As a Wrestling PROMOTER and as DOCTOR DEATH-There were TWO Men who were
Both very Important to PAUL LINCOLN!-One was Fellow AUSSIE and subsequent
Business Partner-RAY HUNTER-and the Other was JUDO AL HAYES!
Arguably as far as the Wrestling is Concerned the Last Named-AL HAYES- was the Major
Component in LINCOLN's initial Success!
Firstly beneath the MASK of THE WHITE ANGEL in that Epic TOOTING MASK vs. MASK
Battle on APRIL 4TH 1962 and subsequently in 'Big' Matches in which HAYES tried to get
his 'Revenge' over DEATH of which there were quite a few!
Much like the Role BARTELLI played a few Years later after Losing his MASK to KENDO
NAGASAKI!
So 'ALFIE' was a Massive Cog in the Well-Oiled and Finely-Tuned LINCOLN Business
'Machine'!-Their Contests were Top Draws and so for 2/3 Years they Played out this
'Affair' Filling Halls wherever they Fought!-In my View LINCOLN would have been less
of a Success without AL HAYES!!
So to Snapshot this 'Feud' Series-I Share some Real Rarities from my DOCTOR DEATH
Files:- Enjoy and Appreciate just how much of a Genius LINCOLN was as a Wrestling
PROMOTER and Business Entrepreneur!!
Firstly a Clash at DE MONTFORT HALL LEICESTER-in one of my Personal Favourite Years
-1964!!

Doesn't Alfie look great in his kit!!!
Surprised he wanted to unmask after little more than a year, must have been a great gimmick, a clean masked man (stolen from France).
That's great, MM. Thank you. Scrutiny of the good doctor's deeds never fails to fascinate. And all without TV coverage .....
I knew you'd know the answer, MM. I never realised you would know so much of an answer!! Thank you. That's all new info to me. Just when you thought you'd begun to understand .... Many thanks.

Here's a weird one, MM. According to a results site there was a Paul Lincoln promotion at Newport, Gwent, on May 1st 1964 when Tony Charles and Rocky Paul drew in a tag match against the good doctor .... and a White Angel. Did Paul Lincoln really resurrect the White Angel two years after Tooting ... alongside his continuing revenge matches with Al Hayes? Whaddya think??
MC
Thanks Main Mask.
Hunter v The Wild Man always bothers me: how on earth could the squat one put over his gimmick against a man a foot taller.
Dale Martin managed him much better ....
Next we have a Match at CHELMSFORD!-Note the Original Owner of this
Programme Recorded a 2-1 Win for the Man from 'HOLLYWOOD'- Also Note
the LINCOLN 'Masterstroke'-Billing the GOOD DOCTOR as Hailing from
'TINSELTOWN!!-Affording himself 'Film Star' Status!!-Just Brilliant!!
