Here is, to the best of my knowledge*, the only surviving episode of Varoussac Promotions' Les Etoiles de La Lutte. This flagship show for the Montreal promotion started in 1980 and ran until 1984 (when the WWF swooped in and bought the timeslot, renaming the show Les Super Etoiles de la Lute while retaining its hosts, Edouard Carpentier & Guy Hauray. Varoussac Promotions would rebrand itself as International Wrestling/Lutte Internationale in 1984 and subsequently host its TV tapings from a variety of arenas. This show aired sometime around June or July 1983 as the interviews and promos were building up to the Montreal Forum card on July 25, 1983 (thanks to Martin Ouellet and and STVSuperTV for background info) and was taped at the CHLT-TV Studios in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Edouard Carpentier and Guy Hauray provide the call of the action.
Intro
Dino Bravo vs. Tony (Tom) Lintz
Lord Alfred Hayes & Masked Superstar int. (Hayes speaks French!)
Tony Parisi vs. Raymond Coutu (Thanks to viewer Fantomas Ragnarok for identifying his surname!),
Eddie Creatchman & Pierre Lefebvre int.
Andre the Giant vs. Bob Boucher & Dan Ferris
Dino Bravo promo re;Paul-Sauve Centre card
Moondog Sailor White vs. Denis Goulet
Gino Brito & Tony Parisi interview (show cuts off here).
*I do have some isolated matches and interviews in French from Les Etoiles de la Lutte circa 1984 that I will share soon. Anyone out there who might have complete episodes of Les Etoiles de la Lutte, please post them to KZfaq. I'd be curious to see whatever you have!

Tellement fou de voir ça! Je regardais ça quand j'étais jeune, je me rappelle encore quand Mad Dog Vachon et Mad Dog Lefebvre annonçait leur combat au centre Paul-Sauvé LE COMBAT DE LA MORT!!! Mon frère y a été avec mon grand-père, j'aurais tellement aimé y être!!!

Thank You from Sudbury ON. We were serviced by the Montreal Territory. On Radio-Canada tv affiliate from Ottawa we received this program which was produced by Edouard Carpentier and on MCTV-CTV out of Sudbury we received the english version which was the Superstars of Wrestling Program produced by George Cannon until the WWF took over the french version and folded the George Cannon show in 1985.Because of this the territory which was led by Gino Britto started to produced their own programs in both languages titled International Wrestling on the MCTV system and La Lutte Internationalle on cable which was a TVA aff. out of Hull PQ until they folded in 1987.Once they folded Sudbury was serviced by the AWA.

Gilles "The Fish" Poisson, Tarzan Tyler, Mad Dog Vachon, Killer Kowalski, Gino Brito, The Lumberjacks ... over the years the Sudbury Arena had some terrific matches ... and then the guys would pile into a car and head on to the next small town to do it all over again. I saw Hawk & Animal at the Coulson Hotel in the 1980's. They took up the whole door frame. Seemed to be simpler times, but they probably were not.

Awesome you met the Road Warrriors. As a pre-teen 85-88 I stalked the wrestlers at Golds on Lasalle. Ive missed the Warriors twice by only a few minutes but I met other wrestlers from Strong and Martel to Dr. D and the Rogeaus. The biggest asshole I met was Austin Idol but he was probably miserable missing banging his cousins in Memphis.The nicest guys were mostly heels such as Steve Strong, King Tonga, Samu and Alofa(aka Fatu aka Rikishi),but later on during shoots those wrestlers said they had nothing but fun in that territory. During the AWA year DDP, Madusa,Wayne Bloom and Paul Diamond(A Northern Ontario Boy) were very nice and took to my stalking very well.

I think you can still find some 10-minute pieces of 'Super Etoiles de la Lutte' circa 1985 and 1986 plus isolated matchups by searching with 'Edouard Carpentier' and 'Guy Hauray'.

you have any Pat Patterson interviews in french ??

@retrogamah 7 жыл бұрын

To tell you, at the Mad Dog Lefebvre/Eddie Creatchman interview, Billy Robinson became a face & turned against ex-manager Lord Alfred Hayes (who got Masked Superstar) & the rest of the heels & aligned with the Rougeau brothers to fight against Mad Dog Lefebvre & Pat Patterson. So , this is during the Bravo/Superstar feud that started when Superstar attacked Bravo and beat him with a chair . Maybe it's around the spring or summer of 1983.

@KaijuEigaMan88 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for all the background info! My French is rusty so watching/listening to these interviews can be challenging for me to follow. I wish more complete shows were available from this timeframe. I do have some arena matches from 1982-1983 that I could share this weekend (including some Dino Bravo/Masked Superstar arena bouts). Do you have any complete Les Etoiles shows or matches?

@retrogamah 7 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately I didn't have a VHS recorder in the early 80's so I don't have any recorded wrestling from those years, the only thing I have is the 3 DVDs on "Golden Age Of Quebec Wrestling". But I really did watch regularly "Les Etoiles de la Lutte" from 1981 to 1984 and good parts of "Lutte internationale" 1985-86

Levis the 67 À l'époque la plupart des territoires Americains (AWA, Georgia, Mid Atlantic, Mid South, Florida, Memphis) faisaient la même chose, enregistrer les épisodes dans un petit studio ne coutait pas cher et était facile à produire. Les promotions faisaient leur profits lors des galas, les émissions de télé étaient juste un véhicule afin de vendre ces galas.
