I am the powerhouse performer known
as the “Extreme Strongman”: The man with the hardest skull in the world. I do demonstrations of death defying
feats of mental and physical toughness, not to mention explosive power. I perform a wide array of incredible strength
feats which include the use of sledge hammers, jack hammers, bowling balls, beds of barbed wire, and beds
of nails. I am a certified master of Iron Chi Kung, an elite level cement breaking champion, and power lifter
who has benched pressed in the excess 550 pounds and curled with
dumbbells over 140 pounds. I’ve performed insane exhibitions in front of crowds throughout the US and Canada. I’ve appeared
on CMT’S Country Fried Home Videos having a cement block jack hammered of my Iron Skull. I’m not only a
world record setter and breaker but a professional wrestler with 12 years of experience. I was internationally ranked
as a professional wrestler in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005. I prefer wrestling my opponents in hardcore events
that involve barbed wire, fire, thumb tacks and broken glass. My
favorite pro wrestling favorite move is a skull shattering head
butt. Would you expect anything different?

SOME RECENT COMMENTS ON MY DEMOS!!!!!
"The convention offered a bit of everything to fans. Aside from stellar matches which
had the crowd on its feet several times, a strong man performance by Boston madman Gino Martino brought the convention back
to the early carney days of pro wrestling, when he proved the toughness of his skull and his back by having cinder blocks
repeatedly smashed on top of both with a 60-pound sledgehammer"
LIAM PHILIPS -CANADIAN SLAM WRESTLING ARTICLE

"It's mind over matter! When your outta your mind, It Just don't MATTER!
Qoute of the year!
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!!

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.
