Posted November 4, 200817 yr comment_5435545 4. Kerry Von Erich vs Gino Hernandez Gino is great at working the crowd into a frenzy. I thought the work was solid, and both wrestlers work well with one another Gino's stalling is so great.. Gino's facials are tremendous. The crowd reactions were huge and made this match feel special. It's a shame these wrestlers are used to set up Nikola and Stella Mae. I hated the finish, but the work was good enough to go forward. Low end nomination.
November 4, 200817 yr comment_5435547 “Modern Day Warrior” Kerry Von Erich vs. “Handsome Halfbreed” Gino Hernandez (9/7/84) Gino again is awesome here garnering heel heat as the fans hate his guts. Kerry would get Gino in a backslide early on for a nearfall that would send Gino to the floor to regroup but when he got back into the ring Kerry grounded him and started working on his left arm before Gino dropped to the floor again. Gino would soon take advantage of Kerry missing a running shoulderblock into the corner and worked Kerry over really good. Kerry would fire some punches though to make a comeback by tieing Gino up in the ropes but Gino would break free and tossed Kerry to the floor. Kerry would get a sunset flip off the apron though as he came in for a nearfall before going for the iron claw. Gino would counter out of it twice and Kerry started throwing bombs on Gino who was selling this like a fucking champ. Kerry would put Gino in a bearhug as Stella Mae showed up to confront Nicola and as this happens Gino would break free throwing Kerry to the floor then threw him over the top rope for a DQ. Gino would then hold up Stella Mae but Kerry would make the save. I hate this fucking angle and it ruined a good match. Not a nomination.
December 10, 200916 yr comment_5446327 I am a Stella Mae defender, but I am really not a defender of matches where the wrestlers involved get booked to play second fiddle to a separate angle. I can see what they were going for, and how the Gino/Von Erichs feud connects with the Gino/Stella Mae feud...I just didn't think this worked. But I agree with shoe that the body of the match was strong. Kerry wasn't afraid to take it to Gino, and Gino was such a great arrogant schmuck. I'll call it a low-end nom. [Romdam 31]
