In today's wrestling birthdays, Bruno Sammartino turns 75, Manu turns 24, and Barry Darsow turns 50. Today also marks the ten-year anniversary of the passing of WWE Hall of Famer Gorilla Monsoon.

Wow, I can't believe Bruno is 75! If he doesn't get into the HOF soon, he won't live to see it.

I think I might miss Monsoon more than most wrestlers of yesteryear.
His commentary work was superb alongside Bobby and Jesse, and really enhanced the quality of the given match.
It's crazy to think that Bruno has reached 75, too, but happy (belated) birthday to the rest of them, and may Monsoon continue to rest in peace.
