#4 Bruno Sammartino's incredible career
There are few stars in all of wrestling greater than Bruno Sammartino.
Growing up avoiding the Nazis, the Italian Stallion would become a hero for immigrants after travelling to the United States, and would also create history.
After beating “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers in a bout in 1963 to become the new WWWF Champion, Bruno Sammartino would go on a streak that no one would ever rival.
His first reign lasted an astonishing seven years, eight months and one day, a reign that is much longer than many wrestlers' entire careers.
After all these years, the title was seen as solely Bruno's though the reign did have to end.
Sammartino had become so synonymous with the championship that when he finally lost the belt to Ivan Koloff in 1971, the crowd was utterly speechless as to what they had just witnessed.
