Jetlag said: "Another guy who massively benefited from the French footage becoming available. The man looked world class from his first appearances in the 60s up to his last in the 80s and virtually always had an outstanding match. Amazing technico, but also amazing rudo. Looks great both doing high end technical work as well stooging for faces and being a rough playing bastard. Has both great singles matches and great tags under his belt. One of those French guys whose matches you can show to anyone and their jaw will drop."

His match against Le Petit Prince had me wanting to see more. The athleticism that I was used to from other Prince matches was there, but Sanniez a little bit of roughness and fire to the match to get you a little bit more emotionally invested.

There's a bit of Sanniez work on YouTube already:

There's also him & some unknown vs. the Mercier Brothers somewhere in the rubble.

 

Apparently, he fought Alan Sarjeant on British TV. I'd give a lot to see that match.

 

Thanks for the recs and links! I did see and enjoy one of those tags at some point, and I liked that as well, so I am looking forward to checking these out.
