fulfillment of childhood dream...

i remember growing up watching wrestling,and going to the local arena,back then,and even watching it live,at a local television station,twice... was a fan of many of the wrestlers,in the late 1960's and early 1970's,then became a fan of the WWF/E,in the mid 1980's,and still am,but to tell you the truth,when the WWF/E brought up their Hall of Fame inductees every year,on the day before Wrestlemania,there was always one person missing,on the list... i have WWE Classics,on demand,so i go back to what they call "Old School",and i see this guy on tape,and simply marvel,at this guy,and i always wondered why this guy was never on the list of inductees... this guy held the WWWF/WWF/E title for an amazing 4,040 days,in two title reigns,beating "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers,in an amazing 48 seconds,in 1963,and holding onto the title for almost eight years,and then becoming the first two time WWWF/WWF/E champion,in 1973,and holding onto it for another three and a half years,before losing the title... he sold out Madison Square Garden an astounding 187 times(second on the list,next to Bob Backlund's 200 times,and Backlund held onto the WWWF/WWF/E title,for over six years,himself)... well,folks,dreams do finally come true,because Bruno Sammartino,and Bob Backlund are finally being inducted,this year,together...
