If any person could make pro 'rasslin respectable, it is former world chamption Bruno Sammartino.
Well, maybe not with respect to the modern farce into which Studio Wrestling has devolved. At a gathering with today's pro 'rasslers, even spotting most of them 40 to 50 years, Bruno (and Jumpin' Johnny) would be men among girls.
Bruno Sammartino is part of a generation of Pittsburgh characters -- such as Porky "Daddio of the Radio" Chedwick,
Angelo "World's Longest-Serving Bartender" Cammarata, Bill "The Human Pivot" Mazeroski, Wendy "Party Line" King, Cyril "Celebrity Pathologist" Wecht and Arnold "Arnie's Army" Palmer -- everyone should try to meet at least once.
