The Living Legend



I only knew Bruno Sammartino as a legend, a phantom who towered over wrestling from a time before I was born. I really had no real reason to get emotional during this video, but last night, I got goosebumps watching it. WWE has an excellent production department, but they can't elicit chills just through smoke and mirrors. They had to have had a lot material to work with. Even without having seen him firsthand, I know that the Hall of Fame was an empty gesture without the Living Legend enshrined within it.
