RED HOT CROCKETT RINGS

'JUNGLE' JIM STARR (one of the un-MASKED MARVELS) gives DANNY MILLER a ride around the ring by dragging him by the hair.

* THE MASKED MARVELS did a short stint with JIM CROCKETT PROMOTIONS in the early 1970s. The MARVELS were actually THE INTERNS, who came to the MID-ATLANTIC territory without their manager, DR. KEN RAMEY. RAMEY was not asked to join them due to the abundance of 'heel' managers already in the area.

** Note that PAUL JONES' hair is shorter than he normally wore it during this time. This was due to THE MASKED SUPERSTAR's taking the shears to PAUL's head in a previous match, to set up a long-term program. But, according to BILL EADIE, PAUL didn't want to go around with an ugly butchered-like haircut, so he went to a barber shop and had it all 'evened-up'. It killed the angle. BILL wasn't happy.
