WWE History Vol. 2: The magnificent career of Bruno Sammartino

Bruno Sammartino had the longest title reign in WWE history.

Hall of Fame

For many years after the inception of the WWE Hall of Fame, one question kept popping up.

Where's Bruno?

That the longest reigning champion in WWE history was not in the Hall of Fame seemed a gross oversight. Fortunately, the WWE rectified this when they added Sammartino to the Hall of Fame in 2013.

Sammartino had rejected a Hall of Fame induction several years earlier, citing the sex and violence of the Attitude Era as the reason for his refusal. But after WWE returned to a PG rating, he was more than happy to accept.

Sammartino still seemed vital and powerful as he took the stage to thank his fans and supporters for a magnificent career which spanned decades. Now with Bruno safely a member of the Hall of Fame, the WWE could rest easy knowing that a worthy man was finally given his due.

There you have it: the story of the longest WWE title reign in history and the man who made it possible. If you have questions or comments, please leave them after the article, and as always thanks for reading!
