Career
At the beginning of Gino Hernandez' career, he wrestled as a rookie babyface for The Sheik's Big Time Wrestling out of Detroit. Gino was a fresh faced good looking young inexperienced wrestler who got over with the female fans with his long black hair and his good looks. He won the United States Heavyweight Championship in the Detroit area by defeating Bulldog Don Kent. Gino also wrestled at least one match around this time in the WWWF. Gino eventually lost his United States Heavyweight Championship to the man who ruled Detroit for many years: The Sheik (promoter Eddie Farhat's in-ring Psycho-Arab heel persona).
