WWE paid tribute to Bruno Sammartino on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw with a 10-bell salute followed by a heartfelt video. On Twitter, Kevin Nash was watching and wondering:
Why do we in wrestling give a 10 count in memory of ones death. We're counted out by a 3 count. Boxing is a 10 count. 3 very long spaced out rings of the bell would be effective . Sorry my OCD mind wants to tidy it up.

There’s only one person in the wrestling business who could answer this:
In wrestling it's still a 10 count if you don't get up off the mat. When someone dies he wasn't pinned, he didn't get up. Think last man standing.

That actually makes sense!
