This is yet another great Rock and Rolls match. Gino is such an awesome cocksucker heel, that he adds a ton to you standard R+R's match. Gino's missed back elbow is especially awesome. DVD selection

Man, when I got Barnett's DVD set a couple of years back, I did not dig this match at all. Maybe after all of the wrestling I have seen over the last couple of years will change my mind or it may reinforce how underwhelmed I was by it all.

I thought this was a solid tag match. Gino had such charisma. I loved how Doc was taking Morton down and Gino was keeping score amateur style. Loved how Morton turned the tables on both guys for a cool payback spot. Plus the stoogeing from Gino and Doc was well done here. I liked the match, loved the finsh, Morton's FIP was great as usual. I just felt the heels just didn't bring enough to the table to make this a great match; but I would say it's a good match. If it was the Dynamic Duo we would probaly would have had that great match. If Doc and Gino had teamed for 6 months together I think they would have gotten this match into the great range. Overall, it was a good match which has a good shot at making a disk.

Mid-South Tag Titles: The Rock n Roll Express (Robert Gibson & Ricky Morton) © vs. “Gorgeous” Gino Hernandez & “Dr. Death” Steve Williams (3/31/85)

 

This is from Tulsa. RnR dominate the early part of the match with Gino but Doc tags in and it changes as he just throws Morton around like a ragdoll until Morton sneaks in an O’Connor Roll then hits armdrags on both heels sending them to the floor. Doc would finally get Morton in their corner and tagged Gino in who completely took control hitting Morton with elbows and acted like the biggest cocksucker by going “WHOOOOOOO” after every one. Doc would tag in and the beating of Morton continued as Doc hit 3 straight backbreakers for a nearfall then followed up with a bearhug. Gino tagged in and continue the onslaught until he missed his patended diving back elbow off the top rope followed up by a clash of heads with Morton falling near his corner but Gino got the tag to Doc who ran over to cut Morton off. Doc kept the offense going but missed a running shoulderblock into the corner and Morton got the hot tag on Gibson who cleaned house like he always does. Of course we have a 4-way brawl with Morton getting an O’Connor Roll on Gino for the win. This was a fine match but I’m not sure if it is nomination material or not.

I am leaning more towards Kris than Phil here. This will have to be a Loss tiebreaker.

I wouldn't go to the wall for it, we will have plenty of Gino on the World Class set. I nominated alot of borderline stuff just to get some discussion about it

I agree total borderline stuff here.

OK, shoe, but which way do you lean?

I would lean toward no. Gino Hernandez always came off to me as J.T. Smith with a really great heel character. Love him as a performer, especially when teaming with Adams, but outside of that, I don't care for him at all. I don't need a wrestler to have a ton of finesse, but man, what a sloppy wrestler.

I'd go no on this match.

Okay I think we can bury this match, RIP GINO

Gino will be well represented later in the project

Well, if anything, his tribute video and bad to the Bone video will be on there.
