The official autobiography of WWE Hall of Famer Bruno Sammartino, Bruno Sammartino: An Autobiography Of Wrestling's Living Legend has been re-released with a new, expanded version and can be ordered by clicking here.
The updated version of the book was being worked on prior to Sammartino's passing last year at the age of 82 and after his passing, was pushed back to incorporate his passing and legacy. Bruno has been expanded from the original version that was published in the late 1980s, removing material that protected the realism of the business during that time period. The book also features new aterial that expands Sammartino's story, including comments and stories from others who knew and worked with Sammartino.
Sal Corrente, who helped to manage Bruno's appearances and was extremely close with him as well as former WCW Magazine editor Colin Bowman spearheaded the new edition of the book.
Promotional material for the new book reads:
BRUNO! BRUNO! BRUNO!
The iconic chant that resonated everywhere Bruno appeared, whether he was the Champion at the time or not.
It was a combined 11 years, during two title reigns, that Bruno Sammartino was the World Wide Wrestling Federation Champion: 1963-1971 and 1973-1977 (4,040 days). He headlined New York’s famous Madison Square Garden 211 times, including 187 sell-outs, a record that still endures to this day, and will most likely never be broken. In his final headline appearance at Madison Square Garden, he got to address another sold-out crowd as he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Born in 1935, in a small Italian mountain town, Bruno and his family survived World War II, before emigrating to the USA. From this inauspicious start, his sheer willpower and determination drove him to become of the most popular and respected wrestlers of all time.
This is the definitive autobiography of the life of Bruno Sammartino, expanded to 568 pages to cover his life ... from his childhood in Italy through the bumpy road he traveled to become The Living Legend of Professional Wrestling and then beyond the ring.
This is the true story as told by Bruno himself, and includes tributes and anecdotes from his peers, friends, and family, with many photos that have never been seen before. He may be gone, but his unparalleled career will live on through this book, YouTube, the WWE Network, and most importantly, everyone who ever met him.
