Yes he does in this interview and ties it into his own coerced comeback in the eighties when he worked with the likes of Rowdy Piper and Randy Savage. Speaking of the match he had with George Wagner, Sammartino was excited to wrestle him and felt it was a big deal. The match however did not go over well with the audience. According to Bruno, the fans in the sixties did not buy Gorgeous George as a legitimate threat to the World Chanpionship taunting him with reactions of “Go Home Old Man” and telling Bruno to “take it easy on the old man, he’s finished, he’s done”. Sammartino felt so bad for Wagner that he decided right then and there that he would never “wrestle old” and when Sean brings up his comeback, Sammartino disowns it.

Re that Rio de Janeiro thing: It's a common misconception that Pat Patterson was awarded the Intercontinental title after that "tournament" in Rio. The way it really was is Pat, in storyline, won the tourney to become South American champ. In WWF at the time, Ted DiBiase had the North American title that he had brought with him from, if I'm not mistaken, the Central States territory. When Patterson won that title from DiBiase in that controversial match on Championship Wrestling in the summer of 1979, they decided to combine the two belts into one and gave the new title the name WWF Intercontinental Championship.

He was great but he was also a con man.

Though he could be considered by some a good guy he was a shady character also.

The stars from our greatest era made the most money and now expose the business all over again to the next generation and make it impossible for wrestling by today to get over with the next generation! It’s quite a sad realisation, knowing that the videos I’ve been enjoying have also been a huge factor in wrestling not being to rebuild.

I was indoctrinated in 1961 in the eighth grade, my friends said hey, watch wrestling it’s pretty cool. One match on black and white TV and I was hooked for life. No one, repeat, no one could bring the heat like Rogers. Remember that the people that watched wrestling both live and on TV were virtually all WWII veterans and Rogers knew how to stir them up like no other. Fans flocked to the arenas fervently hoping that Rogers would get his ass beat. He was a former carnival employee and was a con man‘s con man. Bruno was spot on in his interview when he said that Rogers was supremely talented, physically had almost the best physique of any wrestler of his day, but was a true dirty dealer all the way around. A strutting, bleached blonde arrogant prick, he virtually made professional wrestling as the greatest heel ever. Bruno comes along and wins the title and becomes the quintessential good guy and was idolized by virtually everyone for many years. So they will both be remembered but for different reasons.
