Wrestling Observer Radio returns today with our second interview in the last six months with the great Bruno Sammartino! We’ve got so much to discuss including battling apes for $50, sparring with Sonny Liston, buying a car for Giant Baba, stories of his weightlifting prowess both in his prime and today, getting shot on by Inoki and others, fans hitting the ring, getting blackballed and then returning to Vince McMahon Sr., and so much more. This show is just shy of two hours and is one of the best shows we have ever done, and a huge thank-you to Bruno again for his time.
