"The living legend" Bruno Sammartino was Busted Open with Dave Lagreca and Doug Mortman. You can hear Busted Open on 94 of Sirius and XM 208 860 area of Sports on the internet. Here are a few highlights:
On the Hall of Fame and Vince McMahon WWE: "Okay, first of all, speak a little of the Hall of Fame." You can see what people are not on the Hall of Fame, they say that I am being stubborn now. That is not true. The first year, he came out with the Hall of Fame, they totally ignored me as I did not exist. They have named some people?I don't even remember not that they were inducted into the Temple of first?but, they got these people. I never even mentioned because it was McMahon?in my opinion?that has his way to show me that "you do means nothing for us," or "you are away, you are finished, you are a has been". Ok. But what happened was, he failed on him because people called, written, all sorts of things, like ' how the heck can you call the Hall of Fame? Here is a guy who is World Champion for almost twelve years. Sold the garden once more that all these blah blah blah, and it is not in the Hall of Fame?' because I suppose, he did not expect this kind of response.
"And after that a few years later, his attorney (Jerry McDevitt) contacted me and tried to talk back me inside, and I said no, I was not interested." I have everything first because I do not think that I have been part of this part of the fight. I was in the WWWF, WWF not was that he turned it into something completely different from the fight that I was involved with, number one. And I said so I don't want any part of this Hall of Fame. And then also because that, when say to me?the, because most of the people include me?but those which is not, I will ask, I would say "If you are going to go into this Hall of Fame, would you want to take your children, or do anything, tell me, where you take"them "?". I said, do you get? It is strictly a marketing gimmick; It's not Hall of Fame! Where is the building? Where the places that people can go and see what? And where is a like?eh guy, what is his name? [Drew] Carey, a host belonging to a wrestling Hall of Fame, or refrigerator Perry or Pete Rose or Bob Uecker? these guys were all great guys and I am not against one of them. They were all much to what they did, but they have to do with the fight? So for me, I would be uncomfortable! I would not part any of this kind of Hall of Fame. And, as far as McMahon and I? repair our relationship, I do not think that it is possible. I have myself very clear from the beginning: I totally agree and going against what is it to the fight. »
On Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan wrestling still: "Nah, I find almost sickening." Let me tell you something real quickly: when I was in control, I made a promise to myself that I get out of that and withdraw, regardless if I could allow or not. When I didn't feel that I could be on top. In other words, where I wasn't doing the work, where I was not attracting crowds and so on. And I always paid attention to each location, that I have struggled to see what the crowd wants and so on. And I wanted to get out before it is bad, and I did it. When I arrived, we were sold everywhere. I am sure that you are familiar with the program, I did it with Larry Zbyszko; We have all sold. And this is his retirement. I will retire right after this, this is where I wanted to go. This guy should have been out twenty years ago. For me, it's a shame, it is a shame, no respect for itself, without shame, without nothing, because?he should be ashamed! ?because he looks like hell and it just do not belong! It is simply not. [Hulk] Hogan is the same for the good of God! Recently, in England, he had the audacity to say that he has called home at Shea Stadium where Zbyszko and I Epuisés! (Zybszko and me, we sell the everywhere!) It was on the map, he takes the credit of this House. However, he and André [the Giant], just after the show they went, to uh?what arena in White Plains, New York?it is four thousand, they drew only eleven hundred people.
