  • Buddy Rogers was something special. He was a solid wrestler who understood what the fans wanted to see. Moreover, he understood how to give it to them. He made his opponents look like a million bucks in the ring and got himself over by utilizing his arrogant and egotistical mannerisms to great effect.

    He was the one true Nature Boy.

  • Thank you so much for uploading this. It is an exceptionally-rare example of Buddy Rogers at his finest -- it's vintage Rogers -- bumping and selling for his opponent. A great clip of the top "heel" wrestler of the "Kayfabe" Era. He was the top wrestling attraction in America after World War II until he retired in 1963.

    The French-born Carpentier briefly held the NWA world's title after beating Lou Thesz in Chicago in 1956. He held championship titles across the U.S. Thank you again.

  • Love it when Buddy wears the lighter trunks! Always had such a great "package"!

  • @rickyrecon45 I LIVED DOWN THE STREET FROM BUDDY IN CAMDEN NJ. ON ARLINGTON STREET 

  • Although this was a "worked" match, it has more "real wrestling" techniques than many matches nowadays.

    Liked this pro wrestling style much better!

  • EXCELLENT! =oO

  • @CrimsonMaskI

    Carpentier was born in France from a Polish father and a French mother !!!

  • RIP Edouard Carpentier :(

  • Buddy Rogers lived on via the imitations of him by Rick Flair, Superstar Billy Graham, and a few minor pretenders, Eduardo Carpentier had no peer--while not as bouncy as Antonio Rocca or Vittorio Apollo, he carried his compact athletic build with the grace of a ballet dancer and the thrust of a freight train. Remember when Killer Kowalski pulled down his shorts? Buddy Rogers was shrewd and often baited the more good-matured Eduardo until he finally got pissed enough to send him flying far..

  • I saw Buddy just before he died at the Cauliflower group convention in Sherman Oaks California. he very much looked liked his old self. I used to see him as a kid at the Olympic Auditorium in LA in the early mid fifties. I was one of the gopher kids hanging around the dressing room door with the small concrete steps going down. He used to pull our hair in mock fashion and grimace as he did it. The big show then was his matches with Billy Darnell and the airplane spin. Jimmy Page

  • Thanks for the information. I'd correct my post if Youtube's procedures allowed it.

  • Carpentier, real name Weiczskorski, was born in Poland.
