As a Promoter PAUL LINCOLN was 'ACE' as we mostly All agree!-His Inventiveness and
Creativity was Second to None with the sheer Variety of his Ring Characters from MIDGETS
to GIANTS-He had them All!
We also know that one of his 'Regular' Giants was SKI HI LEE-Well covered elsewhere on
HERITAGE!-However there was ANOTHER LINCOLN Giant...............
A Huge Wrestler who boasted extraordinary 'Feats of Strength' and who employed some
Vicious Ring Tactics-This was MONGOL DAKAR.........
Reputedly having beaten some of the World's Top Heavyweights-PAUL LINCOLN brought
him over to do the same to our Best Heavies!!
A great draw-Fans would come just to see exactly 'How Big' this Guy was? and whether
he really could Pulverize all his Opponents? A latter day GENGHIS KHAN then.....
In the Featured Article/Programme-to follow-we see him pitted against the 21 Year Old
'Firecracker' from WINCHESTER-DAVE LARSON!! Was it a Lamb to the Slaughter?.....
MAIN MASK
They do look similar. Lincoln's giants were often no giants. We know now the man didn't turn up. Whether or not he was ever booked and received a Lincoln embellishment we will never know. But I reckon he's the source of the character at least.
Is this our man?
Alejandro Barrera (9 July 1921 - 14 September 2004) in Cuzco Peru. An actor and wrestler known as Dakar in Argentina.

Just wanted to update this topic, as we've suspected Mongol Dakar never showed up. This programme I've recently found mentions he will be unable to appear in the UK due to injury:
Did the above match even take place? In the other topic (Dr Death in Leicester) it bills Dave Larson vs Quasimodo instead.
Here he is, and what I've found.
I didn't recall the name at all. My first thoughts were that one of us should recognise him under another name. I have now found him working for Lincoln but only in April and May 1964. Can anyone else shed any light on him? Brings to mind our friend from Fiji Muhammed Yakub. A genuine wrestler turns up in London looking for a bit of work. Directed to Paul Lincoln as a better bet than Dale Martin. There might be more to this fella than we would think.
