France in particular had a real big wrestling scene. Andre's stardom isn't anecdotal. It's a real shame to see just how inexistent it has become, even in the indies. The last thing I've heard about from there was when ospreay wrestled for newly formed Rixe prior to joining AEW, but haven't seen anything about it since then.
Funnily enough, they still have an archaic wrestling scene in Senegal. It's pretty rad, and it seems to continue to draw large crowds to this day.
