So he's the greatest of all time right? He held the belt for nearly 7 years, sold out MSG 200 times, and established american wrestling. Who could even be claimed otherwise?

The only reason people don't think he's the GOAT is because he was before their time, but you only need to look at the numbers.

Steve made more money than Bruno ever did. He's still moving merch. Is Bruno?

If selling merch is the metric you're using, steve wins, sure. There wasn't even any merch before the WWF era.

It used to be part of one of his shoots on youtube. Inoki was supposedly encouraged by Karl Gotch to break Bruno's arm to build his reputation, Bruno had never heard the part about Gotch before and said it really disappointed him. Inoki put Bruno in some arm hold and started to really lock it on but Bruno broke Inoki grip started punching him and chased him out of the ring. It was a tag match so Baba just worked the match pretty much solo because Inoki wouldn't get back in the ring if Bruno was the legal man.

Bruno has been known to talk about worked matches as if they were shoots but I kind of believe it.

yes, Bruno was very vocally anti-steroid to the point he even publicly criticised Vince for allowing guys in the 80's to juice

For his era he was the greatest, but he's not in the GOAT discussion because he was only a *regional* draw. Outside the Northeast and and nearby parts of Canada, he was dimeless.

Bruno drew pretty well when he worked other parts of the country as well. All the wrestling magazine hyped him up so when he went to Texas, Florida or California he was seen as a special attraction and drew good crowds.

Bruno sold out MSG like 65 or so times, still impressive as hell, but he also had years like from 1976 to 1978 without one MSG sellout and some really poor attendances like barely 5k

Karl Gotch was hardcore pro NWA and he hated Vince Sr for leaving. Wouldn't surprise me if he told the Japs to shoot on Vince's champ. >>12260776
