His list of opponents in February 1982 included Jerry Valiant, Billy Howard, Larry Dwyer, Gene Lewis (AKA Cousin Luke in The WWF), Jerry Brown and Dewey Robertson (AKA The Missing Link) and Hernandez and Robertson wrestled together as a tag team in February 1982 as well.

In March 1982, Hercules had wrestled with Rufus R. Jones and Bulldog Bob Brown in a six-man tag team match, and he wrestled "Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal (not Steve/William Regal of The WWF and WCW) and Eddie Gilbert (before he was "Hot Stuff") among others.
