OK wrestling historians, who was the top ten best masked wrestlers of all time? This isn't face paint wrestlers they wore mask. I think this youtube got some but more out there.
The Spoiler big man walked the type rope
Who are we forgetting?
Someone hasn't been watching the original Wrestling from the Chase and failed to mention the great Dick Murdoch wrestling as the Invader that was unmasked by no other than Bruno Sammartino. In one match against the great Johnny Valentine, the Invader was in trouble and JV ripped off his mask, only to discover the Invader was wearing 2 mask.As JV proceeded to rip off the second mask, Harley Race interfered and saved the Invader from being unmasked completely.
Not mentioning Dick Murdoch as the invader is a great injustice and tells me whoever made this list doesn't know the original real wrestling or its origins.
MM should have been 1 or 2 IMO.
Other honorable mention is The Blue Blazer (Owen Hart) another great injustice to be left out who died in the ring during a stunt gone wrong.
Ray Mysterio although good and deserves a top 10, wrestling had turned into a soap opera at this time and lost a lot of its greatness.
I worked next to Bob Backlund at the Big E in Mass. He asked me to watch his money bag when he had to go out to the business office or bathroom. I wasn't going to steal it and watched it like a hawk. He was charging $20 to have photos taken with him. I worked at the CT DEP Boating exhibit next to him and we got to be friends. I asked him if he worked with Johnny Valentine as he was my fav of all time; and Bob said no but understood JV was a master . But he told me he worked with Greg (JV's brother).
On my last day, I shook Bob's hand and told him it was an honor working next to him and he said "No, It was my honor working next to you" That made me feel quite special.
