>>13085427Roman reminds me of Lou Thesz in a lot ways so you need to look at the two times Thesz wrestled Sammartino. The first match showed off both their skills but led to a draw. Now, the 2nd match was different. Bruno heemed Thesz for the entire match but in the 20th minute, They had an awkward collision which completely knocked Sammartino out, giving Thesz the easy pinfall despite not having any offense the entire match.
So I'd say Roman beats Sammartino but only by the slightest margin.
