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
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.
