Masked wrestlers when they were finally unmasked was a complete shock when their identity was revealed.

Matey Dave asks if you missed him the?

I seem to recall Lazenby was unmasked when he had appeared as The Blob.

As the eighties progressed into the nineties it became a regular thing when promoters were short of wrestlers to present a full card to get a wrestler who had appeared earlier in the evening to reappear wearing a mask.Once at Wolves Civic Hall Barry Douglas was in the opening match of the night and also the main event with a mask.Most of the crowd were shouting its Barry Douglas!.No shock that night

No I don't Romeo. Unmaskings I'm aware of (apart from Howes v Naggers and the 1980s Naggers saga) are the result of amask v mask match. Ken Lazenby was the referee of that Nagasaki-Howes match. Around 1975/6 this unexpected unmasking would have been a surprise but moreso with it being Ken Lazenby. I can't see any record of Lazenby as a wrestler.

Suprised it wasn't Max's milkman
