How often during Bruno's era was he seen on TV? Hes a guy I always enjoyed seeing his matches when they did that Coliseum Video years ago and kinda wondered how much of his run did WWE record. Ive seen a couple of MSG shows he was in and wondered was he restricted to defending the belt on TV at MSG or was it a more wider area.

 

A friend said he has seen a televised cage match against George Steele, he couldnt remember what show it happened on but said it wasent MSG.

This appears to be the Bruno-Steele cage match

 

WWWF @ Philadelphia, PA - Arena - July 25, 1970
Joe Turco vs. Sol El Dix
Chuck Richards vs. John L Sullivan
Johnny Rodz vs. Chief Jay Strongbow
Lee Wong vs. the Black Demon
Prof. Toru Tanaka & Karl Kovacs vs. Victor Rivera & Jose Rivera
WWWF World Champion Bruno Sammartino defeated George Steele in a steel cage match by escaping through the door at 18:34 after twice ramming the challenger into the ringpost (Bruno Sammartino: Wrestling's Living Legend, George 'The Animal' Steele)

 

Bruno defended the belt all over the territory, but MSG shows were the only major ones consistently taped during his second reign. There is also a few random TV bouts, glorious Rocky Raymond-narrated Boston Garden footage, and the Baltimore loss to Superstar Graham
