Bruno Sammartino Passes away

He always seemed like a good dude...like he had more values than most, in a business that didn't always support that type of personality. For him to accomplish what he did, and do it with dignity, and not change to be something he wasn't, is pretty impressive. RIP champ.

If there's any classic tournament or battle royal named after someone, it's Bruno!

 

I'd say, maybe have it be something unconventionally obscure...like an award for people who have a title reign for 300+ days. Make it something that only happens once in a while. He deserves that much.

I just saw Yahoo also has something on him. That wasn't there a couple of hours ago.

 

This guy held onto the WWF's top belt for eight whole years without ever losing it. That is damn impressive regardless of whether it's real or not, and certainly a feat that will NEVER be approached in any company.

Not only that, but he's been one of the top draws in the NY area. Didn't McMahon Sr. or another promoter fear riot from the fans when Bruno lost the belt?

 

AND, despite being old in the 80s, he still took on a group of football players, and with Iron Sheik (?), kicked their asses. Pretty impressive.
