[10.0] "One of the easiest 10/10 ratings I think I'll ever give in my time as a pro wrestling fan. I first heard of event from looking at Andre the Giant (Jean Ferre)'s career highlights tab and found his match on this show. Through some digging of searching for the Petite Prince vs. Bobby Genele match, I can confidently say that it was one of the best matches I've ever watched. The video was chopped down from the 27 minutes the match was to 7, but god DAMN they were cooking. If I had a Time Machine, the first thing I'd do is go back in time and watch those two compete at every show they ever worked. Simply one of the most hidden gems ever. Jean Ferre vs. Franz van Buyten was another good match that showcased Andre better than anything Vince McMahon or the WWF ever did. I highly recommend watching this show."
