Bruno Sammartino passes away at age 82. Well before my time (when I was a kid, it was the Hogan/Andre era), but I am well aware of who he was. I wasn't aware that he was the first star to really unify all the ethnicities behind him. New York is the only place that could have happened in the US at that time period - one of the locations where class divisions based on ethnicity and culture were large, and people like Sammartino helped unify them into the New York culture we've known and loved for decades now (well, except for people in the mid-western and southern US, from what I understand, many of you hate New York... Also Westside rap =P).
Speaking as someone who has never been to the US, if I were going to visit, New York is where I would want to go... maybe Seattle.
