| | Professional Wrestling Online Museum - Spotlight on Bruno Sammartino |
 | | In the end, Sammartino held the WWWF gold for 11 years all total, during two reigns, resulting in more WWF records that will likely never be broken... |
 | | His record-setting 7-year WWWF reign was ended on January 17, 1971 by "The Russian Bear" Ivan Koloff, who used his infamous top-rope Russian Knee Drop to get the pin over the man that nobody could beat. |
 | | Sammartino eventually took a short sabbatical from the WWWF after losing the title to Koloff, and during one of his few non-WWWF ventures, he travelled to the Midwest and won the World Wrestling Association (W.W.A.) World Tag Team title with Dick The Bruiser on July7, 1973. |
