Thanks to Alfonso Marimon for this recap:
During a recent interview with Alfonso Marimon of Wrestling365
Talk Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino discussed a variety of topics
including The Ultimate Warrior’s passing, Rey Mysterio and more. Here are some
highlights:
On his return to WWE: “It was good very.. very
good. I sure appreciated the changes they made.” He is very happy that WWE
stopped with the profanity, stating that the WWE toned down “the profanity by
95%” and he also noted how effective the drug testing is and “how it shows”
after all these years.
On The Ultimate Warrior being inducted into the WWE Hall
of Fame: Although he didn’t have the chance to speak to Warrior during
WrestleMania weekend, he did note that when Warrior left the stage, he noticed
that “he was walking not well” and “that when he came to speak he didn’t seem
right.” He felt concerned for him has he was sweating a lot and his limp became
more noticeable.
On a Bruno Sammartino Memorial Battle Royal at
WrestleMania 31: Bruno spoke in depth about his life-sized statue,
how honored he felt seeing it for the first time. He also said as of this time
Triple H nor the WWE has reached out to him about doing anything at WM31. But
did note that “it would be very flattering, why would I object to it,” the door
is wide open for him to be apart of next years WrestleMania.
