• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (April 18, 2018) – Old School WWF Legend Passed Away
On this day in 2018, we lost Old School WWF Legend “The Living Legend” Bruno Sammartino at the age of 82 due to heart problems.
During his 2 reigns as WWWF World Heavyweight Champion, Bruno held the belt for 11 years combined, a record that still stands and it’s safe to say that it will never be duplicated.
Bruno wrestled for Vince McMahon Sr.’s WWWF (later WWF) from 1959 until 1981, and later as a part timer for Vince McMahon Jr.’s World Wrestling Federation from 1984 till 1987.
He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 by his close personal friend Arnold Schwarzenegger.
† REST IN PEACE BRUNO SAMMARTINO
