Just like anything vince has to do with the greatest champ BRUNO isn,t mentioned.
Roy,
I think you are confused about the lineage of the title that this DVD chronicles.
The World Heavyweight Championship does not carry the lineage of the title that Bruno held. The belt currently known as the World Heavyweight Championship was known as the NWA World Championship when Bruno was wrestling. Currently that belt is defended on SmackDown and is held by the Undertaker. It looks like the title that Flair held in the NWA during the late ’80s.
The belt Bruno used to carry is now known as the WWE Championship. Bruno was represented on The History of the WWE Championship DVD that came out in 2006. The WWE Championship is the one that John Cena currently holds on RAW and has the design of the belt that used to spin.
Thanks,
Eric
