Charles Eugene Wolfe Jr. (August 8, 1957 â€" February 2, 1986) was an

American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name, Gino

Hernandez. He is best known for his appearances with the Dallas,

Texas-based promotion World Class Championship Wrestling between 1976

and 1986. Hernandez's death was initially ruled a homicide case, but

police later concluded that he had died of a drug overdose.As a

rookie, babyface wrestler in Ed Farhat's Big Time Wrestling promotion

in Detroit, "Gino Hernandez" was a very young, fresh-faced performer

who got over with female fans due to his long black hair, and good

looks. He won Big Time's top title (its version of the NWA United

States Heavyweight Championship) by defeating "Bulldog" Don Kent.

During this time, Wolfe also wrestled at least one match for WWE

forerunner the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF). Gino lost the

(Detroit) U.S. Title to his real-life boss: The Sheik (Big Time

Wrestling owner and booker Eddie Farhat's 'Psycho-Arab' heel

persona).Wolfe's Gino character -- nicknamed "The Handsome Halfbreed"

-- started wrestling in 1975 in the San Antonio, Texas wrestling

territory, Southwest Championship Wrestling (SCW), after being trained

by Jose Lothario. He was initially in a tag-team with Lothario, then

turned into a singles act via a "protege vs. mentor" storyline. The

storyline feud with Lothario culminated in a "hair vs. hair match",

which Hernandez lost -- having his head shaved in the ring, as a

result.In the late-1970s and early-1980s, Gino worked for Dallas-based

territory, World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) (called NWA Big

Time Wrestling, at the time). The highlight was a storyline feud with

David Von Erich over the NWA Texas Heavyweight Championship, which

Gino won and lost back to David.
