Madison Square Garden Pays Tribute to Bruno Sammartino

Due to his historical wrestling ties to the arena, Madison Square Garden recently paid tribute to the life and legacy of Bruno Sammartino. Sammartino currently holds the all-time record for most sellouts and main events by a professional wrestler in the history of the arena.

Today is a sad day for wrestling and sports fans. Simply put, Bruno Sammartino was one of the biggest stars in the long and storied history of Madison Square Garden, a legend in every way. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family today and always. pic.twitter.com/pKG1SZypWd
