Bruno Sassi (born December 15, 1970 in Baltimore, Maryland) is an American professional wrestler.

Career

Bruno Sassi graduated from Miramar High School in 1988, and turned down academic scholarships in order to train as a wrestler, financing his training through a series of odd jobs. Sassi debuted on September 30 that year. In 1990 Sassi appeared with the Nashville-based "NWA Worldwide Wrestling" as a jobber.

Sassi eventually began wrestling primarily on the Floridian independent circuit, where he formed a tag team with "Brother" Dan Evans. Evans and Sassi used the gimmick of a pair of boisterous, prank playing fraternity members. After Evans retired due to injury, Sassi continued to use the gimmick with the third part of the team, Big Tilly. Sassi and Tilly were known collectively as Phi Delta Slam.

On April 15, 2000 Sassi wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation, appearing on "Jakked" and losing to Stevie Richards. Sassi wrestled as a jobber with the WWE from 1994-2000.

Phi Delta Slam is wrestling with the South Florida based "Coastal Championship Wrestling". CCW has headlined such superstars such as "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, Dustin Rhodes(fka Goldust), Kip James(fka Billy Gunn), D-Lo Brown, Mike Graham, Jerry Lynn, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Glacier, and Brother Devon of Team 3-D.

Phi Delta Slam were introduced to TNA after Dusty Rhodes told his two competing assistants, Traci Brooks and Trinity, to each find a tag team. The tag teams would wrestle one another at TNA Destination X 2005, with the winning tag team's sponsor becoming Rhodes' sole assistant. Trinity selected Phi Delta Slam, and they debuted in February 2005, wrestling dark matches, and made their onscreen debut on March 13 at Destination X, where they lost to Traci's choice, The Harris Brothers. Phi Delta Slam is still employed with TNA; they are currently assisting with the production of the TNA / SpikeTV television show. However, Big Tilly has recently appeared in WWE developmental territory Deep South Wrestling, so his current status is unknown.

Phi Delta Slam, all three members, operate a professional wrestling school, Bodyslam University, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.This is where MVP (Montel Vontavious Porter)and Bobby Hopkins Jr. started their wrestling careers.
