Another no contest. Bruno was far more succesful and impactful.

Bruno. Too young to see most of his work, but there's obviously a reason why he was a top draw for decades.

Gotta go with one of the biggest draws of all time, Bruno Sammartino. Never seen much of either, seen much more Roddy Piper. And while Piper main evented the first WrestleMania Bruno is the reason the WWF was big enough for WrestleMania to even be a thing.

Bruno Sammartino. He was a God to the Italian-Americans. He was even brought to the Vatican to meet the Pope. His interviews were tremendous, his matches were full of heat, incredible draw, there's just so much to write about Bruno.
He was even awesome in 86-87 |

I abstained from Piper/Graham because I hadn't seen enough Graham stuff and didn't have time to watch. But this one is easy. I love Hot Rod but Bruno has to get this.
Bruno was fucking incredible across the board and pretty much anything you could want in a wrestler. There aren't many guys in the history of the business you can make a legitimate case for being the GOAT, but Bruno belongs in that discussion. |

Bruno was Hogan before Hogan was Hogan. His impact on the business and sheer drawing power over an extended period of time are unquestionable. Piper is awesome, but he isn't even in the same league as Bruno.

Bruno. Great wrestler and a huge draw, and had an amazing impact on the business.

I'm not voting this round since I haven't watched anything from Bruno, but if I WERE to watch some Bruno stuff, where would you suggest I begin? Preferably stuff available on the Network.

Bruno vs. Zbyszko Showdown at Shea
Bruno gets my vote. Think Roddy's overrated anyways so it wasn't hard. |

One more: Piper/Savage vs Bruno were very hot house show feuds in 86

Sammartino is the hipster douche pick. He was cool before cool was cool. WRONG. Piper is way more entertaining.

Destor no doubt a wrestling uber-hipster.
I'm voting Piper. Not because I think he was a better wrestler (although he was more entertaining as a character) but because I'm a conformist. |

I never was really that much into Piper anyway. I did enjoy that Wrestlemania 8 match with Bret, but that's about it.

Sammartino may not be known as a technical marvel, but what a fucking worker. I'm glad that with the Network and the internet, people are getting to go back more readily and see his work instead of just hearing about the myths surrounding it.

Can't wait for the next round: Sammartino vs George Hackenschmidt, i mean Hackenschmidt was the Bruno Sammartino before Bruno was Bruno. Plus he was the first world champ.

Bruno. Guy sold out MSG all the time and held the title damn near 8 years straight. Nothing Piper did compares.
