There is now a match from September 1958 in France on You Tube with Bert Royal tagging with his father Lew Faulkner. Same website as the other French matches but unlisted
Bert Royal was brilliant. In the two 1970 tag matches on Youtube his moves are faster than the eye can follow. It's one thing to perform those moves; another to think them and execute them instantaneously.
But a wrestler's moves have to be limited to the agility of the opponent.
See that in Royal's bouts with a lethargic Steve Logan. He had to let it degenerate into a slug-fest because Logan just couldn't participate in the aerobatics.
That's what I meant about the 1958 Youtube tag. Bert was probably restricted there by the inability of his opponents to roll around the ring amd reciprocate his high-flying moves.
Bert Royal undoubtedly had a great wrestling brain.
