Not many MASKED Wrestlers in the lower weights were around in the 1950's!
But for some Months in 1958 a MASKED Middleweight Clad from Top to Toe All in Green
suddenly Appeared in our Rings-EMERALD PHANTOM! If you were a 'Purist' Wrestling
Follower then this Mystery Man's Skilful 'Scientific' Style was right up your street!
In order to 'Perpetuate' the Run of this Type of MASKED Man-the Promoters decided to
Stipulate that HOODED Wrestlers like this PHANTOM would only have to UNMASK if
they were Beaten by TWO Straight Falls!-Please note BERNARD that this was sometimes
the 'Rule'!-By the way did you ever see this EMERALD PHANTOM BERNARD?
Programme to follow!
MAIN MASK
No, Sorry never saw him, in fact i had never heard the name until now.
Of course not being Joint, I probably wouldn't have.
You may be able to tell us otherwise Main Mask but Emerald Phantom seems to have had a short run of months in 1958, working for independent promoters, particularly Jack Taylor. Lou Ravelle, Frankie Price and Ken Shaw amongst his opponents. Not exactly first division.
