Bruno Sammartino Dies at 82

Postby Hanley! » Apr 18, '18, 4:21 pm

There are no details as to the cause of death yet, but there are reports that he had been in hospital for the last couple of months. 82 isn't a bad age for such a prolific wrestler, but this is still a shame.

I'm glad that he was able to reconcile with WWE for long enough to get his Hall of Fame moment while he was still alive. The Hall of Fame didn't mean much without him in it.

RIP Bruno.

I was very sad to hear this news yesterday. Not only is he a super legend but I have a more personal connection to this. My sister had been dating and living with Bruno's nephew for over half a decade, but we tragically lost him after a freak surgical accident last autumn. I always joked to them about when they got married, I'd finally be able to meet Bruno.

RIP to both Sammartinos
