Sergio Seravia was also seen on the undercard and on television in Amarillo in the early 1970s, using the name of Tony Romano, though he was no relation to the Tony Romano of some time earlier who died from a heart attack after a wrestling match.
As Sergio, he came into Arizona in the era where Kurt Von Steiger was promoting and expected a better push than he received in Texas. Ge did not really get it, as again he was designated to television and the lower card at house shows.
"I am not impressed by him," remarked Bobby Mayne (Jaggers) as he did guest commentary and watched Sergio make his debut, "First of all, I can't even pronounce his name!"
Seravia ended up facing Mayne in a number of bouts and lost all of them for as far as I ever remember. He also met Mayne's partner, Jay Dillon and didn't do much better.
Occasionally, he defeated some fellow mid-card wrestler such as Spike Jones, The Hornets, Ali Bey or Paul Harvey. When faced with the upper riser, however, he didn't do so well. Ge was also pinned by Chris Colt, Ron Dupree and Jimmy Valentine.
Sergio eventually headed out of Arizona and emerged back in Texas for a short time. After that, like with so many others, I have no idea what became of him.
