    Cool. Is he still having divorce problems and such? His daughter is a wrestler and was in town not too long ago.

    I don't know, I just saw a promo for it last night, but it did not give a lot of details.

    Just had the chance to watch the Flair 30 for 30. It was a very well done 90 minute documentary. If you are at all a fan of pro wrestling I would think you would enjoy it.

    I just started reading Brett Hart's book. It is very very detailed and long, but so far very interesting. He must have kept journals or something in order to remember so many details about his career and the business in general.

    RIP Bruno Sammartino

    He was champion most of the years I watched. Either him or Pedro Morales that is.

    In the mid-to-late '60's, I used to go see LIVE Wrestling with my Dad at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ....crazy stuff (I do remember seeing Bruno) My Dad LOVED this stuff...it never really caught-on with me.

    Yeah, I heard this. My mom will know him. She's seen a lot of them. RIP Bruno. Man, was he built.
