Originally, in 1915 a new arrival appeared in the ring,with a Mask to hide his identity. Why? Was he a criminal? Maybe a hard working tradesman moonlighting? My good friend Dr. X, probably one of the best known Masked Men of the Mat, touched on him,giving him credit as a early Masked Competitor.
Around WWII a newer Masked Marvel was gracing the ring
The difference? This version wore a White Mask vs the dark mask of early days.
From parts unknown,and coming in and leaving the arena in his Mask,left only more questions!
My sources agree that he was a Doctor of Psychiactrics,however no solid proof.
Many early TV shows would have Professional Wrestling on TV in the background mentioning his name.
Even in the Blues Brothers movie The Masked Marvel is remembered in the flophouse manager scene as he watches Professional Wresting!
In Canada a dark masked The Masked Marvel appeared!
So who was that Masked Man? (SORRY COULDNT RESIST).
Maybe we just aren't supposed to know,after all, he wore a mask!
