During Monday night’s episode of Table for 3, Bruno Sammartino revealed why his long run with the WWE title ended. Here is what he had to say…
“Close to working that schedule for eight years, I told Vince McMahon Sr., you better get somebody. My body is broke. Man, I was hurting from head to toe. And, eventually he did, and I felt bad because he got a guy that I respected very much as a performer. It was Ivan Koloff. I suggested to Vince, I thought Ivan Koloff would be great, because we had done great business all over. Vince said to me, ‘What do you think?’ I said, I think Ivan, I don’t know for how long, Koloff had done so well. I told Vince, I think this guy could carry it.”
Also on Monday night’s WWE Table for 3, Bruno Sammartino spoke about moving to the US as a child, and how being bullied led him to the gym…
