Green & Lawler Masked

[dannygoddard]

Back in the early '70s when I was photographer for GCW, Jerry Lawler and Don Green asked me to come over to their apartment off of I-75/85 to shoot publicity photos of them as a tag team. Once I arrived, I saw that they had matching leg-tights with artwork on them by Lawler. Then they pulled out the masks and I shot a series of photos for them. I think they said they were going to Gulas territory and work under the hoods. Does anyone remember what they called themselves and how long this lasted?
About 6 or 7 years ago, I ran into Lawler at a shopping mall in Oklahoma City. I stopped him and he at first treated me like a mark. I reminded him of who I was and that I had shot those pictures of him and Green with the hoods. He then remembered and became friendly, even asked if I remembered the name of those apartments because he couldn't! He was in town for RAW.

If they went to work for Nick they probably called themselves "Poor and Broke".....

Actually they went to Tampa and were called the Masked Superstars. They had Sam Bass as their manager.

They changed their gimmick, then. When I shot their pics, they had tights, seems like they were some sort of red, but up and down the legs and across their tops was artwork of Lawler's. I'm sure they said Gulas but I guess things changed. Perhaps the outfits they are wearing in the photo are just another pair without the artwork. That pic must've been shot in Florida when they caught up with Bass.
