The death of Brody was one of the biggest travesties ever in professional wrestling. The fact that his killer pretty much got off scott free is a complete injustice. Despite his gimmick, Brody was apparently one of the nicer guys on the circuit.

I'm not saying his death was justified or anything, but everything I've ever heard about Brodie indicates that he was a dick.

hell no bruiser brody and mike knox should never be compared Why not? Knox has to have some sort of potential to be given the spotlight the way he has here recently... and his look is very comparable to Brody... but it is in the work that he can do in the ring that makes the comparison. Brody was a big man that could use psychology and could move... Knox is showing those same features... it is in a slightly more subdued way (his smacking around of Rey and Evan Bourne as examples), now if he were to start acting like the "Wildman from New Mexico" I do think that he would be a possible major draw in time. I know that there are some strong feelings out there about making this kind of comparison, but look at the basics here... Brody was extremely influential and ahead of his time... leaving behind a hell of a legacy when it came to the wrestlers that he would influence, so why not make the comparison with Knox? Jim Duggan is not criticized for the comparison of he and Brody... www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5SWBCr3AQ8And Hacksaw even brings up John Nord in the interview, so again there are other comparisons that have been made, and Knox is a hell of a better worker than John "Berzerker" Nord.

He's talented, not quite on Bruiser Brody's level, but talented none the less. He would also need to be much more wild in the ring, and in better shape. Brody could go an hour without taking a deep breath. I wish they would have pinned Dolph Ziggler anyway, and keep Knox as the monster he is. But Ziggler's undefeated!

I've just heard stories about Brodie holding up promoters for more money, if he even showed up at all.
