 "History of Dino Bravo"
Bresciano went back to the WWWF, by now known simply as the WWF, in 1985, and was soon recognized as the Canadian champion in the WWF also.
With Bravo's popularity gradually increasing, he was involved in a drastic piece of on the fly booking, where in January of 1986, the WWF canceled a match he was scheduled to be in, against Hulk Hogan.
A few selective shows had Dino Bravo as the guest, both in the WWF and in Puerto Rico for the duration of his career in 1992, and the WWF scheduled a retirement show at the Montreal Forum as a way of thanking Bresciano, but the December show was canceled.
