In my fantasy booking, Hogan and Savage feud into WM3, and it is Brody who beats Andre. Then, WM4, Brody VS Hogan.

He was still alive when both WM3 and WM4 happened.

Comes in Summer of '88. Works with Hogan/Savage (maybe Brutus) alongside Bossman/Akeem/Slick throughout the Summer/Fall program. Sticks around until Wrestlemania working with some mid card face for the payday (Beefcake/Duggan/Roberts/Rooster). Goes back to Japan in '89. Comes back for a big WCW part timer contract alongside Japan dates.

If he didn't jobbed to Inoki and Baba, I can't see him losing to Hogan, besides the way Vince is such a control freak, Brody would've gotten pissed off and leave. Maybe he would've done business, but based on his reputation I can't see McMahon trusting him.
I think hearing stories about him trying to kill towns just because the promoters pissed him off, like sitting in a headlock for an hour or attacking a handicapped kid, or attacking a fan with a vomit filled mop, he would've gotten blackballed from the business entirely.

He'd probably end up rolling around in fireworks C4 explosive with Terry Funk in FMW. Ugh I'm picturing him having a shitty match with Tiger Jeet Singh were nobody sells anything.

Also on a frequently noticeable and more aware stage I just don't see the gimmick working...Specially something you can market outside of a freakshow...Brody doesn't evolve like the Undertaker's persona did...

He would have hopefully had one match with Togi Makabe and it would have been f***ing brutal.

He would have been given a sword, paired with Mr. Fuji, dressed like a Viking in the WWF, and called the Berzerker. After sometime of hating it, and claiming he was lied to by Vince about a world title run, he would be back in Japan.

I think a lot of people are just trying to cram Brody in a spot. Do most of these scenarios work? Sure, are they better than what Hogan was doing 86-88? Certainly not during the height of Hogan and Andre.
I guess after losing the title Brody could have come in and feuded with Hogan but I'm not certain it'd be more profitable than Mega powers v Mega Bucks.
One would have to assume had he come to WWF he might have lived so who knows what would come after that.

Honestly, the guy would drift between WCW, the indies and Japan like Dr. Death did. I don't see a program with Hogan happening, let's not pretend he's a saint because of his tragic death, he had a reputation for refusing to job and the crap he pulled on Lex Luger pretty much guaranteed he would never, ever be put in a main event program in the WWF because he simply couldn't be trusted. Brody may have liked money but the WWF had their pick of all the biggest stars in wrestling and most of them weren't the potential headache he was.

I dunno, Hogan feud money is a hell of a drug. Bill Watts gave an awesome quote about telling Brody why he didn't book him, "Frank you're my friend but your word doesn't mean anything." He became the most unreliable man in wrestling by f***ing everyone. I don't think he deserved the opportunity to be trusted with a Hogan feud.

There wasn't a large window for Brody to face Hogan, considering his age and Vince's long term booking for Hogan at the time. Savage and Warrior were pretty much locked in for their Wrestlemania matches. So I think the best bet for Brody vs Hogan was either Summerslam 90/91 or WM 7/8.
Other than that, probably working heavily in Japan with a stop in WCW in 90/91. It really depends how long he continued wrestling and if his body could hold up. But I seriously doubt Bill Watts would have ever brought him in. If he was still competing from 93-94, he might have came to WCW then and even made a stop in ECW. Remember, people still got paid in ECW when Tod Gordon was financing the show, it was after he left in '97 that Heyman starting stringing people along.

I feel like you can look at Stan Hansen's career trajectory and have a pretty good idea of exactly how it would have played out.

I could see him in the Watts era of WCW actually. Heck, have him team with Stan Hansen against Williams and Gordy.

1990 seems to be the consensus but honestly if Brody had come in maybe 4 years earlier, that's where he would draw money. We seem to think he would have made millions in 1990 when business as a whole was going down the shitter. So 1990 makes sense from a storyline stand point but if he had come in after Wrestlemania 1, and gotten the main event for Wrestlemania 2 it would have been a decent spot. Why? A couple of reasons:
1. WM 2 stunk. You could easily put Bundy in another match i.e. the battle royal in Chicago. Brody vs. Hogan in LA in 86 would have been a great spot. 2. Paul Orndorff was allegedly making 20 grand per week for his summer-winter feud with Hogan. Dude raked in close to half a million in 6 months. Now just imagine Brody there a year earlier. Probably would have done bigger business. 3. You still keep the timeline in tact, so we still get Orndorff/Hogan, and Hogan/Andre

All I know is if he worked in ECW, he would've beat the f*** out of Heyman if he tried to bullshit him.

I feel like you can look at Stan Hansen's career trajectory and have a pretty good idea of exactly how it would have played out. Pretty much. And keep in mind, Hansen is 3 years younger than Brody. I don't think he'd have still been wrestling regularly by the time Heyman had the book in ECW. Brody would have been 51 years old when ECW holds its first PPV.

They'd probably bring him in for a one-shot deal against someone like Sabu or Raven.
