In the World of Professional Wrestling-there was one tried and tested Formula which was the
Central Plank and Premise of nearly all the Bouts!!....
The 'Blue-Eye' Goodie versus the 'Villainous' Baddie!- Black versus White!-Good versus Evil!
The Villain would spend 3/4 of the Bout 'Bashing-Up' the Blue Eye only for him then to make
a Miraculous 'Comeback' from the 'Jaws of Defeat' and gain sometimes a very unlikely Win!!
The Baddie got his Comeuppance and Quite Right too!!
You could still cheer your Favourite either/or but you generally knew the Outcome and it still
didn't matter!!
Not happening very often you would get the odd Contest where TWO Baddies were pitched
against Each Other!!-Two Ruthless Rule Benders slugging it out!
Who do you cheer on then?-NO Goodie to root for?!?- A much harder to anticipate Outcome!
I've seen a few myself-GIANT HAYSTAX vs.SKULL MURPHY!!- MCMANUS vs. MAXINE!
What about JIM HUSSEY vs. HANS STREIGER?- Predict the Winner there? or....
BILLY HOWES vs. ROY 'BULL' DAVIS?-A right potential Rough House there?!
Who saw Baddies Fighting Baddies? Who saw two Bad Guys in a Standout Match?
I bet the 'Atmosphere was very Different with not a Blue Eye in sight?!-Then we had the other type of Baddies Matches where BOTH Protagonists DIDN'T LIKE Each Other one bit in
REAL Life.......

MAIN MASK
Adrian Street vs Jim Breaks 1972. Bad tempered and unsportsmanly but basically scientific 1-1 draw with the only public warning in the final minute of the final round. The referee was the blue eye for getting that match out of the pair.
