Was this our Russell?
All fans over 60 and many younger (he was publicising All Star until not long ago) know Russell Plummer and remember him as a great wrestling commentator and historian.
Well, rummaging through the papers I came across a preview in the Peterborough Evening Telegraph of the White Angel-Dr Death 1962 clash at Tooting.
The author said the match had created the greatest interest since Assirati and The Angel. A splendid build up. But then he said that many people believed Dr Death was Paul Lincoln, who may have been looking for a way out to concentrate on his other entertainment interests.
If that wasn't bad enough he went on to say if the White Angel was the well-known English judoka as he believed, who would care?
Bloomin' 'eck, the author has just about unmasked them both before they even got in the ring.
The author was R.A.P. The place was Peterborough.
It all points to our Russell. Come on Russell, time for another revelation.
And when you think about it, Dr Death(Lincoln) was quite a small Window compared to other masked men.
Maybe we have over rated him in the fans version of history. He even came out top years ago on this site.
I hold my hands up , he was nostalgia for some. I never saw the real one.
Great find, Hack.
Very very naughty.
