ORIGINAL: According to a source, WWE is interested in inducting Bruno Sammartino into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013. Sammartino has been contacted by WWE, but at this time, there is no word on if Sammartino has given them a response.
For years, Sammartino has turned down offers to work on several projects with WWE and has been critical of Vince McMahon and the WWE as a whole.
