It's times like these that I wish that wrestling companies could put aside their own ...agendas? (can't think of the correct word to fit here) and come together to focus on the individual.
I don't mean a combined tribute show, as nice as that would be, because it would have to be a much better world for that to happen. Something as simple as everybody saying, "Any footage we own that you want to use in your tribute is fair game."
Since it's pretty much agreed that WWE's video tributes are top class it would be nice if they with their resources, as well as doing their own version which would understandably focus on his time there, did a more generic one with footage from all companies that they allowed everybody to use.

this is just such a shock, breaks my heart so much, he was such a talent that was FINALLY going to get rewards, it hurts so much he didn't the pop he deserved debuting in NY for AEW, his win over cody and the demolition angle and dog collar match was so amazing I was so hyped to see where he would go next
Bray wyatts post about it just kills me god..this just sucks.

wwe.com have a page with a collection of tweets from people here. I don't know if that's all of them, but there's 30+ there.

Remembering how he said his son would go to bed with the TNT title real hits hard now.

I am down on WWE for stuff, for a variety of reasons, lately, but I am glad they're seemingly quite sincere in their mourning of Brodie. Shit obviously didn't work out, but the grief expressed by the wrestlers to Steph's tweet about the two of them connecting due to being dedicated parents, it does feel earnest, and it's appreciated that they're not throwing a fit about the frank discussion about someone from AEW. This is, and should be, bigger than companies.

This is so sad. Brodie and his wife made a beautiful family. I actually read through the ENTIRE 20 page thread, which is something I rarely do in tribute threads, because I just assume that it will just be a lot of "RIP" posts, which there is nothing wrong with, but here, I enjoyed seeing how beloved he was by his coworkers and peers. He is one of those guys who I don't think that I have ever read or heard a bad word about. Would the wrestling business and the world in general be a better place with more Brodie Lees in it? Yeah, yeah, yeah!!!

I woke up to this news and it doesn't feel real. Losing a great performer and an even better man who was so respected by his colleagues hurts so much.

I am still in shock about this. I feel like that match with his son and Kenny made more sense. I think he knew he didn’t have much time yet, knew his son’s dream was to be a wrestler and AEW gave him a chance to see his son achieve his dream before he passed.

That’s just utterly stunning and heartbreaking. RIP.
Dude was just reaching his stride, too. So awful.

Just on my break at work and this completely floored me. Saw Anna Jay’s broken heart emoji on Twitter and wondered what that was about, opened it up and a load of people saying RIP to Brodie Lee. Stunned.
I just kept saying “No no no no no no” in my head but unfortunately it is true. Incredibly sad RIP Brodie Lee.

You know when the love is fake and when people are clout chasing
This ain't it. The wrestlers and everyone involved loved this man genuinely

I woke up around 2am and was just going through my youtube feed to throw something on to help me get back to sleep and I came across this and was in utter shock. I came straight here and read this thread. I can't believe it. I watched his last match with Cody a couple of months ago and little did I know that would be it. He did an awesome backstage promo wanting a dog collar match with Cody a couple of weeks before their final match.
Wow I didn't sleep most of the night. This death has hit me harder than nearly any wrestling death. I'm in such shock, he was still an active wrestler.
RIP Brodie, I wish only the best for your family and friends.
