Very saddened to hear of the passing of Bruno Sammartino. WalterāKillerā Kowalski always spoke so highly of him. An absolute legend in our industry in every sense of the word. They just donāt make men like that anymore. Godspeed sir. š¢

Rest In Peace Bruno Samartino. It was an honor meeting you and talking how many times we could have sold out MSG together back in the day. #RIPBrunoSammartino pic.twitter.com/Df7TgfBDnR

Bruno is indirectly responsible for where I am today. Growing up in Pittsburgh, he was my fatherās hero, and sparked my dadās passion for the business that he passed on to me.
I was lucky enough to spend some time with Bruno, and the man exemplified class. #RIPBruno

Growing up, my grandfather Stu Hart would ALWAYS talk about Bruno Sammartino and what an incredible wrestler he was. Iām so grateful I had the chance to meet Bruno and tell him how much he meant to my grandfather and the entire Hart family. We will all miss you, Bruno. šā„ļø pic.twitter.com/Dclu5hMGa6

Saddened by the passing of the great Bruno Sammartino. I had only been wrestling a year when I met him, just south of Pittsburgh. It wasn't the "stars" of USCW that drew people out that night, it was the chance to just see Bruno in person & shake his hand. pic.twitter.com/Qkufw2gaDh

What sad news about the passing of my hero Bruno Sammartino. Growing up Bruno was my favorite & later when I got a chance to photograph at Ringside at MSG I loved taking photos of Bruno's matches. He was a true friend. RIP my friend. You will never be forgotten
