Funk, I hate to sound like a hata, but you know how many people here have probably seen a Sammartino match?

I dunno, but he was the first guy that popped into my head. Next was Chris Harris, but he can't hold Bruno's jock.

[DaveWadding]

well, no shit, but...c'mon.

Consistently remained a draw for the company, and put on ***** star matches with nearly everyone. Always had great psychology, and could wrestle as well as he could brawl. Also, strong as fuck.

To anyone who hasn't seen Bruno work, try and find any of his matches but these in particular: vs: Harley Race, Killer Kowalski, Gorilla Monsoon, Von Erich and Blassie. Also him and Spiros Arion (sp) worked as a team sometimes in some good matches.

Old wrestling is on tv sometimes. It's good shit, man.

They always had it in Zimbabwe.

Also, if any of you get AWWL, they usually have a classic match to take up 10 to 15 minutes of their program.

I've seen Sammartino matches, but I don't feel that I've seen enough to rate him justly
