Like the Legend of Gilbert Cesca All Ends With Beginnings
Gilbert Cesca/Ben Chemoil v. The Black Diamonds (Abe Ginsberg/John Foley) 2/28/65-GREAT
Not a classic like our previous Cesca match, and this was worked as more of a traditional tag match. Diamonds are a british tag team and they are both pretty amusing stooging heels. Cesca is really athletic and there are some moments where he is really flying around the ring. There were a couple of really nasty uses of forearm smashes, one where Ginsberg puts Chemoli in a surfboard where Foley tags in and rips him with forearms. Both teams had some really nasty forearm exchanges too. Most of the match had the Diamonds pratfalling, and I could have used a couple of more examples of real menace and violence from them. Very enjoyable match, and fun to see what tag wrestling looked like back then.
