>On January 18, 1971, Sammartino lost the championship at Madison Square Garden to Ivan Koloff. After the pin, Koloff slowly walked across the ring while the ref raised his hand three times. The announcer came into the ring with the belt but, fearful of a riot, did not present it to Koloff. Koloff left the ring while Sammartino stayed inside to keep the crowd's attention off Koloff. As Sammartino left the ring, people started crying.

were americans really this retarded back then? how could they not tell it was not real?

Because Americans are retarded. Do you really expect any sort of intelligence from a country in which the majority believe in a magical man in the sky?

I think it's more Sammartino was a local living legend and the thought of his reign finally coming to an end may have left some with deel unrest.
