For at least 12 Years THE GHOUL Stalked Our Rings!-But in all that Time this Huge
MASKED Monster was never Legitimately Defeated!-He must have Fought Everyone but
never once did he have to UNMASK!
As early as 1950 Speculation had been gathering pace suggesting perhaps he really was 'Unbeatable'??!- BERNARD was Lucky enough to see him Wrestle Live many Times but
could Anyone have really Beaten THE GHOUL if he'd not been willing to 'Allow' it?
How Potent was that Guillotine Garrote? Even COUNT BARTELLI could only 'earn' a 1-1 Draw! Many said he couldn't Wrestle that well-he just used his Bulk and Power-but in direct comparison-ZEBRA KID was a similar size and weight and COULD Wrestle!
Does BERNARD think THE GHOUL could Wrestle?
Could No-One have 'properly' Beat him in the Ring?
See Article below from AUGUST 1950!....

Sorry, pressed the button too early.
I meant to say that I think this is a load of tosh!.
RE-reading the first article "WAS The Ghoul actually unbeatable?", you notice different things that catch your eye.
Did Bomber Bates ever go to the USA? let alone a 6 year unbeaten spell there.
In a straight, genuine contest wearing a mask would be a considerable disadvantage, so yes, I think the Ghoul would be very beatable.
No. and I am sure some historian can produce results to prove this.
He did not have the same drawing power as when he had the mask on.
The Ghoul was unbeatable ... as long as Norman Morrell told his opponents that he was.
More glorious nonsense, and many thanks for that Main Mask. 96% capacity houses, a record in reach of only 7% of wrestlers. This is scientific gobbledegook unknown in wrestling circles. If only Mat Review had forecast the General Election result.
We have the wrong perspective here.
The Ghoul did not allow anything. The promoter dictated and Morrell was too shrewd a business man to let his top money earner fade away by losing.
Could some wrestlers have beaten him in a genuine fight?
Probably.! I think that i would have backed Bert Assiratti in a straight fight and possibly some other top men.
But it never happened because of reason stated above.
At least THE GHOUL could be THROWN!!........
