theone 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2008 No, I just know that until Hogan came along, Bruno was pretty much the biggest star in wrestling. no, that would have been Andre. and being a big star has zero to do with working ability which Sammartino lacked compared most other "greats" (you know when Ric Flair calls you out on your work, you're highly overrated) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andre might've been, but even that is debatable. Unless people actually believe Hogan's lie about Hogan/Andre sold out Shea, when in fact Bruno/Zybysko was the draw.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2008 I thought Bruno did a west coast stint after losing to Koloff in 1971. In fact the 1972 match of the year from PWI was a battle royal he won in LA. No clue if he drew though, anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
