开头


Bruno Sammartino was the longest reigning WWE Champion in history, an unmatched box-office attraction and an inspiration to a generation of kids who grew up admiring The Italian Superman. And there’s a chance you might have no idea who he was.
Bruno Sammartino是历史上拿冠时间最长的WWE冠军,一位独一无二的票房吸引者,一代孩子们成长过程中仰慕的意大利超人,你根本不可能不知道这个人是谁。


Don’t feel bad if you’re not familiar with Bruno. John F. Kennedy was in office when Sammartino won his first WWE Title. Disco music was still on the radio when he wrestled his last match. But that doesn’t mean you can’t learn a thing or two about one of the most integral pieces in the WWE puzzle.


不熟悉老爷子? 别慌,问题不大,当他初次戴冠的时候肯尼迪还在任职总统,他最后一场比赛的时候录音机还放着迪斯科,但是这并不代表你不能了解一丢丢关于这位在WWE历史拼图中最完整的其中一片碎片。

2.Bruno Sammartino sold out Madison Square Garden 188 times
2.Bruno Sammartino 在麦迪逊花园球场188次票被疯抢一空


In the industries of sports and entertainment, there is an unwritten rule that states: “You haven’t made it until you’ve played the Garden.” While performing in New York City’s Madison Square Garden is an achievement in its own right, selling out “The World’s Most Famous Arena” is another matter entirely. And Bruno Sammartino is the only man to do it an untouchable 188 times during his career.
在体育娱乐这项产业里有一条不成文的规矩:“你没在麦迪逊花园球场比赛过你就不算成功。” 在花园球场比赛过本身就是一种成就,而能让“世界上最有名的体育馆”的票售罄就是另外一回事了,老爷子是唯一一个在生涯中将此成就达到遥不可及的188次的人。


During Bruno’s tenure with WWE through much of the 1960s and ’70s, Bruno headlined a total of 211 events at the famed Manhattan arena. In those days, WWE ran shows at the Garden every month, meaning close to 20,000 fans lined up at the ticket booth every four weeks for their chance to see the mighty Italian. Dastardly opponents like the fearsome Toru Tanaka and the depraved Original Sheik fell before Bruno in front of capacity crowds, earning MSG yet another nickname: “The House That Bruno Built.”
老爷子在60年代在WWE的这段时间,在曼哈顿球场领衔了211次比赛,在那些日子里WWE每周都在MSG,这代表着每四周就有将近20000粉丝排着大队来看这位威武的意大利人。卑鄙的对手例如Professor Toru Tanaka还有堕落的Original Sheik都曾经在大量的观众前败在老爷子的手下。后来人们都叫麦迪逊花园“是布鲁诺一手建立起来的”。


Bruno's induction into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 brought Sammartino's sell-outs at the Garden to a staggering total of 188 times.
老爷子13年的名人堂演讲算上是本纪录的第188次。

3.Bruno Sammartino held the WWE Title for 2,803 consecutive days
3.Bruno Sammartino 单次拿冠WWE冠军时长为2803天。


The Italian hero’s unfathomable 2,803 days as WWE Champion began on May 17, 1963, when he dethroned “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers in an unheard-of 48 seconds. For the next seven years and eight months, Bruno defended sports-entertainment’s richest prize all over the world against serious challengers like Gorilla Monsoon, Killer Kowalski and “Big Cat” Ernie Ladd.
意大利超人叵测的2803天冠军从1963年5月17日开始,当时他用了48秒就战胜了”Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers,接下来的七年八个月的冠军统治老爷子可谓是灭掉了世界各地的挑战者,例如Gorilla Monsoon, Killer Kowalski和”Big Cat” Ernie Ladd这些。


“The Russian Bear” Ivan Koloff shocked the wrestling world when he toppled Sammartino off his throne in Madison Square Garden on Jan. 18, 1971.
1971年1月18日在麦迪逊花园球场,”The Russian Bear” Ivan Koloff终于夺走了老爷子的冠军头衔,震惊了整个摔角界。

4.Bruno Sammartino was the first two-time WWE Champion
4.Bruno Sammartino是第一个两次WWE冠军


Three years after his stunning defeat, Bruno won the WWE Title for a second time. Defeating Stan Stasiak, Bruno became the first-ever two-time WWE Champion.
经过令人震惊的头衔失败捍卫,三年后老爷子赢回了他的WWE冠军,对阵Stan Stasiak,这是他第二次戴冠WWE冠军,同时老爷子成为了历史上第一个两次WWE冠军


Bruno once again proved to be the premier competitor in sports-entertainment and carried the title for a second impressive reign of 1,237 days. Although he lost the title to "Superstar" Billy Graham in 1977, Sammartino's cumulative time as WWE Champion across only two reigns stands at a staggering 4,040 days.
老爷子再一次证明了他以一个选手在体育娱乐界的地位,拿冠时长又是出奇的长,1237天。即使他在1977年把冠军输给了”Superstar” Billy Graham,老爷子依然以惊人的4040天成为历史上最长的WWE冠军保持者。

5.Bruno Sammartino headlined three WWE shows at New York’s Shea Stadium
5.Bruno Sammartino在纽约谢亚体育馆领衔了三次WWE的节目


From 1964 until its closing in 2008, Shea Stadium provided Queens residents with a place to check out baseball’s best. Usually, they were passing through town to beat up on the lowly Mets, which left the people of Queens County looking for a hero.
从1964年到2008年此球馆关闭,谢亚体育馆为纽约皇后区的居住民提供了最好的棒球的地点,(下一句不会翻译我只能猜)他们经常会在镇子里穿梭,为low的一批大都会队加油打气,这让导致皇后区的人需要一个英雄。


They found one in Bruno Sammartino. The Living Legend headlined the only three professional wrestling events to take place on the Mets’ home field. The first “Showdown at Shea” went down in 1972, and featured a grueling 65-minute draw between Sammartino and Pedro Morales. Four years later, Bruno fought off the challenge of Stan “The Lariat” Hansen to hang on to his coveted title. At the final Shea Stadium card in 1980, Sammartino got retribution against his former protégé, Larry Zbyszko, inside the confines of a steel cage.
他们找到了他们要的英雄,Bruno Sammartino。这位传奇只在大都会队的主场领衔了三次摔角赛事,第一次在1972年,老爷子和Pedro Morales打了一场65分钟的比赛,平局收场。四年之后老爷子面对着Stan Hansen的挑战,成功的捍卫了他那令人垂涎的冠军头衔。最后一次他在谢亚体育馆比赛是在1980年,在一场铁笼赛里,他的门生Larry Zbyszko得到了他应有的报应。


Bruno’s victory was the final wrestling match to take place at Shea Stadium. With the Mets’ performance in recent years, we can only imagine that fans are wishing for The Living Legend to make an appearance at their new home, Citi Field.
老爷子的这场胜利是谢亚体育馆最后一场摔角比赛。如今大都会队的这个表现,粉丝们或许只能期盼着一位重磅人物出现在他们的新主场,花旗球场了吧。

6.Bruno Sammartino was more than just a regional attraction
6.Bruno Sammartino 不止火在一个地方


Back in the days when wrestling was territorial in scope, competitors tended to find their fame in a specific region of the country. As WWE Champion, Bruno Sammartino became a household name in Northeastern cities like New York, Boston and Philadelphia, but the Italian Superstar was one of the first Superstars to gain a following all around the world.
当时摔角这玩意因为美国有不同地域,参赛者们通常会在特定的地点出名,作为当时的WWE冠军,老爷子已经在东百地区相当出名,例如纽约,波士顿,费城等。不仅如此这位意大利举行更是第一批在国外吸粉的摔角手。


Besides competing in major domestic markets like St. Louis, Los Angeles and Chicago, Sammartino became an in-demand attraction in Canada, Australia and Japan, where he routinely tangled with the beloved Giant Baba. The Living Legend’s home was always New York City’s Madison Square Garden, but there’s no doubt that Bruno Sammartino was WWE’s first global entity.
老爷子除了在像圣路易斯,洛杉矶,芝加哥这样的美国国内城市摔角之外,还在加拿大,澳大利亚,日本(他和马场打过的)这些地方。虽说老爷子的家永远是麦迪逊花园,但是他毋庸置疑的事WWE史上第一位走向世界的选手。

7.Bruno Sammartino was a good guy for his entire career
7.Bruno Sammartino 全生涯都是一个正派


During the two decades that Bruno Sammartino reigned atop the sports-entertainment world, the Italian Superstar never once strayed from the path of righteousness. Bruno continually received the love, respect and adoration of WWE fans young and old — a support system he relied on as he stepped into the ring against villains like Virgil the Kentucky Butcher.
在他摔角的这二十年内,老爷子一直在体育娱乐的顶端,这位意大利巨星从未迷失在正义的道路上,老爷子经常受到WWE男女老少粉丝的热爱,尊重和崇拜,他就是依靠着粉丝们的鼓励才敢站在擂台内对战像The Kentucky Butcher这种选手。


When the straightforward Bruno talked about facing an opponent, people hung on his every word. They steadfastly believed in Sammartino for always being honest with his thoughts, and felt that he was one of them. It did not matter about race, creed or ethnicity whatsoever. His fan following was incredible, and it went a long way toward cementing his status as The Living Legend. No other wrestling hero has been as unwavering as Bruno. Not Hulk Hogan, not Bret Hart, not even John Cena. And that’s saying something.
每当直截了当的老爷子谈论要面对对手的时候,人们会坚定不移的相信老爷子的每一个字,每次他的想法都是诚实的,而且特别亲近。无论何种国籍,信仰和种族,人们总是爱戴着他,他用了很长时间来固定他“在世传奇”的这样的一个地位。没有一个选手会有老爷子这样坚定不移,霍根,布雷特哈特,赵喜娜这些都是弟弟。这个时候你们应该心里都有了批数。

8.Bruno Sammartino set a world record for bench press in 1959
8.Bruno Sammartino在1959年创下世界卧推记录


When Bruno Sammartino arrived in Pittsburgh by way of Abruzzi, Italy, in 1950, he was a scrawny, malnourished 14-year-old who was lucky to be alive. Nine years later, he was considered to be one of the strongest men on the planet.
当老爷子1950年从意大利阿布鲁佐来到匹兹堡的时候,他就是一个瘦骨如柴,营养不良的14岁幸运儿,九年之后,他被认为是当时世界上最强壮的男人之一。


Finding purpose in the weight room, Bruno became maniacally dedicated to lifting as a teenager, often spending four to five hours training on a given day. By 1959, Sammartino was so strong that he set an unofficial world record for the bench press when he put up an unprecedented 565 pounds. There were no “bench shirts” or performance enhancements involved in Bruno’s historic lift — just one man and a whole lot of steel.
在健身房内,年轻的老爷子痴迷上了举重,经常每天花费四五个小时来训练。直到1959年老爷子已经强壮到他创造了非官方的卧推记录,他举起了史无前例的565磅(换算成kg是256kg)。并没有什么卧推专业衣服,也没啥性能增强的药物,只是一个男人和一堆钢铁。
It has been said that Sammartino could have chosen to compete in the Olympics and officially become recognized as the world’s record holder if he wanted to. In an era with no seven-figure sponsorships for Olympic athletes, though, Bruno decided to put his strongman skills to work by pursuing a paying professional wrestling career. He made the right choice.
据说老爷子本来可以去奥运会比然后正式成为世界纪录保持者的,但是那个时候赞助数对于奥运会运动员来说贼拉低,老爷子决定用他的力量在职业摔角好好工作,他做了对的决定。

9.Bruno Sammartino was the namesake of singer Bruno Mars
9.Bruno Sammartino的名字是Bruno Mars起名的灵感来源


Though Bruno Sammartino’s name is forever etched in WWE history, The Living Legend wasn’t exactly a pop culture sensation after his retirement from active competition in 1981. However, his name has been introduced to a new generation through an unlikely source: Pop star Bruno Mars.
老爷子的名字已经永远被永远铭记,在他1981年退役之后流行音乐也不是啥热潮,但是他的名字却被新一代的明星当做参考,没错这个人就是Bruno Mars。


Mars, whose real name is Peter Hernandez, explained in several interviews that his stage name came from his father, who was a big fan of Sammartino. The Grammy Award-winning singer was a little pudgy as a baby, and his dad saw some resemblance between his son and Bruno.
Bruno Mars真名Peter Hernandez,他在好多次的采访里都有提到他的艺名灵感来自他的父亲,他的父亲可是老爷子的忠实粉丝。这位获得过格莱美奖的歌手孩童时期曾经是矮墩墩的,他爹看出了一些Mars和老爷子之间的相同之处。


That said, Mars may have forgotten what Sammartino looks like. In those interviews, he described Bruno as big and fat. We can guarantee that anyone who was familiar with the best conditioned athlete of his era would use anything but those two words.
然而Bruno Mars并不记得老爷子长什么样,在采访中Mars将老爷子描述的又大又肥,我敢确定在那个年代如果要是描述这位极佳的运动员的话,你只要熟悉他就肯定不会这么说。
