It is not widely known that BILLY JOYCE Wrestled as BROWN MASK in late 1956-
early 1957!-This is rather an UNUSUAL Tale as his 'Run' lasted just 13 Bouts!! before
losing 2-1 to REG WILLIAMS!! BUT his first 12 Victories included a Win over ERNIE
RILEY-a Champion at the time!-How did a Top Wrestler the Calibre of JOYCE last
only a dozen Bouts before being Unmasked??
Does it reinforce the View that in those days Matches were far less 'scripted' and far
more a Proper Wrestling Match?
If so did BILLY just 'slip up' against WILLIAMS to lose the MASK?
Was he fed up already with the Restrictions of Wrestling in a HOOD after only a handful
of tries?-If so-Why did he 'DEMAND' a Re-Match with REG. in early 1957?
Why did he bother with the MASK in the first place?-All very UNUSUAL!
I have 3 BROWN MASK Programmes for his Bouts at ALTRINCHAM! Can RON find
any of the other Bills for BROWN MASK Contests? Has BERNARD heard of the BROWN
MASK?
MAIN MASK
Another reason why bouts weren't real is that they would have lasted two minutes,
But 4 bouts of 25 minutes each ensured value for money.
