I still can’t believe that José González was never even thrown into jail for this.
Corruption😞
This is the only question I see in BB videos, no body knows what really happened, but, yes, who ever did it, deserves jail time
EDH ... the witnesses (Tony Atlas, Dutch Mantell and others) were also afraid to testify for fear they would be next.
Agreed its a disgrace, Carlos Colon covered for González because he was piss off Brody wouldn't job for him and wanted to buy part of WWC. Hell, acording to Savio Vega González threatened to to the same to Tony Atlas when he reaised a stink.
@@bernadettejohnstone4529 José G. Is an old bastard that can't even lift his finger to sign contracts at WWC, I live in Puerto Rico, since 2005 and I don't buy that theory of yours. Afraid of being next. God knows if they were involved, I heard that a lot of wrestlers envyed Brody and that's why Brody was murdered. Jelousy of Brody, and just because I'm Puertorican, I'm not going to defend Jose or who ever did it.
He got murdered and his killer walked. Thats what happend.
Who is here after Taker's interview
What interview?
@David Damron That doesn't make any sense in context of this thread.
Taker's very first opponent ever if i recall correctly?
I've read everything I could about the incident since I first learned about it as a kid, but seeing the Vice documentary at Starrcast was something else. Hearing his son recall stories he was told of his father because he has no memories of his own, it's heartbreaking. Feels were had.
Easy... he was murdered
In the showers no conviction cause they couldn't find the knife
you triggered my dude he still died... yes they couldn’t find it but he was still stabbed
@@superrobz Jose's family where cops in perto Rico they covered it up
Rob Picken the man that killed Brody should be rotten if in prison. To the murderer- May god have mercy on his soul because if I was god I wouldn’t
@@yakamarezlife really perto rico that's disrespectful. It's Puerto Rico do at least a Google search
And still, Carlos Colon (accomplice of Brody's murderer) is hall of famer, but Brody isn't.
Gaston Legume I can give u a easy answer to that Vince loves one and never liked for the other the other being Brody
@@kckingofpicklesaudis3151 Yup just like how he screwed the Warrior until he himself got even in the end, Chris Benoit and Chyna.
@@matthewburr774 what was your stance on Brett Kavanaugh?
Brody will get in at some point. Benoit never will.
@RCP Pilot Benoit will never get in. WWE is a publicly traded company. The backlash would be business suicide for the company. The negative blowback would be catastrophic. Bruiser Brody is listed on WWE's website and has a profile.
Bruiser brody was way ahead of his time
David Damron Hold on bro im about to laugh hold on just gimme 5 seconds im about to laugh.
Try to get facts straight. Brody had no alcohol or drugs to include aspirin in his system according to his autopsy. His liver and intestines were butchered, he was going to die regardless after being left to bleed for over an hour, aspirin or not.
sounds like someone trying to rub dirt on his name. thanks for saying that
Jose was a Kitty lol
I had the privilege to watch Brody wrestle for WCCW in Texas. My mother got to see him in person, from a front row seat in St. Louis, strangle a man with a TV cable. He was an amazing talent who captivated an audience like few have ever done! He was our wildman and one of my all time favorites!
Great video but for more info you guys should head to wrestlelamia and check out his behind the titantron on bruiser Brody sad end to a great wrestler
I love that one, saw it when it first came out. Everyone should definitely watch that one.
frazz vader That was the video that introduced me to WrestleLamia!
@@aliciaveal1284 Yep.
Those Behind The Titantron videos are really well done.
yes. i was gonna comment this as well
There's a short interview clip with Harley Race, where he said that he warned Brody before he went to Puerto Rico. He said that he told Brody that if he doesn't change his attitude and the way that he does his business that he won't leave Puerto Rico alive. This clip was in RUclips. I don't know if it still is or not.
Another factor is that supposedly, Gonzalez's child had died just 3 days before this whole thing took place. And some believe that he was consumed with both grief and rage.
Still...... while all of this is very tragic, and we truly lost a great wrestler and entertainer, we cannot take away from the fact that Brody wasn't a saint. He had a reputation of rubbing people the wrong way. Unfortunately, it caught up with him.
As a Puerto Rican myself, I am hugely interested in this topic. I really want to learn more. Also, when it comes to the popularity of wrestling here on the island, it has diminished a lot, but it's not completely gone. WWC shows are not that popular but still get attendance. They get more attemdance than few indie shows. When WWE comes, they almost sell out the venue. Last time they came, they filled 95% of the Coliseo de Puerto Rico. So yes, popularity did take a massive hit, but it has not completely diminished
I thought Luke harpers indie name was an homage to Brody
Didn’t he call himself Brodie lee?
Bingo you are correct.
had nothing to do with bruiser. Brodie was the name of a character played by jason lee, the second half of his ring name
? Why didnt the Great ol Usa not get involed in this case regarding American wrestler Bruiser Brody .
He should be in the WWE HALL OF FAME
He should
@@chrisnurding845 he is
Brody defined Wrestling at it's best. A believable, badass, unpredictable wildman. Long gone but never forgotten.
One of my favourite wrestlers, he didn't deserve to go out that way.
Come to think of it, Brock Lesnar is a lot like Bruiser Brody. A monster in the ring and only wrestles when he wants to and I can understand Gonzales’ hatred of Brody but nonetheless, Brody didn’t deserve what happened to him.
I love what culture, but I'm not gonna lie, I think Wrestlelamia did a much better job telling this story. Wrestlelamia's "Behind the Titantron", segments are really good. I think what culture has him beat though on the everyday wrestling reporting.
Yeah for more in depth videos about wrestling I go to that channel. What culture is just the watchmojo for wrestling
@@SebastianGomez-uj8iu That's an insult to What Culture. >
@@ssjup81 am I wrong tho?? It's mostly just list
You guys are hit or miss with me but this was a GREAT look into one if wrestling's most iconic enigmas. 30 years after his murder, Brody still gets our attention. That is wrestling mythology. Well done!
He was loved here in World Class Championship Wrestling in Dallas and Fort Worth.
Julie's even though I play around on the 5 most shocking things comment section I love your work and vids like this one show why. You have an abundance of skill telling a story and keeping the audience invested. Great job and keep it up
You never explained why the date and site were "chosen"... Ok, so P.R. was convenient because of the "corruption" of the legal system... but what made the date so significant?
Qei lam ajaj
Last day to pay his share.
Between this and the Bellas eating doodie, Tony Atlas has seen some awful things.
Paul Corrigan wait WHAT ABOUT THE BELLAS
Yes what
Paul Corrigan wait what did the bellas do
Just search Tony Atlas Bellas...
I am Puerto Rican and I can tell you that there is no Justice System in PR, and Brody had a better chance of survival if he walked to the hospital instead of waiting for the paramedics to arrive.
Sadly, I'd have to agree. The Justuce System in PR is a fucking joke. I see now it was also a joke back then.
Fucked Up country
아듀우 excuse me your name is in Korean so don’t talk
Fun fact, Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. U.S. should just remove autonomy from the island and take complete control as it's a complete shitshow. (I know, used to be a lawyer there)@@user-qy1oq7cg1i
Mano! Tu estabas dentro de la ducha para saber si él atacó primero al Invader o no? Sólo estaban ellos dos, y conozco compañeros que estuvieron ahí esa noche y nadie vio lo que pasó antes, nadie sabe si de verdad fué defensa propia ni jamás lo sabremos, pero si la corte determinó que fue defensa propia, quienes somos nosotros para juzgar. Además que los Puertorriqueños no le debemos dar la razón con nuestros comentarios a éstos videos porque no están sólo criticando al Invader, están criticando a nuestra isla haciéndonos ver como un país tercermundista.
He tavelled to the future an re-packaged himself as Elias apparently
No guessing at my age but I used to love Brody
You grew up in a great era!!
Must be at least 50+.
As a Wrestling fan and a Puertorican im truly ashamed of what happend to B.B in PR. Puerto Rico does have a lot of flaws when it comes down to serving Justice. Jose Huertas is still working the wrestling scene down here in PR and has an appearance on CWA Christmas Showdown later this month.
I always thought part of Undertaker's no-selling of his opponent's offense came from his early matches with Brody.
Friendly reminder: Puerto Ricans are American citizens and Puerto Rico is an unincorporated US territory
invader 1(gonzales) still works as a babyface as recent as 3 years ago
He ain't no damn Babyface
There is also an interview with Tony Atlas on RUclips, entirely about this whole incident.
He said a lot of lies and shit
@@mottosierra1372 He didn't lie about who murdered Bruiser Brody
@@mottosierra1372 what did he lie about? He seemed like the only honest one who was actually sad about this event unlike “the butcher”
Isnt his attitude really what got him killed. Brody was a bully, he received some big time payback
This was really well done guys. Good work
Love this one Jules, you guys should this more often.
I think why Primo and epico are still employed by WWE has something to do with this...
No, its because Carlos Colón sold the WWC filmography to Vince.
I love your narration of this please continue this series
I love that poster. Ivan Putski Polish Power, Bruno Sammartino. My late 70's entertainers.
Brody went too soon the guy was a legend
as a puertorican i gotta say this is a tragedy since puertorican wrestling has suffered because no one wants to work there
Please do more like this that was great
Luke Harper even used the name "Brodie Lee" on the Indies. That's not a coincidence.
Frank Goodish is probably still my favorite wrestler of all time. And he's in good company in my heart with The Roadwarriors, Arn, Jericho and Benoit. (Also, suck it! I don't care. Benoit was an incredible talent.)
Cosplay? Look at Luke Harper's pre-WWE gimmick. It's a direct homage.
And Jocephus had a heavy inspiration from Brody.
Dude was so pathetic. Knew he couldn't take on Brody man to man, so he tricked and stabbed him.
When brody was stabbed I heard he had no aspirin in his system.
Unfortunately I born in time to ever watch Brody wrestle but I bet it was spectacular
You guys got half of the story. Look for Savio Vegas interview with Jim Cornnette on RUclips about the topic. Gonzalez got away with it cause WWC *Carlos Colon and Jovica* bought the jury to the point where they would go to wrestling shows later on to receive a large amount of money... They made this cause they made Gonzalez kill him due to some money Brody invested on the company but they didn't wanted Brody to make any changes.
Love the video. Can u do more in depth videos
Awesome Work. I enjoyed it. Brody ruled during the 1980's.
One of the Most Famous wrestlers of all time.
More of these!
He got killed in Puerto Rico and the murderer got away with it
Stan Hansen was more than influenced by brody they got into wrestling at around the same time. And you forgot Necro Butcher the one cornette said was the most like brody.
Brody was the best of all times....... shame on colon/ invader/ whole country ......tradgety
Those sherpa boots and vest-legendary
My memory was a bit hazy but i seem to recall a story by Al snow him and some other guy handicap match against Brody , and Al Snow was really scared as he had a injury and asked brody about it...and through out the match brody did not go near that injury at all (tho Al snows partner was beaten to a pulp ) and when bruiser did the finisher barely touched snow
González deserves to rot in jail for this.
Too late
Great work
Good video guys, good shit 👏🏿
Me: * hovers over video and sees Brock Lesnar *
Me: ¨I knew it. He was F5´d to death.¨
A lot of bodies are buried in suplex city, brah.
The murder of Brody is tragic, the fact that his murderer walked around free after is a disgrace.This dude CLEARLY diceded Brody needs to die and killed him... And all of that alledgidlly because Brody threw a potatoe at him YEARS ago in a wrestling ring? Yeah, sounds like self defense to me... How did the courts even made sense of their sentance oficially? They needed to reason how stabbing a dude in a shower is self defense and it has to be written down on some legal document, no?
Bruiser Brody, brains and brawns..He had a body that was built like a lion in its prime and a brain of a businessman. What a person! Not to go into any obvious details, Carlos is the brain behind the murder, Jose is just his hitman, IMO.
Nicely done.
That is a sad chapter that killed the popularity of wrestling in the island. Before that huge talent from all around the world, including lots of HOF, wrestle here.
Thats Puerto Rico for ya
I’m tired of this story. The man was a bully that fucked over promoters and other workers. What happened to him was tragic and unnecessary but when you play with fire you’ll eventually get burned.
He got stabbed and died. what the hell do you think happened?
BRODY was a wrestling god
I can totally see Bradley Cooper playing him in a biopic
Best one made so far
Watch behind the titantron from wrestlelamia
Next video : What happened to WhatCulture Football.
Colon is responsible. He wanted Fank dead because of money and stake in the company. When he showed up at the locker room they were surprised because they were expecting news of him being killed at the hotel. I will also be surprised if Dutch wasnt in on it because of all the work he got not only at that company but WWE after. Jose was told to do it because if their prior feud and it would sell in court as self defence. Colon In The WWE HOF is a sham. colon had men sent to the hospital to have the Dr's stop working on him. This was after Tony left the hospital.
What does it mean when you say you refuse to sell the defense I'm new to this not really new but I don't understand the lingo
I thought he said offense..either way. Wrestling is fake for the most part, right? Well some people wouldnt let other wrestlers fake moves on them. For benefit of a good show, but rather for there own benefit of winning instead.
@@sshlept8070 yeah I meant offense sorry
Don't pick fights and bully people and you wont get stabbed. I have no sympathy for that big crazy bastard.
Corruption is everywhere? This dude deserved to b in jail, Carlos Colon & Victor all deserve prison for covering up this crime. As Puertorrican feel ashamed. I used to admired these dudes cause I luv wresting but after this 😱 no more
Damn, tragic. Way to bring me down.
Wrestlelamia did a better piece on this topic. Good on ya for catching up though!
What about what really happened to Chris Benoit?
Kc the pickle guy Audis conspiracy theorists gonna conspiracy theory
@@kckingofpicklesaudis3151 More then just that dude, he always was falling apart emotionally and that his body has proof of Steroid abuse. This led to a tragic ending. I ask you where was the WWE at this time? NOWHERE that's where.
@steve beam made me lol
He murdered 2 people like a coward
He killed himself like a coward
End of story
The Onita thing goes deeper than WC said. Supposedly Onita wanted to get Gonzales out there because he hired a Yakuza hit on him for what happened to Brody
I think the guy that murdered bruiser Brody should have went to prison for the rest of his fucking life
More of these videos please very documentary type
Where did you get your facts from? Seems this is done based purely on opinion.
Am gonna say one thing he did Something to Gonzalzes
Do not bully others. If you think that this is a message directed towards Brody's behavior than you obviously think that he was a bully
He looks like the Briscoe Brothers, i wonder if he's related.
no
Oh.
More please
More vids like these. Plz
Prototype Lesnar? no way Lesnar's more like Backlund on steroids. Brody was like a prototype Kane. That shit back in the day when Kane would snap and start attacking every body, that was classic Brody.
3 yrs ago
Such a shame
Very interesting vid, cheers Jules
What does it say about Brody that with as popular as wrestling was in 88 he was in Puerto Rico not the Wwf, nwa, awa, world class, or japan
He was in the WWF when it was called the wwwf and he wrestled in Japan and in World Class . do your research before you talk about the man
He got stabbed to death. Saved you 6 minutes
Nothing new learned here. Nothing to see here. Move on!
I'm puertorrican and to me is Embarrasing and feel disgusted by the way Jose Gonzalez got away with this, and also how people who saw what happened never testified even more ended going back to work in that promotion years later
Mano! Tu estabas dentro de la ducha para saber si él atacó primero al Invader o no? Sólo estaban ellos dos, y conozco compañeros que estuvieron ahí esa noche y nadie vio lo que pasó antes, nadie sabe si de verdad fué defensa propia ni jamás lo sabremos, pero si la corte determinó que fue defensa propia, quienes somos nosotros para juzgar.

Did you know this happened on rusev day???
As much as I love Rusev and appreciate what you're trying to do, I don't think it's appropriate for this case.
I saw the whole thing unfold and it was a giant mess. To tell you the truth, the invader number aka José González, was protected by Carlos colón (yeah, of those colóns) and others. Puerto Rican wrestling was a shadow of what once had. Before it happened, Puerto Rico was on par with Japan and Mexico and the United States. After, no one wanted to come over to do anything. It wasn't until savio vega and Hugo zavinovich joined the wwe that Puerto Rico didn't do anything wrestlingwise# and even still, it is not even close to what is was before. I hated every minute of it and I am still angry at the invader.
Good video.
Whos the judges and cops? Let's get some names
I'm not trying to be an asshole, but how could a guy as large as Bruiser not be able to defend himself against a guy half his size, even if that guy had a knife?
