3. Bruno Sammartino
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eJb3kQQCkM In Flairs autobiography he attacked a lot of people; Im sure if you searched hard enough youd find a few pages dedicated to a postman that arrived a few minutes late back in 89, or the time Dick Dastardly looked through the TV screen with a threatening scowl. Well along with the postman, Bret and Dick, Bruno Sammartino was also targeted by The Nature Boy. Flair claimed that the Italian-born wrestler was limited as to where his fanbase resides, suggesting that Bruno was never able to draw a crowd outside of the New York area. During an interview with ClubWWI.com, Sammartino suggested that he may take Flairs criticism more seriously if The Nature Boys own background wasn't so shady. Within the interview Bruno hit back by questioning Flairs personal character and listed a variety of instances in which Flair had been shown to be far from respectable. The former WWE champion said: No, I don't respect Ric Flair. I don't respect him at all. Here's a guy we all heard about, which I couldn't believe, he exposes himself on an airplane! He got sued for it. Remember that? He used to get a kick out of jumping on a bar (at) saloons and mooning everybody in the joint. Here's a guy who almost got arrested and went to jail 25 years ago for not paying income taxes.
