PITTSBURGH — There he was on the screen, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mr. Universe and Mr. Olympia as a bodybuilder; "Conan the Barbarian" and "The Terminator" as an actor; and the 38th governor of California, one bigger-than-life character talking about another.
"Madison Square Garden, I saw for the first time Bruno Sammartino wrestling," Schwarzenegger said at the start of the newly released documentary "Bruno Sammartino."
"When he came out, I realized that this was the star of all stars. He was the best. He was the most popular. He was huge. When he came into the ring, people were standing and screaming and screaming and screaming. He knew exactly how to create excitement in the crowd. He was a showman."
