Salvatore Bellomo
Real name: Salvatore Bellomo
Hometown: Sicily, Italy
Membership: Superstars, Full Blooded Italians
A.K.A.: Super Destroyer#3, Centurion Marsella
Finisher: Pizza Splash
Background: What could have been.
When Bruno Sammartino finally retired from the Superstars, a successor was needed. Bob Backlund was officially in charge, but Vince Jr. considered Sal. Why not? He was big, beefy and Italian. Same thing, right?
Not quite. Sal was a good guy but he wasn't leadership material. He was slowly shuffled down the Superstars roster until he was finally put on the JOB Squad until he left for Europe in 1987.
He came back to the States in the 90's but those tales are recorded elsewhere.
