Sammartino was the greatest of them all

After years of exile, Bruno Sammartino is once again part of the WWE family and it just had to happen considering he's the greatest WWE Champion of all time. The New York legend is one of the most iconic figures in the wrestling business even to this day, with many fans gradually starting to appreciate his greatness after he spent so much time away from the spotlight due to personal issues with the company.

But all of that has been put behind him, and we can now revel in the glory of Sammartino's two brilliant reigns as the leader of the promotion, with an average of 2,020 days each. When you look down this list and see that his total nearly doubles that of the runner up Hulk Hogan, you start to get a good idea of just how phenomenal Bruno's influence on the industry was.

Simply remarkable.
