Sad to hear. 82 is not bad at all for a wrestler, though.

Bruno was definitely the standard for WWWF champions before Hogan came on the scene. He held the World Title for over 11 years during two reigns. I remember him best as Vince's color guy on Superstars of Wrestling when I started watching on 1985. Bruno was known as The Living Legend, and he was very well known in the Northeast even to people who had never watched wrestling. RIP Bruno Sammartino.

Very Sad to here. He is THE LEGEND in wrestling. Without Bruno there would have been no Hogan No Stone cold and No Rocky Miavia.
