Some years ago a man in Hawaii had a son named Pete Hernandez. When his son was two the father thought the kid looked like his favorite wrestler Bruno Sammartino. Nick named the kid "Bruno". Today everyone knows the kid as Bruno Mars.

82 for a professional wrestler is like 150 for a normal man. When I was growing up in Philadelphia they reported the wrestling results in the sports section. Bruno never lost. If your 13 or 14 and it's in the sports section you believe the results were real. I was going to Liberty Bell Park Racetrack in the mid seventies and there was a group of guys I hung around with and one guy refused to believe they were staged. No one could convince the guy that Bruno won in a staged match. It was a great era for wrestling because people like that existed.

Well said. I think we all knew someone like that. I grew up around 30 miles from Pittsburgh. It's amazing how popular Bruno was back then
