Baltimore's Dr. X unmasked
Anyone in the Baltimore-Washington area who went to WWF matches at the Baltimore Civic Center and Capital Centre in the ’70s and ’80s is familiar with the fan known as Dr. X.
The masked spectator always had floor seats and used to enthusiastically heckle the heels. He was one of several fans from back in the day who were such characters that the shows just wouldn’t have been the same without them. In addition to Dr. X, there was Georgette Krieger as the proverbial little old lady seated at ringside who hit the heels with her purse, a boisterous middle-aged guy who taunted the heels with a rubber chicken, and a guy who danced in the aisle shaking pom-poms.
Two decades after Dr. X decided to hang up the mask and begin a life of anonymity, he was spotted this weekend in San Diego, where he will attend today’s game between the Ravens and Chargers.

I just finished explaining to my wife who Georgette and Dr. X are...MAN Kev! You are really bringing back memories of me and my dad (who has since passed)sitting in our $7 seats in awe of the interaction between X and the wrestlers. Thanks for the therapy :) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

The rubber chicken guy was always my favorite.

My bad ! I misunderstood . I thought Baltimore's "Dr.X" , was Brian Roberts, David Segui, Larry Bigbe, and Jay Gibbons personal "physician" .

Next time you post a link to a video featuring an annoying midget, can you make it something with Hornswoggle instead of Nestor.

When I was a kid I thought those guys were cool. Nowadays, not so much.
