In his prime, he used to sell out Madison Square Garden, 20,000 seats, once a month for several years. And a true tough guy in real life.

What do you mean "real life?"
You suggesting wrestling isnt real life?

Great numbers for an early wrestler, numbers that would've easily put him up there with the top powerlifters of the 1960's. #675 Deadlift, #565 Bench, #625 Squat, etc....

.

Here's a nice article on his life, and weightlifting from the 70's -

An old time bodybuilder once told me a story about how Roger Callard insulted Bruno who then demanded an apology or else a beating would be administered. Callard apologized.

Roger Callard got a good verbal spancing there! If it wouldve come to blows he wouldve been fucked!

He was definitely built for the bench press, barrel chested to the max.

Impressive life story!

And no way was he drug free when compiling those numbers....Probably drug free later on though....
