That's sad news. The old jobber names always give me a warm, nostalgic feel.

His name has chicken in it, and he is good at makin' .gifs, so that's cool.

Positive I've seen a few of his matches... I just saw one not long ago against one of the Vachon Brothers where he won with a mule kick-style dropkick.
Rest in peace, sir.

Probably best remembered for his segment on Piper's Pit where Roddy Piper famously chimed in, "Just when they think they have the answers, I change the questions!"

And lost. Clean.

RIP Sal for sure one of the better enhancement talents of his era.
I think if he was 10-15 years sooner he would have been more of a mid card star in the New York area.
Also am I crazy or was he involved in a segment about making paper boats that made Vince crack up?

Also appeared in the Extreme era of ECW, one time manager of the FBI during like the summer of 1996...

Sal was on a live Piper's Pit at the Meadowlands Arena in late 84: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e07zz2kUcvQRIP, not my favorite wrestler but he would give a good fight to the heels sometimes before getting beaten. |

Sal was one of the first WWF workers I became familiar with. I was already into Mid-South, but just getting into WWF when I bought two issues of its magazine. One had Steamboat on the cover, one had a cartoon of Piper sealing Santa in a chimney, but one of them had an article of Bellomo partaking in professional eating contests.

I confused my jobbers who appeared on the Pit today. |

He was on the very first wrestling VHS tape I ever rented, back when that was a thing. RIP.

He was very good in his role in the WWF. He did a good job of making the guy he was supposed to put over look good while making himself look like a credible opponent. RIP
