February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728822 I have his match with Breaks from 7/5/77 at ****3/4 Anything else I should seek out?
February 23, 20169 yr comment_5728845 Faulkner is one of those ultra-talented, slightly weird brit dudes you just come across. When he's fired up and pissed-off, he's blowaway great. What's interesting about him is that he was also able to do super fast paced, 70s-lightweight-workrate stuff. Even more notable is that unlike many other brit workers he has some tag bouts worth checking out, being in a popular team with his brother Bert Royal. I remember having problems with his more cliche doosie-doo "smiley technical brit comedy" stuff, but he's def. a guy I want to go back and study in detail before I complete my Top 100.
February 24, 20169 yr comment_5729033 Faulkner had great chemistry with Mick McMichael and their bouts from Digbeth (22/3/1980) is one of my favourite matches. One of those matches that had a little bit of everything. Well worth checking out.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue8XsuCgA1E
February 24, 20169 yr comment_5729089 I have seen one match of his in a tag setting and I came out of it hating him and thinking he ruined that match.
February 24, 20169 yr comment_5729110 If it's the tag match with Bert Royal against the Black Knights (Masambula & Honey Boy Zimba), I thought that was real bad. Structurally all over the place and bereft of any psychology whatsoever.
February 24, 20169 yr comment_5729190 Most British tag wrestling is like that, particularly the stuff from the 70s. Faulkner vs. Saint is a match-up worth checking our. I ranked their '81 bout on my list of great British and European bouts, but was a bit disappointed in their match from the 70s.
