. Can't wait for the conclusion...

[@Patricia13386]

These were real wrestlers.

[@Bunbunfunfun]

Edward Carpentier was like a proto type for the dynamite kid.

[@musicalmike235]

Love the Back Suplex (or Suplay)

[@libra42ful]

...AND the humiliating pin afterward, Carpartier suckin wind on Thesz's alpha-feelin balls...

[@TheAlain005]

This is not their famous match that was one month before(7/14/57, when CARPENTIER defeated THESZ to become champion.This return match was not as good.If someone has it,please post it for wrestling fans.

[@JohnDoe-wb4iv]

The was greatest

[@JackJones-ke8mo]

Yeah dude 😎 good match 👍 What is up? Man on man action 🔥 R U man enough? 2hot men got a love this.

[@GeorgeM129]

where's the first fall?

[@hirokim4305]

great!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrMKH2010]

Thesz is playing a bit of the heel in this match.

[@libra42ful]

....ESPECIALLY by setting his trunks-clad balls down on Carpartier's mouth as he's suckin wind from having the wind knocked out of him with the slam

[@libra42ful]

Pause at 12:41...Carpartier tonguing Thesz's bloated, trunks-clad nut-sac, signalling his submission the only way he can physically muster after Thesz back body-slamming him down to the canvas with such force...But Carpartier's balls-tonguing submission goes unnoticed by the ref, and instead is granted a 3 count pin loss...Watch right as Thesz is dismounting Carpartier's face, Carpartier has his mouth wide open still trying to suck wind from having it knocked out of him from the slam...How humiliating for the little, muscular, French prettyboy...and how incredibly alpha-satisfying for Thesz

[@sottytwosteve6769]

One of these men was my uncle, the other was not Canadian, guess which one.

[@libra42ful]

Carpartier is obviously the Uncle (French Canadian He was)

[@charlesnathanhatton]

John is correct. Carpentier was a great athlete and in great shape but Lou Thesz was better recognized as a true wrestler.

[@joethecabdriver]

Anyone have any idea who the commentator was? He is really irritating.

[@MrMKH2010]

Quite a few. Most everyone was a real Mark back then. They could not tell the difference betweenThesz wrestling a regular match or if he was shooting on someone.

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

Jack Dempsey doesn’t seem to like Thesz very much lol

[@agsemerjian]

marvelous!

[@NecroericYoutube]

carpentier was my moms favorite wrestler

[@donstone4101]

anyone notice Carpentier's sweat soaked front?

[@libra42ful]

...are you sure it was "sweat"...? 🤔

[@wwspic36]

Yeah... Thesz does look really hairy for this match!

[@cuatroruedas]

Watch and learn, John Cena!

[@Kfowlkes09]

Not just John Cena. Everyone in the modern era should watch this and learn.

[@sottytwosteve6769]

I am not God nor Jesus but i am the most muscular 5th grader that has ever lived!

[@joethecabdriver]

@joethecabdriver almost as bad as David Crockett!

[@pithair1]

I thought it was real when I was 7

[@ianburton6071]

As did I!

[@pithair1]

Thez looking real hairy
