As Most of you know my 'Pet Love' within BRITISH Professional Wrestling is Career
MASKED Wrestlers!-Very Very few were good enough to enjoy Long Unbeaten Runs!
One such Who began Appearing in Our Rings in the Late 1930's was GREEN ASP!
An 'Odd' Choice for a MASKED Man's Ring Persona you might think-but the Athlete
Hidden under the COWL of the ASP was a Very Very Good Wrestler indeed!
GREEN ASP was around for at least 12 Years between 1938-1950!
To my own Knowledge his only Recorded Defeat was in JANUARY 1940 when he came
a cropper in a MASK vs. MASK Contest against my Top Favourite-pre BARTELLI-
BLUE MASK!!- However in those Days of little Communication-only Months later GREEN
ASP was back again in Shades of a Future Top Masked Man-ZEBRA KID-Who was
UNMASKED several Times in this Country-but still continued to Wear his ZEBRA STRIPED
MASK and No-One seemed to mind-in an apparent 'Flouting' of the Rule that when a
MASKED Wrestler was Beaten he had to Lose his HOOD Permanently!!
Below I Share some Rare Bills Featuring GREEN ASP Who was an Important Persona
In Wrestling Pantheon of Career MASKED MEN!!
Here he is as 'Team Captain'-Weighing 200 lbs?? in a Tournament at WINTER GARDENS
just Days before the Outbreak of WW2!!
