Update on WWE Wanting Bruno Sammartino for the HOF

[Big Hoss Rambler]

- It was reported on Monday by the Wrestling Observer that WWE officials reached out to Bruno Sammartino about being inducted into the 2013 Hall of Fame. Bruno issued a statement online Monday night that said he would not be entering the Hall.

In an update, the Observer reports that Triple H actually called Bruno and tried to sell him on the induction and the fact that he would get one more huge pop. Triple H tried to tell Bruno not to worry about Vince McMahon but Bruno wasn't having it.

Not many other details are known but word is that Bruno was not impressed with Triple H's approach.

I don't think Bruno is a big HHH fan. If I recall correctly, Bruno was asked to attend a show in which HHH was the main event, but he refused, while saying that if it was Chris Benoit in the ME he'd be there. Just a random fact, but I understand that he thinks that Vince will have something to do with it.

Should of had Chris Jericho call Bruno... He could have persuaded him.. Being the "best in the world" that he is.

Jericho would probably do it. I mean, they could always ask some other old timer to talk to Bruno as well.
