Don Bravo wrestling under the ring name Dino.😅 I liked his character. His cheating on Ultimate Warrior to introduce Earthquake into the then WWF was hilarious. Great moments.
I want nothing more than to burn one and talk about the mafia with RVD. Smoking and talking wrestling and the mob is what i do anyway, can't imagine discussing his feud with Scotty Anton than his opinions on "little" Nicky Scarfo
The Cotroni crime family was an Italian-Canadian organized crime syndicate based in Montreal, Quebec, that was founded in the 1940s by Vincenzo Cotroni. The family's territory once covered much of southern Quebec and Ontario. Here are some key events in the history of the Cotroni crime family: Family origins The Cotroni family originated in Mammola, Calabria, Italy, and immigrated to Montreal in 1924. Alliances The Cotronis allied with the Bonanno family of New York in the 1950s. Internal war In the late 1970s, a power struggle between the Calabrian and Sicilian factions of the family led to a mob war. The acting captain, Paolo Violi, and his brothers were killed in the war. Overtake by the Rizzuto family The Sicilian Rizzuto faction, led by Nicolo Rizzuto, took over as the leading crime family in Montreal in the early 1980s. Rizzuto married into the mob through his wife's family, and his son Vito later followed him into the family. Family members Frank Cotroni, Vincenzo's brother, was involved in drug trafficking, labor racketeering, and other businesses.
After leaving professional wrestling, Bravo became involved in organized crime, allegedly working for the Cotroni crime family of Montreal. He was killed in his home by multiple gunshots in March 1993, and his murder remains unsolved.
Who Vinnie Mac connected to I always wondered who was the guys n suits standing against the wall next to Vince McMahon when hulk Hogan Mr t was walking out to the ring at wrestle mania 1
kidding aside, his knowledge of the Montreal Underworld is impressive and this is coming from a Montrealer. :)
He definitely knows his mob stuff

I wonder if Bobby Baccala had anything to do with it; he had a reputation of doing hits in Montreal.
lol his father also had ties to Montreal as well
He only caught that one body tho. One and done.
We really need a movie based on this.

The 900 lb bench press was fake as was Dino Bravo's alleged 700+ lb bench press.
Dino hooked up with the cigarette suppliers while he was with Jim Crockett Promotions in North Carolina.
Dino was living like Tony Soprano unfortunately
Tony was a fictional character. No comparison
