Kev , I bet you could have sat and listened to Bruno's yarns all day . Thanks for sharing this interview in video form , the Living Legend looks great .
Knowing I sound like a broken record , but Bruno is such a class act and true gentleman . My earliest recollections of watching pro wrestling involve him .
Can't wait for next part . Thanks Kev (I mean Booty Daddy).

I check this site numerous times in a day. You are one of the greatest wrestling writers out there today. Thank you for sharing this vid of Bruno . I am an old school fan having grown up with Bill Watts Mid South and I love hearing stories from the guys who made it all happen.

He mentioned George Romero as the director of both his current documentary and the 1973 one. Is that the same George Romero that has did the Night of the Living Dead and all the sequels?
RESPONSE FROM KEVIN ECK: Not certain, but it would make sense since Romero and Bruno are both from Pittsburgh.

What a great interview! Hearing him speaking about Walter Kowalski and the politics of McMahon Sr. was great and the monkey story classic. I once tried to wrestle a steer and it was a disaster. Looking forward to future segments and appreciate your blog very much.

I laughed a little at that story. I think that's been my favorite interview so far. Totally awesome.

Great job. Can't wait for the next one. Do you know how I can get ahold of any of the videos Bruno was talking about?
