MAIN MASK
Still one of my favourite sections of an article of that era (from the Olympia in London, but yes, Oakeley was there):
Love it!
Hi Adrian , make no mistake Jack Baltus and Carver Doone are one and the same.
Have you a wrestling bill with this guy on . I don't think I have any.
The Camera has made him look bigger because he is the nearest.
Yes Oakeley was good at using anyone that he could dress up. I had always thought that if not Baltus , then maybe Jack Pettifer an ex boxer.
Carver Doone ran his course. To mask him up would have squeezed another year or two out of him.
These are fascinating riddles you throw out.
