Bruno Sammartino Praises WWE’s Wellness Policy

In speaking with the local CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh, PA, Bruno Sammartino noted that the main reason why he finally accepted a Hall of Fame invite is because he believes WWE has addressed health concerns that he has been outspoken against for decades. Here is what he had to say…

“So much steroids and unfortunately other drugs involved in that. And I was very appalled by that. I hated seeing the game that I had been in for all those years come down to that. We started having some deaths and so forth, reported due to these drugs.

They do very strict drug testing. And just from watching it now, I can see that these guys are not on drugs. Being that they made those changes, now that they want me in there so badly I absolutely accept it because they did what I wanted them to do.”
