Making his first appearance here on Beefcakes of Wrestling is Louis Napoleon. Born in Paris, France, Napoleon (real name Florian Klonig) is 29 years old, 5'9", 190 pounds. Cagematch, The Wrestling Database, says that Napoleon started his in-ring career in 2003 which means he was only 14 years old when he joined the business. Over the years, he has adopted several in-ring personas such as Marvelous Michel, Blue Falcon, Florian Le Menestrel, and La Miseria. Just a few days ago, May 26 to be exact, fellow Frenchman Tristan Archer defeated Napoleon in an ICWA Heavyweight Title Match. That match still hasn't been uploaded to YouTube, but there is a 2016 match between Archer and Napoleon which you can watch here. Learn more about Napoleon in this interview conducted by The British Wrestling Revival Blog. To see him in a slightly more recent match against American wrestler David Starr, click here.
That match with David Starr is great - it was a bit surprising that chairs were allowed but they were a great addition. Fun match.
