Following on from my recent 'EMBRYO DOCTOR DEATH LOSES' Theme and the 1957
PAUL LINCOLN Bill-I can now place him 3!!! Years EARLIER at PIER PAVILION in
SOUTHAMPTON on THURSDAY 16/12/1954!!!
His Bout then was against JOHNNY YEARSLEY and was under the DALE MARTIN
Promotional Banner!-This almost 3!!! Years BEFORE the 1st Appearance of his MASKED
Alter-Ego!-and must have been one of LINCOLN'S very first Professional Contests in this
Country!
Stepping into the TARDIS we can hurtle a FULL 15 Years!! Forward in Time to 1969 and
one of the last Appearances of the Original DOCTOR DEATH! In this Year he Returned after
'Vanishing' for 3 Years to Fight a very limited number of Matches against Top Opponents
such as MCMANUS-LOGAN and the Bout Featured here-against MIKE MARINO-All Solo
Contests!
DOCTOR DEATH vs. MIKE MARINO-CARDIFF-FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 5TH 1969 and
under the PAUL LINCOLN PROMOTIONS LTD. Banner!!
Thus a Snapshot of the Incredible Career of this Iconic MASKED Wrestler and Promoter!
Programmes for above to follow!!
MAIN MASK
Great stuff, Al, revealing that Dr Death faced several new opponents in 1969: Viedor, Pallo ...
Fascinating to see McManus even on a non-DM bill commanding second bout, to be away before the interval. This must have mattered so much to him.
