- Authorities believe he was murdered because he was involved in a cigarette-smuggling gang with an organized-crime ring and got caught skimming money from them. Because there was no sign of a struggle or of forced entry, police believe Bresciano knew his killers. He was shot 7 times in the head and a total of 10 times in the chest and abdomen area.

- One daughter, born 1987.
- In December 1992, the WWF scheduled a retirement show for Dino Bravo at the Montreal Forum but it was cancelled.
- The name "Dino Bravo" was taken from a wrestler (real name Pepe DiPasquali) from the late 50s/early 60s, who was nicknamed "The Italian Casanova." Bresciano's future tag partner Dominic DeNucci wrestled with the original Bravo as tag teaming brothers.
