Jesse Hernandez is the promoter
and owner of Empire Wrestling Federation. Jesse takes pride in
entertaining his fans by bringing together action packed wrestling
events, dealing with various Community Centers, High Schools and
Churches and bringing forth clean entertainment for the whole family.
Jesse Hernandez also helps former WWE Superstar Ted DiBiase with events
Ted takes to various Churches throughout the West Coast. One of the
greatest enjoyment Jesse shares with some of his students and wrestlers
is the yearly Athletes International Ministries Conference at Phoenix
First Assembly of God Church. Where many athletes from various sports
gather each year in the month of June. The growth of wrestling
personalities is incredible as names such as Sting, "Road Warrior"
Animal, Shawn Michael's. Buff Bagwell, Greg The Hammer Valentine, and so
many others participate.
In the eighties Jesse Hernandez, along with "The
Great Goliath" and Juan Hernandez, trained individuals such as Bobby
Bradley, "Bulldog" Sampson, Rocky Lee Esters, Tim Patterson, Mike
Lozanski and many more! Chris Jericho made a special point of coming to
the San Bernardino school to personally get in the ring with Jesse,
before heading down to Mexico. He knew where to go for excellent
training and wanted to improve his skills in the Mexican Lucha Libre
style of wrestling. Louie Spicolli (R.I.P.) once said that he learned
the technical aspects of wrestling from Jesse. Mic Tierney was
personally taught by Jesse Hernandez before moving on to Germany and
into a WWE development contract. Tom Howard was another wrestler Jesse
got in the ring with and personally got him a contract with Mexico's
AAA, where Tom worked as "K.G.B. The Supreme Soviet" and Rico Costantino,
the WWE's current superstar got his start with Jesse as well.
It was Jesse Hernandez who got in the ring with
current independent wrestlers such as Krazy K.C., Suicide Kid, Frankie
Kazarian, Vizzion, Johnny Dynamite, Ragin Dawg, Ghetto Psycho Big "Q",
Sun Warrior, Moses Grimm, Keiji Sakoda, Los Cubanitos (AKA The Havana
Pitbulls), Aggravated Assault, Big Q, Iceman John Black, Hurricane
Havana, Alex Pincheck, Vizzion, Handsome Johnny Starr, Sexy Starrlitt,
Cruiser Eddie Williams, Brawler Bo Cooper, skateboard sensation and
wrestler Mike Vallely plus many others that are using the abilities
Jesse Hernandez taught them. Jesse has always put his students first and
has always had the goal of not keeping them in the EWF for his gain, but
giving them the experience and skills necessary to go on to bigger
promotions and/or opportunities. In the case of the Suicide Kid, Jesse
personally arranged meetings with movie producers and he is now involved
in major projects and is the subject of a documentary currently making
the rounds at film festivals Internationally. The Suicide Kid, Mikey
Henderson, also has wrestled at both WWE and WCW local shows. Rico
Costantino's WWE Development Contract was personally attributed to Jesse
due to the training and guidance he provided.
Jesse Hernandez is and will
always be proud of his students, regardless of which promotion they're
currently associated with. "Promoting the students and the sport is what
it's all about," says Jesse.
