The Teacher-Superstars Profile#35

 Dominic DeNucci

Real name: Dominic Nucciarone

Home: Pittsburgh, PA

Membership: Superstars, the Bravo Brothers

A.K.A.: Dominic Bravo, Masked Marvel, Black Death

Finisher: Airplane Spin

Background: Sometime we're known more for our failures than our successes. 

Dominic was inspired by Bruno Sammartino. Much like his fellow countryman, he sought to master every field. He tried the masked hero bit for a while but he found his calling more in the lab than anywhere else.

You see Dominic had the idea that there multiple earths. Same planet but different frequency. Of course scientists and science fiction writers had the idea before, but Dominic could prove it. 

He assembled a team to help him with funding from Vince McMahon, Sr. He built the first Gagne Gate, a portal to another world. Everything would have been perfect, but his intern Mick Foley stepped onto the portal and went into a coma (See THREE FACES OF FOLEY). 

Disappointed, the entire project was shut down. Another one of his interns, Shane Douglas, would start the project up again a decade later, but that is recounted elsewhere. 

As for the man himself, he was quietly retired, sending the rest of his life lecturing and occasionally working for smaller companies.
