82 for a professional wrestler is like 150 for a normal man. When I was growing up in Philadelphia they reported the wrestling results in the sports section. Bruno never lost. If your 13 or 14 and it's in the sports section you believe the results were real. I was going to Liberty Bell Park Racetrack in the mid seventies and there was a group of guys I hung around with and one guy refused to believe they were staged. No one could convince the guy that Bruno won in a staged match. It was a great era for wrestling because people like that existed.
I posted this in another thread last week... Huge Fan of his growing up, he was like a Hero to me from age 7 -10
When My Brother took me to MSG to see one of his Championship matches vs. Big Bob Duncan, we were 2nd row to ringside.
Saw Duncan take something out of his trunks, which looked like a blade of some kind, I was so upset that i found out the whole thing was Fake.
Still stayed a Fan years later, but knowing it was All BS, I just never felt the same about it.
I also met Bruno at a card show and got his autograph picture of him, which is long gone/lost.
he was still my Favorite wrestler of all time because those days was way before all of the special effects/ and huge promos
My 2nd favorite of all time, ivan putski
RIP Bruno
