23 February 1956

Eddy Wiecz* & Eddy Coparanian vs Andre Bollet & Georges Gueret (second half here), 23 February 1956

A tag team match is sexier when you picture yourself in the middle of it. Usually, as is the case here, I imagine myself as either or both of the bad guys. Bad guys do the most damage and take the most liberties with their opponents' bodies, but then, as is the case here, they often get a sharp and speedy rebuke at the end. Plus, they wear the black trunks; black would hide my hard-on, inevitable if I'm to be in the same ring as Eddy Wiecz.

The bald guy is Andre Bolle. He likes pulling hair, and he has enough hair on the back of his head to pull, and Armenian wrestler Eddy Coparagian gladly yanks it. Bolle is a bad guy. He punches the small of his opponent's back. He climbs on top of his partner's assault on Wiecz. He interferes repeatedly. And Coparagian punches him in the mouth at the end of this match. I would want to be Bolle. In the 60s, Wiesz beat him countless times. Several times Wiesz defeated both Bolle and a partner in two-on-one matches. Bolle also had run-ins with Gilbert Leduc, winning about as often as losing.
