Jetlag Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Johnny Czeslaw was a baldheaded polish toughguy who looked like a roman senator and survived a russian concentration camp as a boy, but seemingly enjoyed doing light hearted comedic technical wrestling a lot. Kellett is one of those 1 in 1000 characters that you have to see once in your life. This is easily the greatest comedy match ever. Even with all the jest going on here, they keep it highly competitive and do all these great moves and holds, especially Czeslaw who is such a wrestling master. Les Kellett, for a crusty old charlatan, wasn't afraid to take reckless bumps. The facial expressions, timing and body language on display here were incomparable. The jokes had an almost silent film like quality to it, and they never exposed the business. This match was funny, fascinating and impossibly british all at once.

gordi Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 This is really a terrific match. It's funny, it's classy, it's charming - part of that surely due to the dulcet tomes of Kent Walton - and it's a very solid British pro wrestling match on top of all that. The joke they pull between the first and second falls is as funny as anything Kuishinbo and Ebessan ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadCheese Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 The match has not even started and Les Kellett has superkicked the ref. There is a great round transition in the first round. I am suprised nobody else has had to sneeze mid match. I could see how Les inspired Colt Cabana. I would like to see these guys in a even wackier themed match. A lot of fun stuff. Overall- A fun match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cactus Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 For years I've only known Les Kellet as the guy who had a huge influence on Colt Cabana and I can see why after watching this match. His comedic timing is impeccable and the referee and Czeslaw are great at playing the straight men. Czeslaw and Kellet missing out on their first rest period because they were tangled up was a genuinely hilarious moment. For a man in his late 50's, that bump to the outside that Kellet took looked super painful. This match was a total joy to watch! ★★★★ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
