On Friday, WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino will be honored in his hometown of Pittsburgh as they recognize the 50th anniversary of his first WWWF Title victory on May 17, 1963.

Sammartino lost track of the original title belt he won from Rogers, but the belt was recently discovered and presented to him over WrestleMania weekend.
