Ray Fernandez, known in the wrestling world as "Hercules" Hernandez, passed away Saturday in his sleep. He was 46.
Hercules, who began wrestling in 1979, wrestled extensively for promotions such as Mid South and Smokey Mountain. He became most famous in the late 1980's, when he worked in the WWF.
His first major match was against Ricky The Dragon Steamboat at WrestleMania 2, and enjoyed a singles career in the company as a mid-card heel performer.
He turned 'face' in 1988 and battled King Haku at WrestleMania V in Atlantic City. Fernandez then formed a team with Paul Roma in the early 1990's known as Power and Glory. He left the company in 1992 with his final appearance on in the WWF Royal Rumble.
Fernandez went over to WCW for a brief stint as Super Invader before wrestling in Japan.
