Masked Wrestlers have been around since the days of Strangler Lewis and Jim Londos. It is still a good gimmick to have wrestlers come into an area or a TV market 'terrorize' the whole group of wrestlers and then have one finally beat the masked bad guy, unmask him and then he leaves in disgrace.
This short lived series starred Lyle Alzado of pro football fame who by day teaches in a private school but by night when there's a show goes to the arena as the Masked Maniac. Of course with that title he's a villain. But he's also the father to Yannick Bisson and Nicole Stoffman and therein you have the usual parent teen problems.
For reasons I couldn't fathom Alzado kept his secret life a secret from his kids. I guess he didn't trust them. They must have been blabbermouths.
Yannick Bisson has had a long career in Canada on the big and small screen. Sad to say Alzado passed on a couple of years after the series was cancelled. It did run on Saturday morning on NBC in the USA.
Wonder what Yannick Bisson thinks of this now?
