WWE Hall Of Famer Bruno Sammartino Dies At 82 « CBS Pittsburgh

Bruno Sammartino was my favorite wrestler back in the olden days when I was growing up, he was the WWWF champion longer than any other wrestler. I really don’t know what to say right now but I guess you would have had to be old enough to remember him in his heyday not just as a wrestler but an ambassador for the city of Pittsburgh.

My husband is a huge fan. I told him when I found out. He’s sad about it.

Bruno had an amazing and scary start in life, and his determination to succeed should be a beacon for all.

Thanks for posting this. I first saw him on TV is the 1960s. I hate to say this, but I didn't realise that he was still alive in 2018.

Damn.

At least we still have Kurt Angle to carry the torch.

he always seemed so humble. that is so unusual for the world of wrestling, as much as I've seen of it.
but then when he was big, it was a different kind of world stage.

I've heard so much good about him over the years. The tributes I read on the PG are really heartfelt.
