The latest tag match from French TV to be uploaded on You Tube between Gilbert Leduc/Jean Corne and Der Henker/Daniel Scmid has a suprise at the sixteen minute mark. Suddenly out of the blue Pat Roach jumps into the ring and challenges Der Henker to a fight.
This is particularly surprising because he has not appeared in any of the matches uploaded so far and although he was a stalwart of the Austria/Germany tournaments Roach is not so well known for appearing in France.
We are told by the TV commentator that he is a Judo expert
Surprisingly "Der Henker" or the Hangman lives on today with Adam Page also known as the Hangman
Do we know what year this match takes place?, I have seen a 1972 listing of Oscar "Crusher" Verdu, wrestling as Der Henker, in Paris, France, taking on (and beating) Gilbert LeDuc and Jacky Corne, in an 2 vs 1 handicap match.
The Der Henker's i have listed in my records are , Kurt Von Stroheim { Johnny Stein } , Freddy Robert , and Remy Bayle .
