[6.0] "From the little I managed to see, it seems that the mighty Raphael Halpern was a solid classic 50's-60's technical wrestler with a decent skill in the showmanship department. You have to give respect to the fact he had a successful run in North America and the fact a match of his managed to sell out the biggest indoor venue in Israel is quite an achievement. Plus, the fact that he refused time and time again to break kayfabe is amazing (but in another way, rather annoying since he probably could have build up a decent scene in Israel but didn't want to destroy his image as a "real" fighter)."
