Kevin Von Erich vs Gino Hernandez (January 11, 1980) 

Nope. Kevin wore boots for the first 5-6 years of his career. It wasn't until late 82 when he started wrestling barefoot. There's footage of Kevin wrestling in Georgia and St. Louis in boots

@@RayNDeere almost as trippy as gino with long blonde hair

Yeah, he forgot his boots one night, and it wasn't in any way, shape or form to copy Jimmy Snuka who was super over in 82 😉

No

Or singer Rod Stewart.

Richard Walsh lol

This was a storyline where Gino turned on his mentor Jose Lothario and became Gorgeous Gino. Jose went on to beat Gino in a hair vs. hair match and shaved his blonde locks.

Jesus I thought Gino was Ric there for a second. I had to check the title twice to make sure.

Fritz held the NWA booking office. So Paul would call Fritz for talent. He had some mainstays like Gino, but most talent came from Dallas.

Actually there were several territories in Texas: Dallas (Fritz), San Antonio (Joe Blanchard), El Paso (Gory Guerrero), Amarillo (Funks) and Houston (Paul Boesch). Houston was unique where it didn't have its own champions. The other territories would send their champs for shows, plus the NWA and AWA world titles were defended at shows. Gino worked a lot in San Antonio (where he teamed with Tully Blanchard as the original Dynamic Duo), but because Paul Boesch was a big booster of Gino led to rumors that he was actually Gino's father. Paul took Gino's death very hard.

@@RayNDeere wrong Dallas was the booking office when Paul became independent from Dallas the promotion went South and eventually folded

@@danielmoore2320 Okay, so basically what ran in San Antonio and El Paso ran through Fritz in Dallas

@@RayNDeere yes pretty much except for Amarillo that was strictly run by the Funks Gary Hart best explains it in his book that's a must-read for all old time wrestling fans
