Brody: The Triumph and Tragedy of Wrestling's Rebel


Add your own review!

Overview

""Bruiser"" Brody had no peers when it came to blood and guts, controversy and independence. Most wrestling promoters portrayed their top talent as exactly that kind of free-spirited, take-no-guff personality. They didn't mean it, though — which explains why so few would admit to respecting Brody even as they featured him time and again. So why did they give him work? Simple. ""Bruiser"" Brody delivered the goods in the ring and at the box office.
