Bruno Sammartino Wrestled A Monkey - Pro Wrestling Urban Legends

Before Bruno Sammartino made his way to the WWF to become a record breaking world champion of pro wrestling, Bruno Sammartino found himself accepting a challenge at a local carnival. The challenge? Last at least 5 minutes in a steel cage ring with "The Champ", A massive Orangutan Monkey! Bruno Sammartino literally had a sanctioned wrestling match with a monkey...or at least that's what he claims. Do you think this really happened or is it just another pro wrestling urban legend?

How have I never heard this before? That's amazing true or not it's a great story. Piper has a funny story he told in a shoot interview where he wrestled a bear in his younger days.

Orangutan: You will fall to me, human!
Bruno: This doesn't work for me...BROTHER!
Young Terry Bolea: ( I'm writting this line down. It could help me make the " right " career choices in the future. )
