If Gino interfered, I'd guess the match happened in Houston.
Probably the following match.
3/26/82 Houston
AWA Champion Nick Bockwinkel beat Tommy Rich
Then Gino is wrestling Tommy on a card several weeks later.
5/14/82 Houston
Junkyard Dog beat AWA Champion Nick Bockwinkel on a 3rd fall dq
Gino Hernandez beat Tommy Rich
Wahoo McDaniel beat Tully Blanchard
Manny Fernandez ddq Mil Mascaras
Jimmy Golden & Ken Lucas & Ricky Morton & Scott Casey beat Billy Graham & Bob Sweetan & Killer Brooks & Hacksaw Duggan
Bob Sweetan beat Ken Lucas
Billy Graham beat Jimmy Golden
Scott Casey beat Killer Brooks
Hacksaw Duggan beat Ricky Morton
Boesch used Rich quite a bit in the early 80s, and this was before most of the area had cable.
