Reviews  of the POWAH that is The Human Anvil!

It doesn’t seem like there’ll be a second season for Stan Lee’s Superhumans, so consider this your one chance to meet people like Boston native John Ferraro, who takes sledgehammer blows off his skull as if feathers were landing on his dome. Makes those Jackass guys look like a bunch of nancy-boys
 Mark Barone   COMPLEX INTERNET MAGAZINE!

What about this next incredible character? Daniel is making his way to Boston to meet a man who is rumored to have an indestructible skull!-
STAN LEE

I've come to Boston to meet a man who claims to have a real- life power of indestructibility just like the Incredible Hulk!
 
Daniel Browning Smith-host of STAN LEE'S SUPERHUMANS!

Gino's physical and mental toughness is literally mind- blowing, but he should be warned many comic books heroes have found, to their regret, that even super strength has it's limits!-STAN LEE!

That guy GINO MARTINO IS F$$@@^$CKING  CRAZY!!!

COUNTRY FRIED HOME VIDEOS

We had two fantastic shows with top notch talent & watching Gino Martino break cinder blocks over his head via a sledgehammer at the Fan Convention, was amazing!!

ERNIE TODD - PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL WRESTLING ALLIANCE!!

Quentin Michaels lead his Michaels Incorporated contingent from NWA New England to ringside. Michaels said they came to Wildside to make a great impression. They did this crazy ass carny stunt where Gino Martino, billed as having the hardest head in wrestling, put a cinder block on top of his head and Michaels busted it with a sledgehammer.

Larry Goodman NWA Wildside tv report

I've been following the progress of Gino Martino here in NWA On Fire. The "Coney Island Strongman" is billed as the man with the world's hardest head. I don't think anyone would dispute that. The accomplished strongman holds records for having driven nails through two by fours with his forehead an has had bowling balls dropped on his skull from nearly 10 feet.  And, not only lives to tell about it, but goes on to destroy the opponents NWA match-makers put in his path.  They say, "only the tough survive".  Well, Mr. Martino is not only surviving, he's thriving here in NWA On Fire.
 
LONG TIME NEW ENGLAND WRESTLING COMMENTATOR BRIAN WEBSTER FOR NWA ON FIRE!
 
 
 

I wanted to send out my personal congratulations to the Man With The Hardest Head In The World, the Coney Island Strongman, Gino Martino.  The New England wrestling staple is a 2009 inductee into the New England Professional Wrestling Hall Of Fame.  With all his accomplishments, I cannot think of a more fitting honor for the tumultuous  guy.
