Topic: Gino Hernandez


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Gino Hernandez - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gino Hernandez (born Charles Wolfe) was a professional wrestler.
Hernandez was scheduled to compete on a house show the following Thursday and a non-televised wrestling card at the Sportatorium in Dallas the following Friday (both of which took place despite the nation going through the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, which occurred a day after Hernandez' match with Adams).
Initially Hernandez's death was ruled a homicide case, but following autopsy reports, his death was ruled as a result of an overdose of cocaine, however, many (even today) still believe Gino was murdered, because amounts of cocaine was also in his stomach.

 World Class Championship Wrestling - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Freebird-Von Erich rivalry was one of the most violent feuds in modern-day wrestling history, and continued off-and-on for much of the decade; Parsons, Adams, "Gorgeous" Jimmy Garvin and members of Skandor Akbar's Devastation Inc. stable were also involved in the Freebird-Von Erich feud directly or indirectly during the course of the angle.
Adams and Hernandez eventually broke up and began feuding, and faced each other in a January 1986 match where the loser would have his hair removed with Freebird Hair Cream (a gimmick previously used in a June 1983 match between Iceman Parsons and Freebird Buddy Roberts).
Tragically, by the time this angle aired on television a few days later, Hernandez was dead; his passing, which was revealed by an autopsy to be the result of a massive cocaine overdose, ended any prospects of a hot feud between the former partners.

 WrestlingClassics.com Message Board: the death of gino hernandez.what really happened?
Gino Hernandez's death seems to be an unfortunate consequence of drug abuse.
Gino Hernandez had a bad drug problem and if the people in the world class office knew about it and didnt get him off the road and tell him to go into rehab, they were endangering not only Gino but the people he was wrestling.
Gino was the top heel, and the office had a lot of guys hurt or out, they needed him on the road.

 Christopher Adams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was teamed with Gino Hernandez as a heel team known as The Dynamic Duo.
While paired with Hernandez, Adams developed a gimmick that would later be used by Brutus Beefcake in the WWF--by using a pair of large scissors and cut the hair off opponents after each match.
Four days after returning to England, Scotland Yard questioned Adams regarding Hernandez's death (which was originally considered a homicide case), but eventually Adams was not considered a suspect, and Gino's death was ruled a suicide by OD.

Tully Blanchard and Gino Hernandez: This tag team thrived in the old Southeast Championship Wrestling promotion, run by Blanchard's father.
When Blanchard was still pretty green, he was given a push as one half of this heel tag team, and he took the ball and ran with it.
Blanchard would continually put people away with his slingshot suplex, and the pair were in plenty of wars.

Their GK Gino Hernandez is one of the best in the game (with his special catch) as well as no.9 (who will surely score if you let him get close enough to your GK) and no.10, which you may already know from Hyuga's team.
Easy match, you have the best European GK Gino Hernandez (well, at least that's what they used to say...), you must use your no.9 in order to score, although he doesn't have any special shot.
Well, I believe you have already seen this match, no? This time, use Schneider to score with his best shot and just be careful with their GK, Gino Hernandez, since his Golden Hand Catch will work fine most of the times.

 Grey Dog Software- Gino Hernandez - YOUR Champion!
Many of you probably do not remember Gino Hernandez, as he was one of the first casualties to the excesses of his generation — dying in early 1986 at the age of 29 of an apparent overdose.
An incredibly charismatic worker, Gino was troubled by his demons (like many of us).
Remembered for his continued attempts to make it in the Soap Operas, and his 'live fast / die young, party-boy' image, I shall be roleplaying the character as such; someone that doesn’t care about the profession, using it for his own ego-driven attempts at stardom in other, more ‘reputable’ mediums.

 Mike von Erich
Mike did have some success in WCCW over the next few years, mainly in the Six-Man Tag-Team ranks alongside his brothers (as well as Lance von Erich, a reputed long-lost cousin who actually wasn't related to the family).
Mike did have a major singles victory in August '84, when, as a substitute for his brother Kerry (who no-showed), Mike defeated Hernandez to win the NWA American Heavyweight Title.
Unfortunately, in the middle of '85, Mike's career took a turn for a worse, as a shoulder injury placed him on the shelf after surgery.

Although he had rarely wrestled before the fans in the territory, he was booked in a match with a regular, the late Gino Hernandez.
I had only worked a few times that year, so I wanted to have a tremendous match with Gino and call upon the skills I had used when I worked with Dick Murdoch and Leo Burke.
The things that I did in the ring with Gino — high spots, bumps, and timing — were not consistent with the character that I had developed, or what I was portrayed to be.
