The Florida tag team scene in 1975 was loaded with great talent. Main event wrestlers banded together and formed "super teams" and headlined all over the state. Babyface pairings like Dusty Rhodes and Mark Lewin, and Rocky Johnson and Cyclon Negro, would face heel teams like Larry "The Axe" Hennig and Harley Race, and Bob Roop and King Curtis. Match quality was expectedly very good, and even though the United States was in a recession, fans still turned out nightly to see sensational wrestling.

But, more often than not, many of the best matches of the night were found either in the middle of the card, or even in the opening match. Great teams like Roger Kirby and Jim Dillon, Dick Slater and Johnny Weaver, Dutch Mantel and John Foley, Tony Parisi and Dominic DeNucci, and Pepper Gomez and Danny Little Bear often found themselves working on the bottom half of most cards. But working underneath didn't prevent any of these grapplers from delivering exciting matches on a consistent basis.

The first week of September brought a new, unknown team to the sunshine state. The Masked Superstars, led by notorious Tennessee manager, Sam Bass, stormed the state and entered into the maelstrom of Florida tag team wrestling. Little did Florida wrestling fans know that underneath the masks were veteran Don Greene and the future King of Memphis wrestling, Jerry Lawler.

"I hadn’t been in Florida in quite a few years," recalled Don Greene. "I had spent some time wrestling down there in the early 1960s when guys like Tony Baillargeon, Charlie Laye, Maurice LaPointe, Don Curtis, and The Kangaroos were in the state. Cowboy Luttrall was the promoter back then. When we came in as The Superstars, Eddie Graham was the promoter. I knew Eddie for many years from when he had wrestled in Chattanooga. Of course, he used a different name then. He was quite a wrestler and a very good promoter."

The Florida wrestling program trumpeted the arrival of this new team. "We've all heard by now about The Masked Superstars, managed by Sam Bass. These fellows are real bad news, and while Mr. Bass says he never interferes on their behalf, you'd have trouble convincing some of their opponents of this."
