    Tremendous footage.
    In 1971, I discovered Professional Wrestling Through Grand Prix Wrestling.
    Such great memories for me.
    1970’s Wrestling was the best decade for the sport.

    As I said.
    1971 was the year I discovered Pro Wrestling.
    From 1971 to this very program.
    Eduard Carpentier and Johnny War Eagle were my 2 favorite wrestlers.
    Until I saw Chief Jay strongbow vs. the Shiek.
    Strongbows wrestling style was so exciting to me.
    That he became my favorite wrestler of all time.
    Because of that match.
    I can’t thank you enough for posting this video.
    And bringing me back.
    To such a great memory,for me.
    In my life.
    So Brilliant in every way.

    Wow, I had no idea full shows from Montreal existed this early! Someday, someone needs to pitch a Canadian wrestling docuseries to the CBC, if for no other reason than to expose the breadth of interesting (and probably totally unseen for decades!) footage that I suspect is sitting in their archives.

      I remember when they were first introduced on the French telecast, I was expecting a fun babyface team (I was 8 back then) like an Asterix and Obelix gimmick...instead, they were a pair of dirty-looing, greasy-haired, arrogant heels...I was disappointed, to say the least ;)

    More info: André Proulx is Tommy Seigler's opponent. Can't find much info on him, but the era and country matches with what I've found (If needed I can share the links for the sources)
    Alex Scuredis seems to be the name of Hank James' opponent.
    On the main event: Glen Sharkey & Al Bourgeois vs Andre Pelletier & Jackie Wiecz
    If you want help on naming wrestlers on your other videos, send me the links, and I'll do my best!
