1st round #3 overall
Gino Hernandez (5’ 11’’)– WR – That “other” College
"The Handsome Halfbreed" started wrestling in 1975 in Southwest Championship Wrestling (SCW) after being trained by Jose Lothario. He formed a team with Lothario and eventually turned on him, starting a feud that saw Hernandez lose his hair to Lothario as the result of a hair vs. hair match.
Gino loved living the fast life in the fast lane. Much like his persona in the ring, Gino was living the high life in social settings away from the ring as well. Hernandez was often seen in the trendiest nightclubs, accompanying any woman he fancied (he dated Hollywood bombshell Farrah Fawcett for a time in the '80s), all the while exuding wealth and class for fans and friends alike to see.
Had all the tools to make an extremely successful career. Had Mike skills comparable to Flair, Jericho, and the Rock. Had the wrestling background due to his amateur time at Spring Branch High School in Houston. But his lack of discipline made him a target for the dark side of the ring.
