    During this period i worked for a concert promoter who had offices at the capital center. WWF events regularly drew 4-5,000.
    The Bruno/Larry fued sold out on two different months.

    I went to the first match of this feud, completely sold out, tremendous match the crowd was so loud it was almost as if it was silent, incredible!!!

    Incredible segment. Bruno has a complete look of contempt for his former apprentice and Larry can't look Bruno in the eye because he knows he has unleashed a side of his mentor that he has never seen. It's stuff like this that modern wrestling is missing.

    This match at the Capital Centre was about a week after the Bruno vs, Zbyszko cage match at Shea Stadium.

    Ultimately Larry "retired" Bruno, goes to Georgia and Dusty,Hansen,the Andersons,Dick Slater,etc. run away, he goes to the AWA and retired Bockwinkel and BOTH Gagnes, goes to WCW and what happened to the Road Warriors,Rock 'N Roll Express,4 Horsemen ( besides Flair who ran away later). The Dangerous Alliance was NOTHING without him. Ran the future Triple H out of there and retired on top. Larry the Legend.
