Description
?The most unpredictable and charismatic grappler of all time? The brute that made brawling an art before the term hardcore was coined? The confrontational businessman who fought for every penny he felt he deserved? 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 didnt 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. In the 1970s and early 80s, Brody was one of the few performers, along with Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair, to be recognized as a national star. With his fiery personality, Brody also conquered the international market. Nearly two decades after his murder in Puerto Rico, Brody: The Triumph and Tragedy of Wrestlings Rebel delivers a complete portrait of Brodys remarkable life. Co-authors Barbara Goodish, Brodys widow, and Larry Matysik, a close friend, offer a first-time opportunity to truly understand one of the sports most complex and controversial human beings. Goodishs account of her husbands horrific murder and its aftermath is both heartbreaking and compelling, while Matysiks insider knowledge of the business puts Brodys place in wrestling history into perspective. With a foreword by WWE announcer Jim Ross, Brody offers readers the unvarnished truth about one of the greatest wrestling legends of all time.
