Bruno Sammartino WWE Hall of Fame Induction

My husband & Bruno Sammartino

 

I thought I'd just write my opinion on the induction

of Bruno Sammartino into the WWE Hall of Fame 2013.

 

On one hand I'm thrilled that Bruno is getting inducted. He's a

wrestling legend that paved the way for so many of today's

stars. He's a fellow Pittsburgher and all around nice guy. So

both my husband & myself were genuinely excited to hear the

induction news that we'd been hoping for for a few years now.

Once the news came out that Bruno had "buried the hatchet"

with the WWE a lot of other news came out as well...News

that I found to be upsetting as a fan of Bruno.

 

The news that's circulating throughout the wrestling websites is

that this is purely a business venture for Bruno. That he only

agreed to be inducted after the WWE agreed to his 1 million

dollar request. That fee was stated as being the same amount

a WWE big name star gets at Wrestlemania for actually

wrestling. Meanwhile Bruno is being interview and saying

what an honor it is to be honored?

 

I know that Bruno claims that Vince McMahon owes him

money. Maybe he does. And I know that part of the million

dollars is also for the rights to produce a video collection,

have Bruno make some appearances on the show, etc..

I guess what's bothering me is that it just appears that

Bruno only did it for the money; not because it's something

his fans have been wishing for, not because it's a true honor,

 but because they agreed to pay him a large chunk of cash.

And it's hard to believe him when he's saying on video

what an honor it is knowing that  the WWE has been

begging him for years to be inducted and that he only

caved to the tune of  a million bucks.  I  suppose it

proves anyone can be bought including Bruno Sammartino.

I really hope I'm wrong about the whole situation.. I

really like Bruno, both as a wrestler and a person!

 

One last closing thought: all the wrestling sites are talking of a

Bruno Sammartino movie, the story of his life, that's been

written that WWE may now produce. They are saying that this

will be the very first movie about Bruno's life. That's a false

statement. This is the first movie ever made about Bruno:
