STICK TO WRESTLING is once again joined by popular guest John Jance, and we enter into an alternative universe. Bruno Sammartino was seriously injured in 1976, and told promoter Vince McMahon Sr that he wanted out. Bruno cut way down on his dates right after losing the WWWF title to Superstar Billy Graham and was completely out of wrestling by the end of 1981. But what if Bruno has Ricflairitis, a condition one suffers from when they can’t walk away from the business? We discuss that and the butterfly effect it would have had.<\/p>\n

–When does Vince Jr. finally pull the title from Bruno?<\/p>\n

–What effect would this have had on the careers of Superstar Billy Graham and Bob Backlund?<\/p>\n

–When would Bruno finally have to retire?<\/p>\n

–What impact would this have had on David Sammartino’s career? Would it have hurt Bruno if the fans knew he was old enough to have an adult son?<\/p>\n

–How often did Bruno wrestle after dropping the title to Graham? The answer may surprise you.<\/p>\n

Plus John Jance shares a story about corresponding with a young Dave Meltzer and how not everything was a secret back in the day, so what are you waiting for? Download and listen to this wicked good bad boy!<\/p>\n
