Bruno Sammartino has passed away at age 82
Fuck, this is like a punch to the stomach
Bruno was the greatest. There's nobody in the WWE that has ever come close. |

Bruno Sammartino dead- Tapped out to old age
Got made to tap.
It dont matter who did what to who at this point. The fact is, we went to war. And now there aint no going back. It's what war is you know? Once you're in it, you're in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie, but we gotta fight! |

Damn. Just seen this on WWE.com. He was way before my time and I'm not a fan, but I appreciate what he means to the industry. R.I.P.

Bruno survived the Nazis, survived the death of much of his immediate family, and survived scarlet fever - all at the same time.
He and the rest of his family had to delay travelling to join their father in America after the war because Bruno was so small and sickly that they feared he wouldn't survive the journey - yet, after moving to the US in 1950, he almost made the Olympic weightlifting team in '56, and set the world bench press record in '59. He was the archetype for Vince McMahon Sr's "ethnic babyface" model, and for the babyface champion formula that the WWE have followed more or less ever since. He was an inspirational figure for recent immigrants to America and, with all due respect to Dusty Rhodes, as fine an example of the ideal of the American Dream as I can think of. And a rare class act in a classless industry. |

See, Heyman got banned for being a giant sack of shit. He posted in ABT's rep sheet something about his child and how he'll grow up fatherless. This was after a series of awful behaviour and he was finally banned.
Now he's satirizing those who wished him banned. |

Yeah, Bruno was known to tell some tales. I've seen all the attendance records and Bruno sold-out MSG around 47-48 times

Heyman got banned for being misunderstood. I definitely miss him being around.

I'm really curious about this Heyman poster now. A few people think I'm him. I'm not really sure why, other than the fact that we are both Vancouver Canucks fans of the NHL, but I can assure people that I'm not Heyman. Dastardly Dale Newstead has been leached on to my back like a spider, thinking that I am him, despite my constant denial of it. Like was he romantically in love with this Heyman guy or something? Doesn't make sense. I'd have no problem admitting to DDN that I'm Heyman so that he leaves me alone, but I'm starting to suspect that DDN is mentally unbalanced.....and that even a false admission on my part could lead to Dale being a danger to both himself and to others.

It's called fighting fire with fire. But yes, you are correct that my language was not appropriate and for those of you who were offended, I offer my sincere apologies. You have to admit however.....many other posters use unacceptable language on here. Why single me out?

As par your request, I have decided to re-edit my language so that it's more child-appropriate. I took out ******* and heat seeking missile, and replaced these words with 'spider' and 'back.'
