This generations answer to the late great Bruiser Brody? The below video is something I found on Bruiser... and after the last few weeks, I couldn't help but come to the conclusion that Mike Knox has some of the same attributes (Not just the beard) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSnyc3AmsHIWhat do you think?

As far beard's go, I suppose. It's probably what he's going for.

what was brusier brody's gimic? He was a giant wild man. His gimmick, more or less, was being himself though in RL he was a very intelligent and very, very shrewd business man.

Bruiser Brody was pretty instrumental in inspiring gimmicks like Cactus Jack, though of course Terry Funk also influenced that.

In order to be the new Bruiser, Knox would have to be at least somewhat of a threat to the main eventers when he gets in the ring with them. Last night he was a beast against everyone on the face team until Cena got in there. Once that happened, he turned into the new Mike Sharpe.

True, but that is affected by booking... but in that same point, he was a real beast against even Shad Gaspard, and Shad was possibly the biggest if not 2md biggest guy in the match.

I think Rey was being made to look like a little bitch for weeks, so he needed to get even at least once to look credible.

In essense, Knox got built up by beating down Rey repeatedly only to get fed to Cena. That is fine in itself, I guess, but it hurts Rey's image a bit in my eyes. Then again, that has been WWE's modus operandi when it comes to Rey for the last several years anyways, so why should I have expected anything different from them?

I am really liking Knox. He has a lot of talent and moves pretty fast for a big guy. I think it is obvious he is going for a Bruiser Brody inspired gimmick and it is working. i think he could be main eventing in about a year if they keep pushing him like the way they have been.

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.

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. Considering that Kane was in the match, the standard way to save face is for him to get tired of a partner, hit him with a massive uppercut to set up a face's finisher, and let him get pinned. Considering that Miz had some issues with him, he should have gotten pinned in that manner.

Maybe he could do it in the ring and that's still debatable, but there's no way he could do it outside of it, no way he could create a character as charismatic as Brody. Wrestling's changed too much for that. Cactus was the closest to come to Brody, maybe a Sandman to a limited extent, but nobody has equaled Brody's ability to convince fans that he was an absolute wild man; heck, a lot of that was due to the territory system and oversea's work, things that simply can't be done again.
