Between 1961 and 1966 in This Country there were a Few Classic Matches in which Two
High Profile MASKED Wrestlers came into Conflict in Contests where The Loser had to
Unmask!!
Most Memorable perhaps among these were The Clashes between DOCTOR DEATH and
WHITE ANGEL and of course the 'Watershed' Encounter between COUNT BARTELLI and
KENDO NAGASAKI!!!
Not to mention The Collision at VICTORIA HALL HANLEY between ZEBRA KID and COUNT
BARTELLI On MARCH 5TH 1961!!
It didn't Happen very Often but on A Handful of Occasions Oher MASKED Men found
Themselves in Opposite Corners and then One of them had to go!!-So in These Rare Bouts
A Masked Man wasn't just Fighting for his Purse-He was Fighting for Survival!!
Below is Another such Contest when The BLACK MASK-The First Masked Wrestler to
Appear on ITV from MIDDLESBROUGH-Ran into The RED DEVIL at The FESTIVAL HALL
KIRKBY-IN-ASHFIELD!!
BLACK MASK is 'The Toughest Wrestler Ever to Appear in BRITISH Rings' and 'Makes his
Opponents look like Cissies!!'-Great Promo.!
RED DEVIL is 'The Ruthless Ring Assassin'!!
Fight to a Finish!!.....
But which 'HOODED TERROR' Won!!!
Never Seen ROY ST.CLARE Spelled this way before too!!
MAIN MASK
Get the right men behind the masks and these for me are the best matches of all.
Unlike title matches they don't come about very often.
Great stuff MM
