MojoJsyn Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 I'd have to go with Destroyer, Mysterio, and Vader. Though Vader had a mask with holes all in it. Haven't seen much of Santo so can't comment on him though I know he is the biggest masked star ever.
Smack2k Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Best Masked wrestler to me? - Masked Superstar - Good in the ring, good on the mic.... The lucha guys are amazing, but to not understand what they say hurts it for me....so staying with Eadie...
Memphis Mark Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 Mr, Wrestling II , the great Johnny " Rubber Man " Walker . i saw Johnny Walker wrestle in Memphis in the early 1970's . He is one of the best in ring talents in the history of wrestling . Johnny feuded against the likes of The Interns and the late , great Don Greene . Walker had been wrestling since the 1950's . He was suffering for male pattern baldness and was beginning to age . In other words he looked like Verne Gagne. When , Jerry Jarrett took over the Atlanta booking , he created the Mr. Wrestling II gimmick for Walker. If I remenber correctly the Atlanta . Mr. Wrestling was Tim Woods . Later Dick Steinborn was Mr. Wrestling in Memphis. So Walker , a 20 plus year vet , took the Mr. Wrestling II gimmick and explode on TBS as a new talent . . I believe he worked in Georgia , Florida , Southeastern , Mis- South and the Mid- Atlantic areas as Wrestling II . The II character drew a lot of money and gave a 20 year vet another 15 plus years of earning main event money. The Wrestling II character hit cable in it's infancy . Almost none of the fans knew the man behind the mask was over 50 years old.. Just guys like me who got the Wrestling News every month .
