Count Bartelli, the man made himself a Legend to Wrestling Fans in Wryton Land. I thought that somewhere, I had him as Jeff Condor in 1939, but the spellings vary and could not put my hands on it.
So instead, here he is 1940. Honest advertising, the man from Crewe.
The earliest dates that I can show with the mask and new Persona
The Count did endless Mask v Mask matches to build his invincibility.
Remember not a full heavyweight for many years, unmasked The Black Knight, got draws with the huge Ghoul, bouts with Zebra Kid.
But I think the two most famous are below.
And finally the day he called it a day.
Hack
Bartelli was always very definite that his debut, as Jeff Conda, was against Johnny Summers in 1939. In his book he lists his first three or four matches.
