Edouard Carpentier vs Mike Valentino

Edouard Carpentier Vs Mike Valentino (a.k.a Baron Scicluna)

[@jonathanturbide2232]

Wow, Eddie Creatchman as the referee...he's a legendary manager here in Quebec, our Bobby Heenan. Great stuff.

[@jefflashway6644]

I loved Carpentier as a kid!!

[@ResidentBob79]

RIP Edouard Carpentier :(

[@elc1960]

@acehighpat Thanks, Pat. I knew Layton was The Sheik's TV announcer for years and even had a brief feud with him in the early '70s. I just found out about Carpentier's passing. Amazing high flyer who could also get on the mat and wrestle with the best.

[@leeinvegas]

Edouard was muscled ams chilled his whole life as a wrestler .he got better looking as he aged and more beefy .

[@elc1960]

@acehighpat Still true to this day. Look at the response to "old school" wrestling videos from the '70s here on KZbin. You can tell the age of the commenters by how they view old wrestling footage. If they like the older stuff, more often than not they're over 35, and if they're bored by it they're 15 - 25 years old. I'd like to hear Rosie Macomber's reaction to Edouard's passing. She was his long-time fan club president and was as good an authority on him as anyone.

[@paddydoublems]

@elc1960 Yeah, I found out about his passing last night. I showed this match to kids I was baby sitting when I was in high school. They were bored with it since they were used to Hulk Hogan and Iron Sheik, but when Carpentier went into his finishing move, they were amazed.

RIP Edouard Carpentier!

[@brucelarks3223]

Great

[@JackJones-ke8mo]

Yeah dude 😎 you are so right . What is up? Man on man action 🔥 R U man enough?

[@elc1960]

@melbz1266 No, he passed away this past March 20 of 2010. The ref is future manager of the original Sheik, Eddie Creatchman and the commentator is Lord James Blears, BTW.

[@JackJones-ke8mo]

Yeah dude , good match 👍😎 . What is up? Man on man action 🔥 R U man enough?

[@meekrob]

So I'm assuming this is from '57 when Carpentier was recognized as the NWA champion?

[@bettydaw1970]

i thought that name was familiar... you ever see the verne gagne match on youtube from 1976 where the iron sheik is the ref? title: "Verne Gagne vs George "Scrap Iron" Gadaski with The Iron Sheik as referee "

[@melbz1266]

@SandyKrebs is that the creatchman?

[@Lfdjake91]

Even here the Baron is selling the ear. LOL

[@BREMENMURRAY]

Great professional wrestlers

[@paddydoublems]

@elc1960 Actually, the commentator is Lord Layton. I have the video where this is from. Lord Layton wrestled with Blears before hosting.

[@ResidentBob79]

This is wrestling!

[@SandyKrebs]

Look who the referee is Eddy Creatchman manager of The Sheik!

[@cathycartee4180]

No one could really beat Carpentier.

[@phulnelson]

Hans Mortier beat him with his full nelson on Nov. 4, 1963 in Pittsburg, PA.

[@t01880]

@bloodgutsnglory I hope you find that power top you're obviously looking for.

[@melbz1266]

didnt the baron pass away in 2009?

[@sofuengy]
