Bruno at almost 70 attacks Larry Zbyszko…. Results included…..
The Bruno Sammartino's Tribute Dinner last night at WrestleReunion was a success. It was estimated 100 fans attended and paid tribute to the Living Legend Bruno Sammartino. Thanks to Mike Johnson from PWI for results: Don and Joe Muraco defeated Bob and Brad Armstrong when Joe pinned Brad with a top rope splash. Wendi Richter & George South Jr. & The Patriot defeated DC Drake & Amy Love & Nelson Royal when Richter pinned Love with a powerbomb. Ivan Koloff defeated Dominick DeNucci in a Russian Chain match after touching all four corners. The Fantastics won a Four Corners bout by defeating The Thunderfoots, The Backseat Boys and Samoan Island Trible with a double pin on the Thunderfoots as the Tribe beat down the Backseats outside the ring. Bill Apter and Jimmy Hart brought out Bret Hart, who thanked everyone for their support this weekend, plugged his WWE DVD, which got a huge pop, and said that he was excited to see the true legends like the Funks and the up and coming stars in action. Larry Zbyszko defeated Diamond Dallas Page after Page hit the Diamond Cutter and pulled Larry on top of him and let him score the pin. Larry "won" five minutes, with no ref, with Bruno Sammartino. Bruno got in the ring and began choking the hell out of Larry, with all the referees pulling him out. Dusty Rhodes & The Blue Meanie & Tom Prichard & D'Lo Brown defeated Steve Corino & Steve Williams defeated King Kaulua with a powerslam. Tito Santana defeated Greg Valentine with a rollup to win the IWA Title. The Midnight Express (Dennis Condrey, Stan Lane & Bobby Eaton) defeated Terry Funk, Dory Funk Jr. & Mick Foley when Eaton pinned Terry. Funny mic work from Foley, and a good back and forth match. Team 3D (formerly known as The Dudleys) defeated Matt Hardy & Rhino in the main event. 3D worked in T-Shirts and jeans. Bubba said that the fans can call them anything they want, but they know what the fans want, tables. Talia accompanied Hardy to the ring. 3D were working really hard here in their first post-WWE appearance. Bubba was busting his rear end big time, and D-Von made the hot tag and cleaned house on Rhino and Hardy. Talia got on the apron, but was pulled in by D-Von. They teased a Wazzup headbutt, but Hardy saved her. Rhino walked out and returned with a table. They tried to whip Bubba into it, but D-Von saved him. Hardy hit the Twist Of Fate, but the referee had been bumped. Bubba missed a senton splash off the ropes. Hardy was waiting to hit the Twist Of Fate, but Rhino, aiming for Bubba, gored him through a table. The Dudleys hit 3D and got the pin on Hardy. Good main event.
Andrew (Test) Martin & Original Evil Clown Matt Borne (the original Doink) & Masked Superstar when Meanie pinned Corino after a moonsault.
