Hopefully this means we’ll be getting David soon too Depends who signed off on him. My understanding is that Bruno and David were still estranged at the time of Bruno's death. He and Carol had two other sons, one of whom died about 6 months after Bruno.

He and Carol had two other sons, one of whom died about 6 months after Bruno. That's correct about David. Him and Bruno unfortunately never reconciled. Bruno's son Darryl has been featured in WWE docs about his Dad, so it's possible he could have given his blessing. Very excited to see Bruno in this set. One of the top cards of all time for FG. Truly amazing how far the game has come. These TNT sets and the partnership has been hugely successful!

Bruno did say no but as I recall it wasn't because he wasn't interested but that he was under contract to other companies ala a Roddy Piper. So whoever did say yes probably knew of this and when approached gave the okay.
At least that was my thought when I guessed him as the big name.

Bruno Sammartino - Yes of course I know him. In my opinion the greatest ever legend, no one even closer. Worth the set price alone .Sold out places for years without TV & internet to help him sell the shows etc. I never thought we would see him, I thought he turned Tom down years ago. The war is on which one of your feds will sign him?

Rogers is definitely my planned first feud for Bruno. Gorilla Monsoon is another feud and he had some battles with Ox Baker as well.
