Tale Of The Tape
The Skull Baron was arguably the greatest threat in YWL's history. His intense physique and violent nature frightened people. He took the YWL by storm. He was the first wrestler to sign with YWL. On the first episode of YWL, he began his reign of terror as he crushed Robert Martel in a fairly short match. Since then, he had destroyed every obstacle that came his way. Giants like Freddy Wilson also lost to him. Overall, he was the greatest villain ever seen in late 1990s.
A youngling named Brick Mason was rising his way to the top during The Skull's reign of terror. He had the spectators behind him. His motto was to "Never Give Up". He was, in fact, a man of mettle. He rose through stardom and the last hurdle in his way was none other than The Skull.
This match was made official by YWL's owner. On the biggest annual show of the year Coronation 1988, the prestigious inaugural vacant YWL World Heavyweight Championship was on the line. This match eventually became the most talked about match in YWL's history.
