Brody’s reputation of being difficult to deal with came from him understanding the business and not allowing promoters to screw him.
Difficult to deal with or not, He didn't deserve what he got.
nobody said he did deserve it. Relax dipshit
both of you are shitheads^
No he didn't but he had it coming. The stuff he was pulling in the environment he was pulling it was going to lead him to either prison or death, prison for stupidly killing a wrestler or another fan, or killed by one of the other hundreds of people he shafted.
He didn't deserve it but he was basically begging for it.
Spoken like people who know him via wiki page.
@@rezarfar that promotion went down hill after his death one all American talent said fuck them and Invader got so hated even hax quit wrestling . cause numerous death threats. N Several attempts on him especially in Trinidad .he was reduced to host kids birthday parties. Even his accessory calos colon saw how much it costed. Wwc . and after few years watching invader bring down his show . he had sever ties with him. Now I hear he won't return his calls. You kill his legend. Evrything u seen in ecw. N hardcore matches were inspired by guys like Brody. This guy earned respect of Japan .any body who ben in Japan wrestling will tell you it no joke. Cause in Japan you know about shootfight n
Brody was ahead of his time, a wrestler prepared to push back against dodgy promoters. It came at the cost of his life.
Fuck Carlos Colon and what's his stupid ass name Gonzalez.
Same to Vince McMahon, for continuing to do business with those conspiring, murdering cocksuckers to this very day.
Nobody deserved that, but he was warned by harley race...
Brody did look like a bad ass.
Brody could do it all.
I don't believe Brody would have gotten along with Vince. He was too independent
Vince didn’t like him or trust him.
george maranville Depends on who you ask. Bruce Prichard, who is more often than not full of shit, shares your sentiment. Others say that McMahon liked Brody.
Travis McDonald
If he liked Brody he would’ve brought him in
We will never know.
@@James-xx4kb From what I understand it was more Brody didn't want to go and not so much Vince didn't want him
I believe Brody could have been a great opponent of Hulk Hogan.
Don't believe Hogan could have beat him
@@darrylnicholson1387 Bruiser Brody would pulverize Hulk Hogan. I think it would have been a good show because they are both about the same size.
That's what I was talking about but doing it nicely because it's the first time I've had a chance to dig deep into what happened to KKBB !
@@darrylnicholson1387 What, in actual street fight? Brody would've done the honors for Hogan simply because Vince would've paid him a s**t ton of money to do so.
Hogan would've just made him job out and look weak. In a perfect world? One where Hogan was willing to put someone else over? Then yeah, I totally agree. Hogan had skills in the ring that American audiences never got to see... so if he pulled out all the stops like he used to do in Japan, we could've had a bonafide classic between them. But as it stands now?....
I'm glad they never had an angle together. Hogan beating Brody the way he beat everyone else would've made it impossible for me to suspend any disbelief and enjoy the match... even if it did end up being an all-time classic barn-burner.
The only way it could've possibly worked would've been to PUT BRODY OVER HOGAN... AT LEAST ONCE... but that never would have happened. Not in McMahon's promotion. Maybe elsewhere, but not in NY.
Mostly because Brody wouldn't blow him, and Hogan did... regularly.
Brody pushed a kid down who was in a wheelchair. That was a big reason why Vince didn't want him around. From what I have surmised it was an accident, but Bruiser never looked back because he didn't want to break character. Not a good look for Vince's company. Al Snow speaks very highly of Brody and said he was great to work with, so I guess it just depends on who you talk to.
I usually am friends with those people.
Wheel chair pushing I seem to remember a mayor doing something like that to Zach Ryder oh wait Vince senior my bad Vince McMahon II was okay with it I am guessing
the fuck are you babbling about
He did that in georgia
Push down a kid in a wheelchair... that's how you get heat, baby.
Brody screwed over promoters before promoters screwed him over
complete BS
i thought u were shitting on Brody....i agree
I think the only promoter he respected was Fritz Von Erich in WCCW. He did a lot of matches there and was a face most of the time. (Of course if you believe Ric Flair's book, Brody covered for David by hiding the drugs after David's untimely death.)
@@reedermh yeah I heard that too
@@mrpapagiorgio3620 qqqqqq
They talk a lot about it, but I have never seen a transcript of the trial as to what was actually said under oath.
It is one thing to stand up for yourself, but that he did screw over others on the card, really seems very self centered.
Let's just put it this way, he wasn't entirely blameless for his own death.
oh he screwed others on the card that got paid more because of brody
@@rezarfar I agree. Bobby Fulton related something Brody pulled on Tommy Rogers. Bobby Heenan told how Brody would no show at times and his opponent would not get paid due to it.
@@thomasswafford250 among many other antics, he was just really unprofessional, rude and abusive to others around him and it eventually cost him dearly.
Nobody deserves to die the way Brody died, obviously scared and in pain, he died hours after he got stabbed. Nobody deserves that, even for everything he did, but unfortunately your actions can have big consequences.
I mean, he wasn't just some innocent "wrong place, wrong time" bystander, he was actively involved in his own demise.
They say when you create your own hell, a demon will crawl out and drag you down to it, in Brody's case, that demon was Gonzalez.
@@rezarfar I agree.
Brody only screwed promoters if they screwed him first!
He had it good in Japan for most of his career so he could pick and choose who he'd work for in the states or anywhere else.
Niki Stone didn't matter
Well he should have just kept his ass in Japan then, instead of running around various promotions, shafting promoters, fans and even fellow wrestlers. Eventually getting himself killed. Let's be real, he got himself killed, he created his own hell and Gonzalez was the demon that crawled out of it.
Well in japan they will kill you if you dont do what they say alot of promotion were connected to the yakuzia so yeah
Title says Brusier Brody, video is about Lex Luger.
It seems to me that Lex benefited from favorable circumstances. With Ted Dibiase going to the WWF, Barry Windham not wanting the demands of holding the world title, and the careers of David Von Erich and Magnum TA ending, there was a huge vacuum of talent worthy of the world title. Add to this fan's fascination with bodybuilder physique and Jim Herd's ineptitude and Lex Lugar gets opportunities and pay far beyond what his experience and ability merited. Very much a Goldberg-like rise to the top.
At least Lex Lugar was better in the ring than Ultimate Warrior.
I first saw Brody in McGuirk's Tri-State promotion tagging with Stan Hansen .
Brody was smart. He wasn't going to go the extra mile for people who wouldn't do it for him. That can be seen as being difficult to work with, but I see it as someone adapting to the cutthroat way wrestling was back then. You were either his friend, or he couldn't give a shit about you. He was a hell of a wrestler and performer, and should be remembered as that. RIP Brody.
PS- fuck Carlos Colon and Jose Gonzales
I'll second that... LOUDLY.
FUCK CARLOS COLON AND "NO ONE EVEN KNOWS WHO THE FUCK I AM" GONZALEZ.
I'll also further the sentiment by saying FUCK VINCE MCMAHON, too... for continuing to do business with those murdering cocksuckers right to this very day.
While true. I mean, the whole business is a work. Why can’t certain people do jobs, to put guys over. Oh they are protecting the character. Just kinda weird with stories of that. Brody and Hogan.
I second the notion of saying fuck Colon and Gonzalez.
His matches with Giant Baba were epic 👌
Brody carried Baba. Baba was a freak of nature but not in a good way. His body was deformed and he couldn't wrestle worth a shit but because he was the owner of his own wrestling organization he most always got over.
Did Brody ever work with Jos LeDuc? THAT guy was INSANE!!! Dude cut his own arm with an axe on tv during a promo. You can see the interviewer just cringe with an OMFG look on his face.
Brody and Leduc wrestled each other in southwest wrestling maybe 1983 or 84. It should be on CZcams
Him and Bruno samartino was a great match they tore down the Philadelphia spectrum!
Being "difficult" aka protecting his reputation and the business. Think Brody would take the dick flip? Miss those "difficult" wrestlers.
Brody was an outlaw. His priorities were for himself and his family.
That's right! Brody was the fucking Man! Wasn't having it!
He was basically the Brock Lesnar of his era.
@@tyrellmiles1467 WOW YOU REALLY COMPARED BROCK LESNAR TO BRODY? THAT SHOWS YOUR CLUELESS.
@@jasonchandler2463 how so? Enlighten me because last I checked part of the reason why Brock is signed as a part time guy ie because he hated the travel. He's also a guy whose priorities were for himself and for his family. And while Brock hasn't flat out had a Lex Luger moment like Brody, he is a guy whom creatively he is hard to work with and doesn't always go bring his best efforts in the ring. He is a guy who is difficult to sell on ideas for a match or angle. Brock is a surprisingly smart and business savvy guy. You tell me where I'm wrong
@@tyrellmiles1467 You're WAY wrong..brody "never" got his ass kicked in front of "MILLIONS " of people like brock did in the UFC...and ALOT of wrestlers and promoters (Old School wrestlers and promoters) have said Brody was difficult to work with and a bad ass..You NEVER hear ANY wrestlers or Vince McMahon (he's the ONLY promoter brock has to deal with) say brock was difficult to work with..and brocks a BIG puss who flinches and runs as soon as punches are thrown at his face "Real Punches" that is (go watch ufc 121)..Brody was a legitimate tough guy that got "Stabbed" because he didn't take any shit..brock wouldn't have made it in the wrestling business before vince changed it to the "Entertainment" business..Brock not tough..or difficult to deal with..he's a conceited prick that thinks he's better than other athletes..that dosen't make him tough..you must be to young to remember Bruiser Brody..go read his "Books"..look up shoot interviews..watch his matches (all on CZcams)..then go back and look at the big conceited prick brock Lesnar..there's no comparison lol
He didn’t take the shit off the promotions.
...a dream match would be with Bruiser Brody vs Brock Lesnar in both of their primes.
Both men wouldve ended up killing each other
I WANTED TO HEAR THE QUESTION FROM CHARLES
As popular as Luger was, he still never reached his full potential. When Hogan left WWF and Vince brought in Luger shortly afterwards, he should've started with the All-American Lex Luger Gimmick to pick up where Hogan left off immediately instead of that 2nd tier Narcissist gimmick he came in with
Vince was going off his personality when he came up with The Narcissist idea
No need to blade a man with his guard down, childish act of a small 'man'
Exposing the business is flat wrong though or it was
Huss huss!
I think Bruiser's stubbornness led to his stabbing in PR. Harley Race warned him not to pull that shit out there because the Ricans don't play that.
YakFaceClub ren and stimpy?
YakFaceClub also, let's not forget that Puerto Rico is racist as fuck today, let alone nearly thirty years ago.
@Shove This L Up Your Ass I meant, PR is racist as fuck.
@@NihilisticHatred huh lol where u get that from. Have u lived here? Ive been here 22 yrs and all over the island and theres no shit like that lmao. Da fuck
@Bruizer Brody thats the best i have ever seen it explained
I'm sorry but I don't see the tragedy in Brody's death. You don't go around legitimately beating up dudes in a work because a) it's not necessary and b) someone don't care if you can beat them in a fight, they'll just shoot or stab you
You don't see the tragedy of calling a man into the showers under the premise of having a talk, only to murder him with a blade?
Was he a pain? Yes. Was he a bully? Yes. Was he somebody to screw over promoters to get his piece of the pie bigger? Yes. Did he deserve to be murdered and have the murderer get off scotch free? Before you claim he deserved a shiv , you should look at the cowardice of premeditated murder.
@@uttermanbo he got what he was coming to him. Hate that it ended in murder but a great lesson to teach your kids not to be a bully and get along with classmates/contemporaries.
Your ignorance is showing dude. Only a cowardly punk attacks a man with a knife because he knows he'd get demolished if it were a fair fight.Frank was no bully,he just wasn't an ass kisser.
Now that's disappointing, I clicked on this videa purely to hear Chaaaaaarles question but they cut it off
NEVER DID THE ERNIE LADD SHIT
Karma is a bitch.
Flair promised the belt to Sting and buried Luger because he was jealous of Luger's contract.
Nope it was promised to sting. Next you will tell me it was because Luger wouldn't follow the game plan at Starecade.
Jeffrey Riley Luger did seem pissed off a lot during 1990.
Chris Davis screw Luger if he was that great the Lex Express would have surpassed Hulkamania don't give Flair shit cause he knew talent. To make it more ridiculous ok whatever but Flair promised it to Sting. Jim Herd wanted Luger, hmmmm Jim Herd the ding a lings or ding dong whatever Herd created and called them I call them stupid. Um PER JIM HERD LETS MAKE A TEAM CALLED THE HUNCH BACKS, THE HUNCH BACKS, YEAH THEY CAN NEVER GET PINNED GET IT. I think Luger's run under Watts with Race as his manager was awesome. It was the Flair or Blanchard rich bitch thing. Flair wanted Sting because he was a bigger babyface "little stingers painted faces" he seen it, Luger was Luger and read too many Apter magazines as the next Hulk Hogan. Well again the lex express all lower case.
I don’t believe R. Flair was jealous of Lex Luger’s contract and took it out on Lex Luger.
Brody could chew Luger he was tough guy.
What was Charles question??!! lol
New favorite wrestling history topic the Brody murder
People forget that the dude who stabbed him lost his son a few weeks before that show and brody had previously put him in the hospital than tried to go to the show and be difficult. Lesson to be learned is dont fuck with people because you never know what they going thru
Jim Cornette is an irrelevant clown....Brody was a legend!
Yayhoos
Pyrometer: Gee who should I say sign and give perks too. An Adonis like Lex Luger or a average looking Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard were great secondary guys but they weren’t an attraction like Double L. Unless Ric Flair were with them, you wouldn’t even recognize them walking thru an airport
Luger couldnt draw money if he was dipped in glue and dragged through fort knox
Lex was another guy with a great look but no personality and personality matters more in wrestling then having a great look. Plenty of guys with average looking builds that went farther because they were genuine charecters as opposed to the endless line of bodybuilder types who got a shot because of their look and fizzled.
Check this out Jim....people paid to see him in droves not to see or hear you
You're right. And that's why Jim is retired and worth a lot of money and Brody was...well, you know.
