That Master of Promotional Publicity-PAUL LINCOLN-was Years ahead of his Time and
his Promotional Vehicle/Machine was frankly Pretty Awesome!
Within LONDON Especially-He Staged Extravagant Spectaculars at Venues on the
GRANADA LEISURE Circuit-which often proved to be 'Sell-Outs'!!
Probably the 'Jewel in the Crown' of these was GRANADA TOOTING-The scene of
DOCTOR DEATH's Epic Triumph over THE WHITE ANGEL on 4TH MAY 1962!!
So now I Share a Glimpse into these Fabulous Shows-starting with the 8TH TOOTING
Spectacular on WEDNESDAY 17TH FEBRUARY 1965!....
The Programmes for these were quite Lavish Booklets!!....
MAIN MASK
Magnificent Main Mask, with a bit of help from Paul Lincoln. The bill for the first programme, the 17th February, is featured in the Pictorial History of Wrestling book. That's was the first (and last) time I came across Carl Lindenberg.
We have a Ray Stevens in the A-Z but he's not the same as the Ray Stevens on the Lincoln bills. We asked him.
Colin McDonald, wrestling Saint, was a good friend of Johnny's. Not only was he Johnny's first professional opponent Johnny says it was Colin McDonald that suggested the name Johnny Saint.
