Buds love for wrestling stretches back to the late 60’s as Bud remembers his first heroes such as , Popular Peurto Rican Pedro Morales , Polish Power Ivan Putski , Russian Bear Ivan Koloff , Superstar Billy Graham and of course The living Legend Bruno Sammartino . My father turned me on to wrestling that might not have been a great idea because my brother and I got into lots of trouble breaking bed frames imitating our favorite wrestlers.
On a personal note Bud has lived in Allentown almost all his life , Except for the four years I spent in the Marines (even then I enjoyed wrestling in the NWA Mid-Atlantic region ) Allentown is my home, I’m married , my wife is Cindy Lu and I have twin children Thomas who is serving his country in the United States Air Force and Tiffany who is now a college student ,my granddaughter Kylie Rae and of course my dog Bruno , Life is good , The LORD has blessed me plenty ,
But life wasn’t without its hardships. In 1995 Bud had an accident at the nearby foundry and lost his left arm due to amputation, But that didn’t stop me from accomplishing my goals it just made things a little more difficult, I believe this happened for a reason, what it is I cant figure out right now but when I meet GOD I’m sure everything will make sense, Bud attends Emmanuel Assembly of God Church in Allentown and plays left field for their softball team “My life cannot be all wrestling, Jesus first, then Wrestling.
