Everyone knows My Favourite Wrestling Matches of All were MASK versus MASK Contests!!
Wouldn't it have been Great to see a Collision between The Original DOCTOR DEATH and
KENDO NAGASAKI??- A 'Fight to a Finish'-'Must be a Winner'-Loser to Unmask!
Of course The Clash between 2 Long-Standing Career MASKED Men would have been Massive 'Box Office'!-Just as the Epic and Iconic Match between COUNT BARTELLI and KENDO NAGASAKI
was way back in MARCH 1966 at VICTORIA HALL HANLEY-with Hundreds Queuing round the
block unable to get into a Packed Arena full to the Rafters!
Some MASK versus MASK Contests never happened like NAGASAKI vs The Original OUTLAW!
Different Time Frames often put paid to such a Contest like DOCTOR DEATH vs THE GHOUL!!
Similarly with NAGASAKI vs The BRITISH WHITE ANGEL!
Such was the Much Vaunted Reputation of these Great MASKED Wrestlers that Their Names
Live On in Wrestling Folklore long after They have gone to The Dressing Room in The Sky!!
So what you got instead of the 'Authentic' Originals was Unscrupulous Promoters Cashing-In
with Phoney 'Usurpers' to Dupe the Fans into thinking they were Witnessing the Real Deal!
And even better put these Imposters in against The Top Masked Man of the Day to Exact The
King's Shilling from Loyal Wrestling Followers!
Thus Below we have a Bout that did the rounds in the Mid '70's:-
KENDO NAGASAKI vs (The/A Phoney) 'DOCTOR DEATH'-This Match at WOLVES CIVIC!
MAIN MASK
I was trying to see that tattoo on the arm which would be a sign of the real L'Ange Blanc.
I sported a big checked jacket in the early seventies just like that outstretched arm, and that was when the original was in UK. The trend didn't last long!
On the negative side: a missing apostrophe ... and what are those two last letters?
And the physique isn't really swarthy enough for a 40+ year old Spaniard.
Plus ... didn't he wrestle maskless on that tour? Certainly on tv against BBD.
In conclusion: I don't know ☺
