Small Handful of MASKED Wrestlers who were anywhere near Noteworthy!

MAIN MASK
M M did you get a freee haircut though .I remember the him starting out with Cassidy as the Outlaw to be fair it was obvious to most punters that this was not the Gordy version. Nice guy who was a friend of Eddie'. Funnily enough
he was working same bill when Charlie was timekeeping for Cassidy at the Holdsworth hall Manchester,Charlie was pontificating with die hard fans on the theatre of wrestling and how he'd witness all mask tournament and how blood was produced.Cassidy heard this and blood was produced later it was poor old timekeeper who Cassidy banged his head on the table
