Victator Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think height was less important in Bruno's day. It was more about mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRR Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Old people shrink. Look at him next to Andre in the old pictures and you can see it. Plus Bruno was built like a tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yeah, the tone on the NYT obit was too smarmy. Thought the WaPo one was better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Yeah, a far finer obit, with none of the wrestling-bashing snobbery of the Times piece https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/obituaries/bruno-sammartino-longtime-heavyweight-king-of-pro-wrestling-dies-at-82/2018/04/18/8fdea5fc-431c-11e8-ad8f-27a8c409298b_story.html?utm_term=.a2b487116e22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoBaltimore Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I'm still hoping they let KO go to Smackdown to replace Sheamus. Reunite the Kings for a little bit then when it's time to be full-on trainer at the Performance Center he can go back to that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm just thinking about Sheamus's neck issues. At one point it sounded like he didn't have much longer before having to retire. If that improved then by all means go Freebird style.

tbarrie Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 On that note, did they ever explain why New Day was allowed to use the Freebird Rule? If not, does that bother anybody else as much as it does me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm holding out hope my fantasy booking of the Bar breakup becomes reality with Sheamus turning around right into a rolling elbow that would make Misawa weep tears of joy from the heavens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Koloff was a tank in those days, but if you look at his billed weight and height, he would have been somehow more massive than Brock Lesnar. And that's assuming Brock's stats are legit.
