Bruno Sammartino shoots on Ric Flair
Check it out:
One major topic with Bruno is Ric Flair. Many have spoken about the infamous backstage "snub" where Flair claims that Sammartino refused to shake his hand at a live event. During the ClubWWI.com interview, James asked about it. Bruno finds this story laughable and explains his side of what happened. He tells what happened that day, why Ric Flair is "a liar," and why Flair's reasoning doesn't even make sense.
From there, Bruno speaks about Ric's criticisms in his book. Flair called Sammartino a Northeast star who couldn't draw fans outside New York. This statement upsets the Living Legend. Off the top of his head, he runs down over a dozen cities outside the area that he sold out and the opponents he faced. Besides the false statements themselves, Bruno also explains to ClubWWI.com another aspect of the whole thing that angered him:
"Who is this guy to say a stupid statement like that? I resented him for that because who the heck is he? What's he talking about?"
Guttman says that it seems like a conflict of interest when WWE wrestlers write autobiographies because, in many cases, their views seem to shadow those of the promotion. Ric's book seemed to take aim at many who were on the outs with the McMahons at the time. Sammartino responded:
"Well, that's the kind of people they are. What can I tell you? That speaks volumes about the guy. But let me go a little bit further. No, I don't respect Ric Flair. I don't respect him at all. Here's a guy we all heard about, which I couldn't believe, he exposes himself on an airplane! He got sued for it. Remember that? He used to get a kick out of jumping on a bar (at) saloons and mooning everybody in the joint. Here's a guy who almost got arrested and went to jail 25 years ago for not paying income taxes and Crocket Sr. worked out a deal with the IRS to take so much out of his pay to do it. Then I found out a year ago, the same thing happened all over again. What is this a guy to be looked up to? Give me a break! Sounds to me like he's a real misfit."
