The greatest what if story in wrestling is what would have happened if David had won the NWA belt in 1984 from Flair as was the plan. The first reign might have lasted a few months with David defending against the likes of Windham, Dusty and all the top contenders outside of Texas. In Texas he would probably have had great matches against Gino, who would have been much like what Tully was to Flair in 1984. Unfortunately, we will never know because of David's untimely passing.
Its been said that Fritz took a liking to a young Mark Calloway, because he resembled his late son David, looking here at young David he looks like a young Mark Calloway.
Yeah, while it may be scripted, they are still slamming each other, and a lot of times they are REALLY hitting each other. Regardless of being scripted, I daresay MOST of us would NOT do too well in a streetfight against any of these Wrestlers!
@@texasrockshillcountry6574 This was a time when wrestling "got real" a lot of the time, in the ring, where real personal feelings amongst the men, were brought into the ring, and that's where the matches were wrestled a bit more stiff with holds, and hits....Because it was a time, where MEN were still ALLOWED to be MEN.... it's what the pansys would refer to "politically incorrect" in society today....Wrestling back then was more, barbaric.....it's also why it was actually enjoyable to watch, today's product is literally, not worth watching....give me 70s to mid 80s wrestling any day, it was the best....
This territory had lot to do with world class championship wrestling. All wrestlers eventually came to Dallas. Even referees worked here and world class.
In Texas the state was an NWA affiliate and the Promoters had talent sharing agreements prior to Jack Atkinson AKA Fritz Von Erich The talent sharing agreement went back to the days of Morris Seigal (Houston) & Dallas promoter Ed McLemore
I still have a photo my uncle took in '81(i was 12) of me with a cardboard version of the texas heavyweight title.hard to believe me and my step-brother used kill each other over it.
To jeff kendall-channel11,paul boech,wccw & 1919 caroline st. Was as good as it got here for a 11-yr. Old during the summer,along with the astrodome!!!
Two guys that easilyncoild have had multiple runs with the NWA world title. They both would have ecen done well in the wwf of the eighties too. I personally think Gino was an even better in ring worker than David. Gino's promos were fantastic.
Two stars that left us way too soon,great match!
Absolutely, R.I.P. David & Gino.

Shame we never got to see Gino reach his full potential! What a talent!!
I always wondered how he ben in wwe. I bet Vince McMahon would pakage him like rick Martel. Some kind model or millionaire type of heel.
@@diablo666541agree
Was only 11 years old when these 2 Legends Tangled. Gone way 2 soon. RIP.

The Prophet of Rage Yes I always thought he resembled David too.
Just heard about recently on Joe Rogan podcast. He was interviewing Mark Calloway.
wow....never heard that before, but I see what he's talking about
@@pc8679 Joe Rogan is Human waste
Aside from tall and red hair nothing
David was young n skinny back then . gino as well . man imagine how they could be in today's wrestling.
David could easily have gone 270, 280 pounds
I miss the time in my life when I thought that this was real.
Just like me...
Thank. John stousell n Vince McMahon Jr for that . thank dr d David Schultz for slap stousell .

It’s a shame David and Gino couldn’t wrestle in Dallas in 1984 especially with David having the NWA title.Both wrestlers would’ve been more seasoned.
That would have been a WAR!
Gino made a GREAT heel! Almost Flair level!
Both were great talents wrestling in Dallas would not make Both better wrestling in Dallas would have given David the hometown advantage
@@bentonmckinney5454 The territory was still hot in 1984 and 1985.
David VonErich never won the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship.
In Texas the state was an NWA affiliate and the Promoters had talent sharing agreements prior to Jack Atkinson AKA Fritz Von Erich

Dallas was booking office
remember the houston wrestling would alternate sat, nites on ktvt ch 11 with wccw
2 legends.
I can't believe I used to watch this stuff 😆. It was entertaining as little kid though.....
I still have a photo my uncle took in '81(i was 12) of me with a cardboard version of the texas heavyweight title.hard to believe me and my step-brother used kill each other over it.
2 great stArs that would of been so much more, had they lived
To jeff kendall-channel11,paul boech,wccw & 1919 caroline st. Was as good as it got here for a 11-yr. Old during the summer,along with the astrodome!!!
2 legendary wrestlers from texas
Classic....
Two HOF level talents gone too soon.
Both Wrestlers died in February, David 1984 and Gino 1986.
Was this in Paul Boshe's Houston
Danny McShain, the referee looks like he was 95. Moves like a half dead snail.
Well he was in his 60's and considering he was a wrestler for over 30 years , taking bumps , it's not that surprising he isn't so quick in the ring
WCCW（World Class Championship Wrestling）
Hr time limit never knew went past 45 min
Two guys that easilyncoild have had multiple runs with the NWA world title. They both would have ecen done well in the wwf of the eighties too. I personally think Gino was an even better in ring worker than David. Gino's promos were fantastic.
Thats some bull.. the evidence of outside interference is on his face.. Gino got screwed.. red should be fired
He was found dead of a possible coke od or murder
Who that refree. Looks like old ric flair .
Some one call black lives matter Conway used word boy on handsome halfbreed lol!!!!
Gino never had finish move David had iron claw .i never seen gino Hernandez use a finisher.
Backwards elbow drop off the second rope
He also used the Russian Leg Sweep as well
I don't a finish move was as prevalent back then.
Both David and Gino gave up there lives to hard drugs sadely.
David died of blood poisoning from sepsis not drugs. Drugs had zero to do with his death.
David didn’t die from drugs. He died because he ruptured his small intestine and it gave him a heart attack.
