Who is (was) he?

Edit: Nevermind, I googled him. WWE is not in my wheelhouse.

I grew up near Pittsburgh and I vaguely remember watching him on TV.

Bob, I have an uncle that lives in Latrobe.

Never saw him wrestle, but remember him as a commentator. RIP, Bruno!

Are you saying that wrestling today isn’t real?

Back when fake wrestling was fun

I used to watch him on Canadian TV when I was a kid. Back then I even thought it was real. Then I was enlightened to it not being real, just like today's wrestling isn't real.

Reading about his career. Watched wrestling every Saturday, Chilly Billy,Ringside Rosie(the blonde next to her was my wife's good friend),Dominic Denuuci,Johnny Defazio, Pie Trainer. We as kids tried the holds. We thought for the most part it took strength and stamina to wrestle like that but was it fake?
