    A line that comes to mind, "beware the old man in a young man's game because there is a reason he has survived as long as he did."

    I always notice how much younger PCO appears in the heat of his matches. It's like the embodiment of that warrior spirit coming out. That piece of theater that can still grab an old fool fan like me and generate that little heart jump I got as a kid during NWA and Mid South shows.
    Thank you for making this.

    You have no idea how much this documentary inspired me during COVID. I was a local wrestler in the quebec territory when covid hit and watching stuff like this flicked a switch in my brain and i started lifting, got myself proper wrestling gear, learned to sell my character properly and it opened a ton of doors for me and it keeps getting better.

    I just really appreciate seeing a documentary about an old dog wrestler who’s still in the game because it’s his driving passion and not a result of being some burned-out charity case who can’t let go of his faded glory.
    Well done.

    Amazing how his career has had a fresh start and also shows that the older guys can still go as well as younger ones. Sadly once you get to a certain age in wrestling at least in North America you are deemed to old now and most modern fans don't care to see them. Very different when you look at Japan and Mexico when they still have many in their 50 still active on larger shows.

    Wow, I loved the documentary.
    I met Carl in IWA Puerto Rico back in 2004-05. Great person. We talked about his career and of course I let him know how much I admired his stint in the Quebecers team.
    I always wanted to team with him as a "Quebecers/Military" gimmick. Coincidentally, I currently have a gimmick that fits what I wanted back then.
    I'm very proud of his current role in the business!!! He is one on my heroes!!! Thank you Carl, for taking your time to talk to me and for never giving up!!!! Long live PCO!!!

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!! What a great video and great advice from PCO. Everyone is a critic and judging others. Complaining whats wrong with the world and everyone in it. WE NEED TO LOOK AT OURSELVES!!!! GREAT ADVICE PCO. I am here after watching him on the G1 show last weekend. I was surprised to see him!!! I met him in Quebec city summer of 1995. I wish we could share pics here I would share it. He was with Bob Holly Ric Martel and Justin Credible at a restaurant. I remember being surprised the Model was there because he wasn't on WWE for years then and I told my buddies he would be returning and he never did. I found out years later that they kept french wrestlers part time for the shows they did in Quebec. I have no clue its name or where. I was only 11. But if i'm not mistaken I think it was the restaurant at the hotel/motel me and my folks were staying at. We drove from Nova Scotia to Toronto to see the Jays. I am a huge WWE fan and the highlight of the trip for me was getting their autographs.

I am 48 and have, at the very most, 10-20 years left. Not bitter though, actually happy for him. Yet If I could somehow drain his Lifeforce, thereby replenishing mine....

As soon as I saw his full name, I knew I watched him in WCW and WWF when I was young. I remember loving watching him wrestle then and I love watching him now.

  • @JSchaffer214
    @JSchaffer214 5 років тому +2

    I remember watching this guy back in the day when he was with the Quebecers and even during that horrible feud with Bret Hart over a stupid jacket. I always wondered why a guy his size, with his athleticism, never got a big push in WWE. A few years ago, through various shoot interviews, I found out why. Glad he's finally getting some recognition.

    Wow! As a kid, I was probably one of the few that was a big fan of the Quebecers, The Mounty and when PCO had his run as the pirate. I was and still am a HUGE Bret Hart fan and Bret played a huge role in inspiring me as a kid. However, I remember Bret and PCO (as the pirate) feuding over Brets jacket. I was digging the hell out of the pirate character and lowkey was hoping he'll come out on top in the feud and end up being a big star. As a kid I wasn't sure if wrestling was a work but my intuitions were that PCO would lose the feud and fade into obscurity. Which pretty much happened. SADLY.
    So I'm happy to see the dude is doing big things nowadays and recently even performed at the G1 ROH NJPW card at MSG and had a SICK spot. And I'm even happier people are taking to him. He seems to be in a good place lately.

    I love this and it’s awesome that now PCO is a prominent guy in the indies and has signed with ROH working alongside Marty Scurll, one of their biggest stars. I couldn’t believe that PCO was THE Pierre Carl Oullet from early 90’s WWF when I first heard it because I knew about him for a year before that. Crazy to see that he’s made a huge name for himself and that wrestling fans are willing to see what this guy who no one said anything about 30 years ago can be a huge draw and someone people search out. I’m happy for him and can’t wait to see what he does with Villain Enterprises in ROH

    Great story and love how PCO reinvented himself. Shows you can still excel at something that much younger people do if you work hard enough. I do worry though about setting sights on a WWE return. They're not big on new gimmicks if it isn't something they invented themselves. Best chance to get with some American promotion with TV like ROH or Impact, try to gain a cult following similar to what Matt Hardy did with the Broken thing and then maybe WWE will have interest.
