Loved these guys as a kid watching WCCW. Just watched the dvd and wow! These 2 guys would've been huge stars in the 90s and been absolutely huge! What a tag team!

I'm right there with ya, fabulousfreebird. I'm still really pissed that Gino Hernandez didn't make it onto WWE's recent DVD release. He was a brilliant part of WCCW.

I don't really see these guys making it big. Maybe they might make it to ROH or something. Alot of their stuff is just not my taste.

Gino had the coolest name ever.
The Handsome Halfbreed.
Just imagine Scott Steiner cutting a promo on him!

I don't really see these guys making it big. Maybe they might make it to ROH or something. Alot of their stuff is just not my taste. Whoa. Okay, Chris Adams trained Steve Austin AND practically invented the wrestling "superkick" (where did HBK steal it from?), so don't know why anyone could hate on him. Plus, Gino Hernandez (for years) was on the cusp of superstardom before his untimely demise. He had the look, charisma, and he was a big deal EVERYWHERE. If Vince could've snatched Gino up in 1986 or 1987 (and he would've), he'd be one of the legendary characters of that late-1980s era. He was a much bigger "deal" in the old magazines and on TV than a Ted DiBiase (though not nearly as good of a worker), and was perfect for 1980s WWF. Gino would've been a WWE legend to today's mainstream fan with whatever "Latin Lover" character Vince came up with (or whatever else). He was that good. Hell, WWF could've given him Rick Martel's "The Model" character, and he'd make more money than Martel and his awkward promos. BTW: They'd fit terribly in ROH. Especially w/Gino's awful top rope finisher. But they'd be money just about everywhere else...in any period of time. |

Man, these guys were THE heels of WCCW. Even moreso than the Freebirds. Every time you heard 'Bad to the Bone' playing, you know the boos were gonna start soon.
Remember the angle where Adams was blinded?

Remember the angle where Adams was blinded? That was a great angle. I was really disappointed to hear that the Dynamic Duo match where they got their heads shaved wasn't on the new WCCW dvd. That was a classic. |

That was a classic. I'm pissed that no matches from Gino's VERY brief fued with Tully Blanchard didn't make the cut. It was Gino's last big program in the territory, if I have my facts right, and it was Gino's only run as a face that I remember. Great couple of matches then Gino just kinda....stopped coming. |

I swear I heard somewhere that Gino and Adams were gonna get the call to come to the WWF in 1985 but then it just fell apart. I wish that would have happened. This tag-team was ahead of their time.

Actually, the Gino/Tully feud was in Southwest Championship Wrestling, one of WCCW's main rivals. They were the Dynamic Duo, but Tully turned on Gino after a match. The feud went nowhere because, if memory serves, Gino bolted for World Class at that time. |

I just didn't see his name in any of the extras or matches, and assumed they chose to gloss over a very important person in the company's history. |

Yeah, whereas they left off a lot of the "tragedy" (rightly so, as much of it happened AFTER World Class stints - Brody, Jeep, Rude, Adams), Gino and his death are dealt with for a good measure. |

In the late 80s and early 90s Gino could have been a huge star in WCW and would have been the perfect fit for the four Horseman. He would have been so much better then the Paul Roma choice or even the Sid Vicious choice. As far as him in the wwf ,I think he wouldnt have made as much as a impact as he could have in WCW/NWA.

You wanna see a perfect superkick and a great sell.
Watch the part of the dvd where Adams turns on Kevin. Flat out the best superkick ever!
