Bruce Pritchard told a story about Brody being unhappy with pay or contract and he was supposed to have a match with Jim Duggan and he just sat in the middle of the ring and Duggan's manager was pleading with him to stop doing that and be professional.
Fanboys so badly wanted this to be some shoot where the beloved veteran Brody hated the terrible wrestling golden boy Luger and was teaching him some lesson about respect and scared the crap out of him. Turned out it was Brody just being an unprofessional brat cause of the promoter and Luger had nothing to do with it, was confused why he wasn't selling, and then just left lol. He was never in any danger and it certainly wasn't any shoot. Another wrestling myth bites the dust
My thing is Brody shouldn't took the money or gave back the money if he disagreed with the promoter.. No need in trying to embarrass and bury the kid over what you and the promoter disagreed over..
I was never a fan of Brody. I didn’t like the madman gimmick or him taking liberties with other wrestlers ie. hitting them with real stuff. In retrospect it was only a matter of time before he pissed off the wrong guy.
sorry killjoy. Bobby Heenan, Bad News Brown and other wrestlers talked about it. Before the match Luger told Brody how the match was going to go literally calling the match. It was a huge slight to Brody or any vet for someone just learning to wrestle. He no sold to give him a lesson. Also look up later in the year. Luger learned his lesson and apologized and later in the year Brody put Luger over by allowing him to beat him. The Undertaker did the same thing in his first match. The undertaker rightfully said how wrong he was and how stupid he was for the way he acted towards brody. Look up his interview with Stone Cold Austin.
@@mthom0861 that simply doesn't line up with Brody's behavior. When Undertaker tried to dictate the match, Brody gave him an ass whooping. So why didn't he give Luger one? He just stopped selling. And according to Luger there was no bad blood between them.
I’m pretty sure Lex Luger has the IQ of an ashtray. But Brody is simply a hump. Never sold, never lost, just abused & squashed his opponent, collected his big paycheck and couldn’t put the show in his rearview fast enough. I never understood the appeal of him.

Luger didn't run outta the arena...he went to Brody's locker room & talked to him. Brody said the match wasn't working at all, he was heading into another promotion as a face & Luger was headed to NWA as a heel, so it didn't matter & there was no bad blood. Luger said he was confused, bc he thought he was walking into an a$$ whooping, but there were no hard feelings.
That's a LIE that Luger told to a reporter. Several other wrestlers who were there called bullshit on this. Luger climbed outta the cage and ran out and kept running to his car and out of Fla and directly to Crockett.

I'm with Luger on this one.. Brody was being unprofessional towards Luger because he disagreed with the promoter.. Plus Brody broke Kayfade and everything and not one person said anything to him about it.. Doesn't seem to me people was taking Kayfade too seriously back then neither cause somebody would had said something to him about not selling and burying Luger.. But I digress..

Noone stepped to Brody because they were scared of him. Dude was 6'8", over 300 lbs, and mean asf. He was stepped to the rotten way in Puerto Rico.....
Mister Mann I have no choice but to agree.. But he never should of buried a young Lex Luger that way.. That's not right in any form.. I hated it when Shawn Michaels did it to young talents I hated it when Hulk Hogan did it to young talents.. But yeah Brody was a massive size dude with a mean attitude of a rattlesnake..
Bad news Brown was there with both men before the match when they were planning out the match. He said Lex, who was the green horn, should have asked Brody, the vet, how the match would go, but instead he came into the locker room, disrespected Brody, and told him how the match was gonna go, a faux pas. So Brody taught him a lesson, basically.
EXACTLY. Bobby Heenan said the same thing. Luger called the match. In fact the Undertaker did something like that to Brody and they talked about it on Stone Cold's podcast. Brody destroyed him and the Undertaker said he was wrong and was stupid and didn't show Brody the respect he should have. Other wrestlers that were there said they watched the match to see if Brody would destroy Luger. could you imagine a green wrestler telling Stone Cold or the Undertaker how the match would go? lol omg.
definitely duggan, duggans manager was friends with brody, n he was pleading with him from the outside shouting frank can you just get up.. it was something to do with the office more than duggan
I know Brody has become this mythic antihero but the truth is that he was a bully and an asshole. Bobby Heenan said it best in his shoot interview when asked about Brody: “being unprofessional, no-showing, and exposing the business just because he hated promoters could kill business back in the old days and underneath guys living paycheck to paycheck didn’t get paid. If you don’t want to work with a certain promoter fine but don’t screw over the fans and the boys.” I guess he got the message in San Juan.
Coronette is wrong here. Lex didn't give a shit here. He already had one foot out the door. This match with Brodie had nothing to do with Crockett NWA and Brodie did not intimidate Luger
Funny how Cornette trashes today's wrestlers for exposing the business, although we all know it's a work, and everybody likes variety. Yet he trashes Luger ,when it was Brody who trashed the business that night.
Per Lex, he didn't leave the building. He stuck around to talk to Brody afterward and there didn't appear to be any heat. There must have been something that happened though because he was selling early in the match.
It kind of exposed the business a little some. Because he climbed out of the cage like it’s nothing. But the whole concept of a cage was to keep them in there. And you could see how it wouldn’t really keep 300lb men inside, without an enclosure on the top.
@@LateefReid-mc5up it was either to keep people in or prevent outside interference but I'm curious how they ended up in a cage to begin with. I don't recall a Luger/Brody feud leading up to this.
It's logical that Lex Luger and Sting couldn't have good NWA world title matches without Ric Flair as neither man was a fan of the business they entered from bodybuilding.
Yeah Brody could be an asshole, respect was a big thing with him, as I recall Lex, a rookie then already with a rep for having an inflated ego, had pissed Brody off by daring to tell Brody how the match should go so Brody just decided to not sell to Luger at all. Could have been worse, Brody could have just as easily hammered Luger
@Metropcs Metropcs Oh Brody was an indeed an asshole at times, but so are most people. He was stiff as hell, hit like a truck, and hated putting over young talent. He also knew exactly what he was worth and demanded every penny up front. But he wasn't a total jackass, he wasn't Mil Mascaras level asshole, if the young talent showed him respect he treated them okay. And Kenrick, promoters put up with his shit because aside from him being a Special Attraction who rarely stayed in any one territory for very long (thus not overstaying his welcome) having Bruiser Brody on the card was like owning your own ATM. Yes Brody knew what he was worth and he was worth every penny. At one time Brody was the highest paid wrestler in the world, making more than Hogan or Flair, because he never failed to pack the arena.
@Metropcs Metropcs I love Bruiser but he wasn't a team player at times and we dnt know the reason Brody chose to do what he did just rumors of luger having a inflated ego could have been the booking for all we know but Brody's character or gimmick wouldnt have worked in a major US territory for a long period or WWF for that matter I mean I think brody would have worked with hogan but it would have been a high risk
Could you imagine a green wrestler telling Stone Cold or the Undertaker how the match was going to go? lol Bobby Heenan and Bad News Brown talked about it. Before the match Luger told Brody how the match was going to go literally calling the match. It was a huge slight to Brody or any vet for someone just learning to wrestle.

It was Gary Hart, if you buy that DVD Hero's of World Class Championship wrestling he retails the story of Some young guy that kept trying to show bruiser up in the ring. So bruiser just beat the living Hell out of him they had to scrape the guy up off the canvas.
@Warunner Gaming I seen the interview with Lex and he said he was so scared of Brody and that's why he left the ring. He said he knew Brody could kill him in a second.
Brodys attitude did not get him killed. The guy that stabbed him to death had just lost his son the day before that and freaked out and took it out on Brody. Look into the guys they’ve interviewed over the years. Rick Flair tells about it
@@jeffbrumbaugh5366 Carlos Colon wanted Brody to do some type of job for the dude that ended up killing him & Brody refused.(if Brody didn't like something a promoter wanted him to do he wouldn't do it) you are right that wrestler lost his son which is why I said Brody's attitude is part of the reason he was killed. The other part was dude mourning his son also. He found out Brody refused and it pushed him over the edge
@@jeffbrumbaugh5366 that's not true at all, that's horse shit nonsense that Flair said in a shoot interview. First of all, Flair wasn't in Puerto Rico at the time, second Jose Gonzalez toddler drowned 6 months before the incident. Brody was a known bully with wrestlers and promoters.
I actually saw the match it’s on RUclips it was the funniest thing you would ever see Luger was doing everything to Bruiser Brody but he just wasn’t selling and he was looking at the referee like what the hell is going on.
Bobby Heenan HATED Bruiser Brody, in part because of how, when Brody would screw over promoters (to be fair, some promoters DID screw Brody out of pay at times), it would also damage the other wrestlers...
Props for being balanced in your take on Brody. He was a tremendous brawler but he was seemingly also a pain and at times really unprofessional. No question his death was a tragedy and a travesty.
As Jim said, he heard. He really didn't know the story. Bobby Heenan, Bad News Brown and other wrestlers talked about it. Before the match Luger told Brody how the match was going to go literally calling the match. It was a huge slight to Brody or any vet for someone just learning to wrestle.

Brody and Andre the Giant are two wrestlers I'm fine with never hearing about again. Both been talked about to death, already know everything there is to know.
Thanks to brody,cornette,midnight express,Andre is y I became a fan when Brody got killed it broke my heart I stop combat sports for 6mths afterwards brody will be one of my heris
Yeah because we all know all the fights Brody won. Oh actually we don't. He was one of those guys who acts crazy and everyone believes he can fight for some reason. Luger was ruled by fear. If Luger had to fight and had no choice and nobody was around, what you'd likely see is Luger realizing that Brody can't fight either. The reason I and Lex ran out of the ring is that if you're playing a game by rules and the person you're with isn't, then you are at their mercy. Anyone who does this stuff in a wrestling ring is a pussy because they are taking advantage. They know you're not going to hurt them but they CAN hurt you.
Championship Wrestling in Florida aka that wrasslin' company that gave us Dusty Rhodes, Kevin Sullivan, Wahoo McDaniel, Jack and Jerry Brisco. 🏆 January 1987, it's a Cage Match that didn't go as planned (or did it? you decide!) Luger refused to lose and Brody was pissed? (insert reason here - there are several!) The Booker used this match as a warning to youngsters on the Roster not to mess with tradition? I'd like to say Referee Bill Alfonso (William Matthew "Bill" Sierra) probably knows .....
i just saw this in its entirity. I know brody had the reputation of being a tough guy and I will never make the claim to be. However, if he had pulled this sort of shit with me, I would have slapped him in the face and spit on him. I would have gotten my ass kicked but, at the same time....who else could say that they did such a thing to someone as dangerous as Bruiser Brody? There is no doubt that I would have gotten over as a result

From what Lex has said in recent interviews, he says that after the match he had a conversation with Brody. And by the way, Lex has also refuted ever leaving the building all together following the match. He says that just didn't happen. Anyway, after the match, Lex alleges he talked to Brody about what happened and Brody told him he just didn't feel like things were going right. Nothing personal. No real issues with Lex from what Lex could see once everything settled. Brody just stopped working because he didn't feel the match was going right. Honestly, I don't understand why Brody was even in wrestling. In spite of what he said in an interview about wrestling being good to him and how much he loved it, it didn't sound like Brody was too fond of how wrestling was designed back then. But the thing I'll never understand is that if Brody was such a pain in the neck for bookers and promoters, then why let Brody get away with his shenanigans. I understand that Brody drew a lot of money, but surely his draw wasn't so great that it was worth putting up with his unprofessional demeanor. And I know Brody was a scary guy in terms of what he could do, but you could probably say that about a lot of guys. One thing I'm certain, in the U.S. Brody wasn't at a Hulk-level draw, and even if he was, that's still stupid on the booker and promoter's parts to allow Brody to act the way he did during a show. I dunno. Me personally, draw or not, I wouldn't have put up with Brody's arrogant disrespect. I would've stopped booking Brody if he'd pulled that stunt in my promotion. And I would've black-balled him and told the other promotions not to book Brody either. I would've done him up the way David Schultz was done by Vince McMahon.
Brody wasnt a draw. Maybe he was decent. He knew that he could take advantage of a few promotions. He did that. People hating Lex is stupid. Lex was never unprofessional. WWF basically screwed Luger when Bret told Vince that he would leave WWF if Luger won the title at summerslam 1993. Then Bret inserted him back in the title picture haltingly any chance Luger had to become a WWF champion. Then the same guy Bret said I wont loose my last match and Screwed Vince then Vince had to screw him and then Bret was bitter about it for years.
@@bourbon646 Thanks for trying to start a conversation, but in terms of Brody not being a draw, you haven't a single clue what you're talking about. Bruiser Brody was a big draw in the territories he wrestled in. I just don't think he was a draw on the level of Hulk Hogan. Least not state-side-wise. Brody was super popular in Japan, which is where Brody made most of his money, which Brody can thank McMahon for because Brody was black-balled by Vince Sr., allegedly, for beating the snot out of Invader #1 in the mid-1970's. By the way, if Brody wasn't a draw, he would've been tossed out of the wrestling business like Eddy Mansfield was. And by the way, I live in Texas where Brody drew the most in the U.S., so I can attest to his stardom in the wrestling biz because of how popular he was in the WCCW in Dallas. Here, Brody was a big star before his murder in Puerto Rico. As for Luger, I have no issue with him. I only stated his response to that night in recent interviews he's had. You can easily find them here on RUclips. Just search Lex Luger Bruiser Brody Incident.
kumar Gaurav in australia in the late 70's to mid 80's only Bruiser Brody and Andre the Giant would have been names known to people other than wresting fans.

I thought I remember hearing Brody sat down against Jim Duggan. I think Jim even has a shoot where he talks about it.
And you would be right that's who it was
That was Antonio anoki, the sit down no sell
Bad news Brown was there with both men before the match when they were planning out the match. He said Lex, who was the green horn, should have asked Brody, the vet, how the match would go, but instead he came into the locker room, disrespected Brody, and told him how the match was gonna go, a faux pas. So Brody taught him a lesson, basically.
EXACTLY. Bobby Heenan said the same thing. Luger called the match. In fact the Undertaker did something like that to Brody and they talked about it on Stone Cold's podcast. Brody destroyed him and the Undertaker said he was wrong and was stupid and didn't show Brody the respect he should have. Other wrestlers that were there said they watched the match to see if Brody would destroy Luger. could you imagine a green wrestler telling Stone Cold or the Undertaker how the match would go? lol omg.
I think Brody sat down in the ring when he was against Jim Duggan
@Metropcs Metropcs Bruce Prichard said a few years ago in an interview on youtube that it was Duggan
@@stinger5127 It was in an interview with Cornette.
Definitely Dugan
definitely duggan, duggans manager was friends with brody, n he was pleading with him from the outside shouting frank can you just get up.. it was something to do with the office more than duggan
Yea he did. The promoter got fucked off at Brody and jus Tld Duggan to kick the shit out of him
I know Brody has become this mythic antihero but the truth is that he was a bully and an asshole. Bobby Heenan said it best in his shoot interview when asked about Brody: “being unprofessional, no-showing, and exposing the business just because he hated promoters could kill business back in the old days and underneath guys living paycheck to paycheck didn’t get paid. If you don’t want to work with a certain promoter fine but don’t screw over the fans and the boys.” I guess he got the message in San Juan.
Truth.
Coronette is wrong here. Lex didn't give a shit here. He already had one foot out the door. This match with Brodie had nothing to do with Crockett NWA and Brodie did not intimidate Luger
Funny how Cornette trashes today's wrestlers for exposing the business, although we all know it's a work, and everybody likes variety. Yet he trashes Luger ,when it was Brody who trashed the business that night.
Per Lex, he didn't leave the building. He stuck around to talk to Brody afterward and there didn't appear to be any heat.
There must have been something that happened though because he was selling early in the match.
He didn’t leave the building. That wrestlers adding to the story
You know who Bruiser Brody wouldn't have pulled that shit on? Ronnie Garvin, because his hands were made of stone.
@Millennial Smark I don't watch wrestling anymore because Ronnie Garvin retired. His hands were made of stone.
Charlotte Flair wanted the experience first hand this week with Nia LOL!
Bruiser Brody was a legend. This match was the funniest thing I'd ever seen at the time.
It kind of exposed the business a little some. Because he climbed out of the cage like it’s nothing. But the whole concept of a cage was to keep them in there. And you could see how it wouldn’t really keep 300lb men inside, without an enclosure on the top.
@@LateefReid-mc5up it was either to keep people in or prevent outside interference but I'm curious how they ended up in a cage to begin with. I don't recall a Luger/Brody feud leading up to this.
@@damienthorne3012 How's Brodys death seen later after this?
It’s strange
@@MohamedAli-xu3uw he was murdered in the showers by a coward in Puerto Rico...not too many other ways to see that.
Luger said he asked Brody did he do something wrong and Brody said no
It's logical that Lex Luger and Sting couldn't have good NWA world title matches without Ric Flair as neither man was a fan of the business they entered from bodybuilding.
Lex didn't leave the building because he went and talked to Brody afterwards in the locker room.
Brody did the same thing to Jim Brunzel in the awa
Bruiser is my all time favourite wrestler and he died a year before I was born. He was fucking terrifying. Made it look as genuine as possible
Luger didn't have a manager at that point. This was long after Matsuda had left and after Matsuda he was managed by Bob Roop for a few months.
I heard several reasons why Brody did that, but I never heard this one
Yeah Brody could be an asshole, respect was a big thing with him, as I recall Lex, a rookie then already with a rep for having an inflated ego, had pissed Brody off by daring to tell Brody how the match should go so Brody just decided to not sell to Luger at all. Could have been worse, Brody could have just as easily hammered Luger
Then it would have been hard for Brody to get another gig cause every promoter would have got a hold of that and make sure they backlisted him..
@Metropcs Metropcs Oh Brody was an indeed an asshole at times, but so are most people. He was stiff as hell, hit like a truck, and hated putting over young talent. He also knew exactly what he was worth and demanded every penny up front. But he wasn't a total jackass, he wasn't Mil Mascaras level asshole, if the young talent showed him respect he treated them okay. And Kenrick, promoters put up with his shit because aside from him being a Special Attraction who rarely stayed in any one territory for very long (thus not overstaying his welcome) having Bruiser Brody on the card was like owning your own ATM. Yes Brody knew what he was worth and he was worth every penny. At one time Brody was the highest paid wrestler in the world, making more than Hogan or Flair, because he never failed to pack the arena.
@Metropcs Metropcs I love Bruiser but he wasn't a team player at times and we dnt know the reason Brody chose to do what he did just rumors of luger having a inflated ego could have been the booking for all we know but Brody's character or gimmick wouldnt have worked in a major US territory for a long period or WWF for that matter I mean I think brody would have worked with hogan but it would have been a high risk
They are supposed to be professionals so they should do the best possible match and settle whatever differences they have after the match.
Why does Jim look like Eugene Levy on the thumbnail
Could you imagine a green wrestler telling Stone Cold or the Undertaker how the match was going to go? lol Bobby Heenan and Bad News Brown talked about it. Before the match Luger told Brody how the match was going to go literally calling the match. It was a huge slight to Brody or any vet for someone just learning to wrestle. He no sold to give him a lesson. Also look up later in the year. Luger learned his lesson and apologized and later in the year Brody put Luger over by allowing him to beat him. The Undertaker did the same thing in his first match with Brody. The undertaker rightfully said how wrong he was and how stupid he was for the way he acted towards brody. Look up his interview with Stone Cold Austin.
It was Jim Duggan that Brody was in a Match with when He set in the Middle of the Ring No Sellin.
It was Gary Hart, if you buy that DVD Hero's of World Class Championship wrestling he retails the story of Some young guy that kept trying to show bruiser up in the ring. So bruiser just beat the living Hell out of him they had to scrape the guy up off the canvas.
Brody crossed his legs with Hacksaw Duggan as well as doing a barking contest with Mark Lewin in San Antonio & not wrestling
Lex said he was scared to death. I would have been too. Lex and Brody both were great guys.
I would’ve shit my pants just with Brody’s eyes staring into my soul
@Warunner Gaming no joke man. Brody was a beast.
@Warunner Gaming I seen the interview with Lex and he said he was so scared of Brody and that's why he left the ring. He said he knew Brody could kill him in a second.
Unfortunately that was Brody, too bad he had that attitude in Puerto Rico. It's part of what got him killed
Exactly, as ugly and unfortunate as that was , Brody was a bully and a massive prick, and he messed with the wrong dude in Puerto Rico.
Brodys attitude did not get him killed. The guy that stabbed him to death had just lost his son the day before that and freaked out and took it out on Brody. Look into the guys they’ve interviewed over the years. Rick Flair tells about it
@@jeffbrumbaugh5366 Carlos Colon wanted Brody to do some type of job for the dude that ended up killing him & Brody refused.(if Brody didn't like something a promoter wanted him to do he wouldn't do it) you are right that wrestler lost his son which is why I said Brody's attitude is part of the reason he was killed. The other part was dude mourning his son also. He found out Brody refused and it pushed him over the edge
@@jeffbrumbaugh5366 that's not true at all, that's horse shit nonsense that Flair said in a shoot interview. First of all, Flair wasn't in Puerto Rico at the time, second Jose Gonzalez toddler drowned 6 months before the incident. Brody was a known bully with wrestlers and promoters.
@@jeffbrumbaugh5366 brody beat the shit out of that puerto rican wrestler before. That wrestler wanted revenge when he was booked with Brody again.
I actually saw the match it’s on RUclips it was the funniest thing you would ever see Luger was doing everything to Bruiser Brody but he just wasn’t selling and he was looking at the referee like what the hell is going on.
Someway, somehow Vince secretly watches every Corny upload...my guess at his username...Vinny69Stratus
Brody No sold...... like terminator from the future...
Bobby Heenan HATED Bruiser Brody, in part because of how, when Brody would screw over promoters (to be fair, some promoters DID screw Brody out of pay at times), it would also damage the other wrestlers...
Props for being balanced in your take on Brody. He was a tremendous brawler but he was seemingly also a pain and at times really unprofessional.
No question his death was a tragedy and a travesty.
As Jim said, he heard. He really didn't know the story. Bobby Heenan, Bad News Brown and other wrestlers talked about it. Before the match Luger told Brody how the match was going to go literally calling the match. It was a huge slight to Brody or any vet for someone just learning to wrestle. He no sold to give him a lesson. Also look up later in the year. Luger learned his lesson and apologized and later in the year Brody put Luger over by allowing him to beat him. The Undertaker did the same thing in his first match. The undertaker rightfully said how wrong he was and how stupid he was for the way he acted towards brody. Look up his interview with Stone Cold Austin. Could you imagine a green wrestler telling stone cold or the undertaker how the match was going to go? lol
Luger was managed by Bob Roop when he turned babyface.
Brody F’N ruled
There is a match on video where Bruiser Brody and Buzz Sawyer sat in the middle of the ring and just bite one another's head.
Believe it was against Hacksaw Duggan where Brody sat down in ring
Did this guy just say Brody was wrestling in the Late 60's ?? Thank you for correcting him Jim ! 🤨
He said Brodys opponent was in his 60s,clean them ears
😆 love the thumbnail
Brody and Andre the Giant are two wrestlers I'm fine with never hearing about again. Both been talked about to death, already know everything there is to know.
Very unprofessional of Brody.
Now I wonder more and more why that guy killed BB....He could of really really been pushing something.....
Thanks to brody,cornette,midnight express,Andre is y I became a fan when Brody got killed it broke my heart I stop combat sports for 6mths afterwards brody will be one of my heris
TRUMP 2020. Don't fail me nerds. Go out and vote. Mr trump will do great things for virgins. He's got you. Trump 2020
Yeah because we all know all the fights Brody won. Oh actually we don't. He was one of those guys who acts crazy and everyone believes he can fight for some reason. Luger was ruled by fear. If Luger had to fight and had no choice and nobody was around, what you'd likely see is Luger realizing that Brody can't fight either. The reason I and Lex ran out of the ring is that if you're playing a game by rules and the person you're with isn't, then you are at their mercy. Anyone who does this stuff in a wrestling ring is a pussy because they are taking advantage. They know you're not going to hurt them but they CAN hurt you.
Lex told Brody how the match was going to go and this was you result.
1...2 Brody’s coming for you
Championship Wrestling in Florida aka that wrasslin' company that gave us Dusty Rhodes, Kevin Sullivan, Wahoo McDaniel, Jack and Jerry Brisco. 🏆
January 1987, it's a Cage Match that didn't go as planned (or did it? you decide!) Luger refused to lose and Brody was pissed? (insert reason here - there are several!) The Booker used this match as a warning to youngsters on the Roster not to mess with tradition? I'd like to say Referee Bill Alfonso (William Matthew "Bill" Sierra) probably knows .....
i just saw this in its entirity. I know brody had the reputation of being a tough guy and I will never make the claim to be. However, if he had pulled this sort of shit with me, I would have slapped him in the face and spit on him.
I would have gotten my ass kicked but, at the same time....who else could say that they did such a thing to someone as dangerous as Bruiser Brody? There is no doubt that I would have gotten over as a result
Legendary Great/Late - Mr. Bruiser Brody As Horror Legend - Mr. Freddy Krueger On This Photo - Image!!! It Would Be - Mr. Bruiser Krueger!!!! DING - M2.H.B. 2020!
From what Lex has said in recent interviews, he says that after the match he had a conversation with Brody. And by the way, Lex has also refuted ever leaving the building all together following the match. He says that just didn't happen. Anyway, after the match, Lex alleges he talked to Brody about what happened and Brody told him he just didn't feel like things were going right. Nothing personal. No real issues with Lex from what Lex could see once everything settled. Brody just stopped working because he didn't feel the match was going right.
Honestly, I don't understand why Brody was even in wrestling. In spite of what he said in an interview about wrestling being good to him and how much he loved it, it didn't sound like Brody was too fond of how wrestling was designed back then. But the thing I'll never understand is that if Brody was such a pain in the neck for bookers and promoters, then why let Brody get away with his shenanigans. I understand that Brody drew a lot of money, but surely his draw wasn't so great that it was worth putting up with his unprofessional demeanor. And I know Brody was a scary guy in terms of what he could do, but you could probably say that about a lot of guys. One thing I'm certain, in the U.S. Brody wasn't at a Hulk-level draw, and even if he was, that's still stupid on the booker and promoter's parts to allow Brody to act the way he did during a show.
I dunno. Me personally, draw or not, I wouldn't have put up with Brody's arrogant disrespect. I would've stopped booking Brody if he'd pulled that stunt in my promotion. And I would've black-balled him and told the other promotions not to book Brody either. I would've done him up the way David Schultz was done by Vince McMahon.
Brody wasnt a draw. Maybe he was decent. He knew that he could take advantage of a few promotions. He did that. People hating Lex is stupid. Lex was never unprofessional. WWF basically screwed Luger when Bret told Vince that he would leave WWF if Luger won the title at summerslam 1993. Then Bret inserted him back in the title picture haltingly any chance Luger had to become a WWF champion.
Then the same guy Bret said I wont loose my last match and Screwed Vince then Vince had to screw him and then Bret was bitter about it for years.
@@bourbon646 Thanks for trying to start a conversation, but in terms of Brody not being a draw, you haven't a single clue what you're talking about. Bruiser Brody was a big draw in the territories he wrestled in. I just don't think he was a draw on the level of Hulk Hogan. Least not state-side-wise. Brody was super popular in Japan, which is where Brody made most of his money, which Brody can thank McMahon for because Brody was black-balled by Vince Sr., allegedly, for beating the snot out of Invader #1 in the mid-1970's. By the way, if Brody wasn't a draw, he would've been tossed out of the wrestling business like Eddy Mansfield was. And by the way, I live in Texas where Brody drew the most in the U.S., so I can attest to his stardom in the wrestling biz because of how popular he was in the WCCW in Dallas. Here, Brody was a big star before his murder in Puerto Rico.
As for Luger, I have no issue with him. I only stated his response to that night in recent interviews he's had. You can easily find them here on RUclips. Just search Lex Luger Bruiser Brody Incident.
@@DoppelgangerShockwave ohh. Yeah. Didnt know all that. Thanks!
kumar Gaurav in australia in the late 70's to mid 80's only Bruiser Brody and Andre the Giant would have been names known to people other than wresting fans.
@@docgonzales I know Andre was very popular and a huge draw at many places.
Has Brian Last ever done a face reveal?
Yes. He shouldn't have.

I picture him as Bubba Dudley, because he sounds so much like him.
@@jonbourgoin182 on a crazy lil thing called GOOGLE.
Forever Thatter found him. His voice doesn’t match what he looks like at all lol
Is Corny supposed to be Adam Carolla here?
Was Lex managed by Bob Roop?
Houston was against jim duggan
Brody scared the s*** out of Luger just look at his face before he climbed out of the cage😳😳😳😳😳😳
No he didn't. This was another wrestling myth. Lex didn't know what Brody was doing and then just left lol
Wrong. Luger wasn't scared, he just wasn't gonna stay out there and be a part of Brody's temper tantrum that was exposing the business.
😂🤣
Well Hawk definitely scared him when he told him to change his entrance music.
Lex in his own words said he went and talked to Frank afterwards, and franks was pleasant to him.
Brody travelled because he was limited and boring. #overrated
I’ve heard nothing but shitty things about Brody maybe he was taken out for a reason lol
I wanna hear about the Skyscrapers vs Mike Blackwell and The Avalanche.. I wanna hear that story..
*holds envelope to forehead*
"We found a lump on your testicle"

Luger just didnt know how to work. Brody knew it and beat him at his own game.
Here is the match: ruclips.net/video/hedv5SZZh7Q/видео.html
Brody was a maniac a bad bad man
Bruiser is and always will be my favorite pro wrestler...75% of the pro wrestlers today wouldn't even be able to carry Brody's jockstrap...
Lex Luger was so generic
Borenette
All those muscles and no heart unless a woman is the opponent Lex. Luger. Rest In Peace to a true legend Frank Donald Goodish Aka Bruiser Brody
Brody tried that shit in Puerto Rico...
Luger jumped right out of the cage that night and ran right to the NWA.
😂🤣
John I respect You and Your opinions. However, he went from NWA Florida to NWA JCP (or World Championship as The ApterMags called the former NWA MidAtlantic).B.W.
