Les Celtes are Human, Human After All

Les Celtes (Jean Corne/Michel Falampin) v. Inca Virraocha/Jose Gonzales 1968 (?)- GREAT

Another really fun high speed French tag. Lots of very fast rope running, headscissors and arm drags. Jose Gonzales was the real discovery here, he looks just like David Crosby and is a lunatic in ring bumper. He just flies around on armdrags and monkey flips, really fast, violent looking and high in the air. Your opening Corne v. Gonzales section would blow away a CMLL or US Indy crowd. I also really liked the nastiness of his uppercuts in the uppercut exchange section. Les Celtes were a perfectly fine baby face tag team not the athletic highs of the Cesca/Chemoil team, but everything looked sold and they timed their offense good. Match never hit that next level but it was a treat to see Gonzales and watch him do his thing.

Wow, I don't know if it's the same one but the main Jose Gonzales in wrestling is WWC's Invader I. He debuted in 1966 so it's a possibility.

I also believe it's Falempin not Falampin.
