iamthedoctor Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 How often during Bruno's era was he seen on TV? Hes a guy I always enjoyed seeing his matches when they did that Coliseum Video years ago and kinda wondered how much of his run did WWE record. Ive seen a couple of MSG shows he was in and wondered was he restricted to defending the belt on TV at MSG or was it a more wider area. A friend said he has seen a televised cage match against George Steele, he couldnt remember what show it happened on but said it wasent MSG.

Ricky Jackson Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 This appears to be the Bruno-Steele cage match WWWF @ Philadelphia, PA - Arena - July 25, 1970Joe Turco vs. Sol El DixChuck Richards vs. John L SullivanJohnny Rodz vs. Chief Jay StrongbowLee Wong vs. the Black DemonProf. Toru Tanaka & Karl Kovacs vs. Victor Rivera & Jose RiveraWWWF World Champion Bruno Sammartino defeated George Steele in a steel cage match by escaping through the door at 18:34 after twice ramming the challenger into the ringpost (Bruno Sammartino: Wrestling's Living Legend, George 'The Animal' Steele) Bruno defended the belt all over the territory, but MSG shows were the only major ones consistently taped during his second reign. There is also a few random TV bouts, glorious Rocky Raymond-narrated Boston Garden footage, and the Baltimore loss to Superstar Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
