Bruno has never like Jr. It came to a head when the two came to verbal blows after Vince eliminated kayfabe. Bruno is as old school as there is, and when Vince ended kayfabe and admitted that wrestling was a work, Bruno could never get past it. It's been pretty hypocritical of Bruno over the years since he has given some pretty informative shoot interviews over the years. Bruno even authored a semi-shoot autobiography as well. So, he's been pissed at Vince for making wrestling about entertainment, but Bruno himself has taken advantage of it for his own good.
However, though I have never seen it written anyplace, I believe there is a very big resentment about Bruno's son, David Sammartino, never getting a push with WWF/E. Bruno any father would be, always felt that David was going to be a star. But Vince saw long before anyone, that David was the shits! David bounced around everywhere trying to live his dads gimmick, but he never had the size or the charisma of his father. Instead of Bruno seeing his son for what he was, instead it was easier to lay blame on Vince for not pushing him!
Bruno also supposedly hated the gimmicks that WWE was moving to, and especially hated how lewd Vince's shows became. But that only meant that Bruno was a bitter old man who forgot that during his days, the WWWF used to mock society with homo-phobic guys like Gorgeous George, made light of midgets as circus attractions, and also employed women like Moolah as a sex slave. All of this happened long before society relaxed their feelings of such gimmicks! Bruno is one of the all-time greats, but his hatred for Vince outing the business is just not justified. If Vince hadn't done it, someone was going to!
