On October 6th in Pizzaferto, Italy, the town that Bruno Sammartino was born in, they had a surprise celebration downtown for the WWE Hall Of Famer with approximately 1,500 residents and the Mayor in attendance.
As the story goes, they called Sammartino at home without him knowing about anything, and everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to the wrestling legend on his 80th birthday. The story ended up making some of the local newspapers in Italy.
Speaking of Sammartino, the WWE icon recently spent around 15 hours filming interview footage for upcoming WWE Network specials, as well as future WWE DVD and Blu-ray releases.
