I narrowed it down to three.Georges Gordienko,Ricky Starr and Jon Gildon.Gordienko was super strong with amazing technical skills.Starr had fantastic athletic skills to complement his technical skill.Eventually I chose Gildon,Seeing him live on many occasions,for me,his technical skills were mesmerising.Of course its all about opinions.Who was the most technically gifted Overseas wrestler in your opinion?

How good was Rene Ben Chemoul? Kent told us he was the best. What about Luther Lindsay? Gordienko a good call, Guil Don I didn't see, Ricky Starr I wouldn't have included.
Mesmerising is indeed the word as Romeo says for Jon Guil Don.
But I wouldn't put Ricki Starr on the list.
What about Lou Thesz? Le Petit Prince? Bert Mychel?
The one to challenge JGD might be Kung Fu.
Great choices and I am not saying two more are even in their league.
But I have never forgotten Gor Tanaka.....he never gets a mention. looked in the Dynamite , Jones , Rocco, Finlay class to me.
Also there seems to be no footage of Karl Pojello.
There will be others.
Your right SaxonWolf.Owen was also very agile and athletically talented.
All good shouts. I thought Owen Hart was great the first time I saw him against Marty Jones, on TV.
