1966 1966 in the WWWF was an exciting year because the lineup of wrestlers was large and there was new talent plus some older favorites. Dr. Bill Miller & Prince Iaukea along with Baron Scicluna challenged Bruno the most. Others who had title shots included The Beast, Smasher Sloan, Bulldog Brower, Waldo Von Erich & Johnny Valentine. Tag Teams The year started with the Miller Brothers as Tag Team Champions. Johnny Valentine and Antonio Pugliese quickly defeated the Miller Brothers and were quite a team until Johnny Valentine turned heel. Smasher Sloan & Baron Scicluna defeated Valentine & Pugliese when Pugliese got injured and could not continue. Pugliese then teamed with Spiros Arion to win the titles back late in the year.
