The son of wrestler Jack Britton, Gino Brito was a French Canadian who managed a solid run in his native Quebec and under the name of Louis Cerdan was a co-holder of the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Title with Tony “Cannonball” Parisi. Brito would remain a draw in Montreal and run Lutte Internationale, which was the main promotion in the province. Once the promotion folded he would run cards for the WWF in the Montreal territory. This may not equate to a hearty Hall of Fame resume, but he has a lot more exposure to the WWE than most people realize.

No opinion. - 0%

No way! - 7.4%
