A Message from the Russian Brute
Not only did I become a friend, I was fortunate to work with Bruiser Brody 2 times before his unfortunate death. Brody's last match on American soil was with The Russian Brute in Chicago.
After the match Brody went with me to have dinner at my Mother's House. He ate spaghetti, meat balls, sausage and salad. Brody was very nice to my Mother and we stayed for a bit and chatted. We left my Mother's House and proceeded to pick up Colonel DeBeers.
We went to Brody's Hotel to get his things. I drove Brody to the airport and he said we will talk when I get back from Puerto Rico. The next day I heard the bad news.
There was a Bruiser Brody Memorial in St. Louis. Jimmy Snuka, Ted DeBiase, Ox Baker and many Wrestling Superstars attended.
I can say that I have the last match and the Memorial to watch whenever I think of Brody.
He was excellent to work with and you can dispel all the comments regarding Brody being difficult. He was a teacher to me.
He was my 1st professional wrestling match with a wrestling Superstar, Icon.
If you were not nice towards him, he treated you the way you are used to being treated. He didn't take crap from anyone.
Watch for the last Brody match and the Memorial in St. Louis, they will be posted soon!
