irabowman Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Does anyone know who or a link showing the real men behind the masks of. 1. Assissan 2. Mr. Wrestling 2 I read once that Wrestling 2 was a friend supposeably of Jimmy Carter and was invited to his swearing in, but reclined as he would have to be their with no mask. Too at that time he was still actively wrestling. These two guys kinda seem like the Lone Ranger just will not give up their mask to my knowledge.

PeterHilton Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Mr Wrestling II was John Walker. According to OWW, the Carter story is a bot of a myth, but he was Jimmy's favorite wrestler. The Assassin is/was Jody Hamilton who would later open Deep South Wrestling and The Power Plant for WCW. He is referee Nick Patrick's dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. Boons Ghost Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 OWW has a rather decent profile of Johnny Walker -- located [URL="http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/gallery/m/mrwrestlingii.php"]here[/URL]. The Assassin was actually Tom Renesto. His tag team partner was Jody Hamilton (Assassin #2). Once Renesto retired, he gave Hamilton his blessing to take over the Assassin #1 spot. While many people think of Hamilton as 'the' Assassin, Renesto is the original - and in my opinion the better of the two. An interesting fact: Not only is Jody Hamilton the father of referee Nick Patrick (as mentioned by Peter) - but he is also brother to The Missouri Mauler (another of the great forgotten wrestlers of the 50s and 60s).
