The story : Known to many as an idol and icon , Dino Bravo AKA Adolfo Bresciano was the Hulk Hogan of Montreal wrestling.
Wrestling was something he lived and breathed. The only profession he ever knew.
Dino became the manager of International Wrestling in Montreal and he controlled every aspect of it.
When WWF began recruiting his wrestlers for their audiences , Dino soon found himself with no clientele.
By the mid 80s , due to having a family he was financially responsible for , Dino also went to WWF.
He was soon managed by Jimmy Hart , which helped skyrocket his career.
Dino did whatever was asked of him in the wrestling world as he was always striving to be the best he could , always looking into his future.
But in 1992 , his contract with the WWF was up and not renewed.
Now without wrestling Dino had to do something for work to keep up his somewhat lavish lifestyle.
The Mafia loved Montreal due to its corrupt police force and Government.
It was also apparent to the Mafia that Dino was the nephew of a very important man in the Mafia family.
Soon the Mafia approached the burly wrestler and employed him as a debt enforcer.
But his new lifestyle now involved some very dangerous people which worried his family.
It was a scene which was not trustworthy.
On March 10 , 1993 Dino was brutally murdered in his home and to this day no one knows who is responsible...
