Any 'Contact' Sport is physically and mentally Dangerous!-Serious Injury or worse is a
constant worry!-Sadly we have lost Wrestlers in the Ring-only this Year the MEXICAN
HOODED Wrestler-SILVER MASK died and before him two Top Names that immediately spring to mind are MAL KIRK and OWEN HART!So Wrestling is a Precarious Game!
We also remember that Great Boxer SUGAR RAY LEONARD suffering a 'detached
retina' in a Match!-Which leads me onto my Topic-in the 1960's MODESTO ALEDO was a
World Class Lightweight Wrestler and a very worthy Challenger for GEORGE KIDD'S
World Crown!-However in just another Bout which turned out to be anything but suddenly he
turned to the Ref and asked for the Fight to be stopped!-He couldn't SEE his Opponent!
He had sustained a head injury that adversely affected his Vision and rendered him almost
BLIND!!- MODESTO realised it was very Serious minutes later back in the Dressing Room
when he couldn't see AT ALL!-Subsequent Medical Tests and Investigations resulted in him
being told his Sight Loss would be Permanent!-He was obviously Devastated!
His Promoter TOMAS ANTHONY right away sought the Services of the Best Eye Specialist
in Spain who Operated on ALEDO!-The Procedure proved Successful and the Surgeon had
managed to Restore the Wrestler's Sight!-It was Hailed as a 'Miracle' and after months of
Recuperation MODESTO would even be able to Wrestle once more!
He went on to carve out a new Ring Persona for himself as the Sinister MASKED
KAMIKAZE!-' Disbelievers' who maintain that Wrestling was just Pat-a Cake Stuff should
read the Story of the Wrestler who was very nearly Blinded for Life!
