Bruno was my favorite on WIIC's (now WPXI) Studio Wrestling (with Chilly Billy) in the 1960s. I've probably mentioned this, but my late father worked at WIIC then and produced a Clio award-winning promo for that program. He also said Pie Traynor, who shilled for show sponsor American Heating, was just the nicest man anyone would want to meet. *sigh* Bringing back those memories now!

Hey, my uncle was the VCR technician there for YEARS! Maybe even when it was still WIIC.
