Wasn't Gino Hernandez among that bunch also? He teamed with Tully Blanchard pre WCCW.

Gino gravitated between Southwest, Florida and Mexico, I think. The talented guys like him could pretty much go where they liked in those days (pre-Vince) so long as their characters got over. Now their respective promotions try to bind them with non-competition clauses six months out so the wrestlers don't get to ride on the public's supposedly short term memories. This reeks of insecure *ssholery to me, especially considering the tennuous and wearing career path these guys go through. Vince just cut the whole Duddley crew but denied them their known ring-names despite the fact they held them before meeting him. The Dudley Boys are now Team 3-D while Spike has to wrestle under his real name.

While true talent will survive Vince McMahon's monstrous inhamanity and insensitivity will be his lasting legacy to an industry he held in his hands. Despite all of his wealth I would never want to be him.
