Dino Bravo
Born: 1949-08-06 - Died: 1993-03-11Cause of Death: Murder
Death Summary: Adolfo Bresciano (aka Dino Bravo) was found shot in the face in his Vimont, Laval, Quebec mansion on March 11, 1993. It is believed that his role in a illegal cigarette smuggling ring in Canada led to his murder.
Who was Dino Bravo : Bravo was an Italian-born Canadian wrestler and self proclaimed “World’s Strongest Man”. His wrestling name “Dino Bravo” came from a tag team from the early 1960’s.
Bravo began his wrestling career in 1970, and was trained by Gino Brito, and often worked as part of a tag team with his teacher.
By the late 1970’s Bravo defeated Gene Kiniski in Toronto to win the new Canadian heavyweight title.
He had mainly worked for the Canadian promotions, but when the World Wrestling Federation bought it out in the early 1980’s, Bravo began working for the McMahon family.
After a few unsuccessful years in the WWF, Bravo changed his whole presence by dyeing his hair blonde and really playing up the Canadian angle. After his character change, he had a few successful tag team years before his retirement.

RIP
dino , igrew up watching you. you are a steady wrestler. an icon, technical player. a hall of famer. hope that wwe pays tribute
The first time I saw him was during the 1970′s in the old IWA teaming with Gino Brito against The Mongols. He was a very good wrestler.
Je m’ennuie de toi Dino
by far the strongest wrestler that ever lived.if you dont believe me just watch dino on youtube bodyslam jerry crusher blackwell.
Dino Bravo was one of the greatest heel wrestlers of his era! I grew up watching him in WWF when he was managed by Johnny V and Jimmy Hart!I hated him and I always booed him, he was good at his job! He is dearly missed by his fans fmaily and friends! Its a shame that WWF hasn’t paid him proper tribute, he deserves a Hall of Fame induction or some acknowledgement! May God Bless Him and may he RIP!
i herd that he got shot in the head 17 times
No matter what he did, or didn’t do, he was a great wrestler! RIP! You are missed!
I LIKED DINO BRAVO
IN THE WWE.
Funny, no one seems to remember how great he actually was, they only remember him after he turned heel. How quickly they forget that he held half of the tagteam belts… and won it as a face! It’s sad that the WWF never put his talents to good use and he had to resort to turning heel. He should have been World Champ!
What a great performer, he was! I approve the idea of HOF Induction.. he was a great athlete who gave 100%, no matter if he was scheduled to win or not.. RIP Dino, i’m sure you’re making lifting contests with Rick Rude and Davey Boy Smith..
great entertainer but bad way to go out . u live with the crows u die by them
Dino may have not been the stongest man in the world but the guy was strong as hell, to even think about getting under the bar with 700 plus pounds
may he rest in peace
DINO BRAVO WAS A GOOD MAN WHO PLAYED A BAD GUY
IN WWF HE ALWAYS TEAM WITH BAD GUYS. BUT IF WE
WAS STILL A LIVE HE WOULD GO TO IN TNA
TO ATTACK HULK HOGAN. MICHELLE
R.I.P Dino. You’ll always be remembered. No other wrestlers have felt the +700 lbs bench and how difficult is to manage that amount of weight. Your soul will always remain strong.
my first wrestling hero when i was 5 years old,even before hogan was popular,bring back memories of my early wresling days,a power performer with the of 1 day being the wwf champ (the reason behind the blond hair & heel turn),wich never happened because of vince\!,,nonetheless,always giving the fans 120%,very powerfull man!,,r.i.p,dino bravo,u are in MY HALL OF FAME!!!
probably pound for pound the strongest wrestler ever
That sidewalk slam is the sickest finisher in history..
im sorry to hear people say bad things about this man he was a great entertainer i loved watching him in action in the late 80′s i grew up watching wresling and i still injoy it today i beleive if he were around today he would be entertaining the audience like any other thanx for the memories you were on tough canadian wresler sorry you hade to go so quickly.we misse you sinceraly a wresling fan.to the wwe i hope to some day hear of DINO BRAVO being inducted in the wresling hall of fame im sure his famaly would apreciat it and so would many fans around the world may he rest in peace.
RIP brother. You are sadly missed but shall always be remembered. God bless your loved ones.
