There's no doubt about the fact that Bruiser Brody is considered one of the greatest brawlers the sport has ever known. In fact, he is considered an innovator in brawling techniques and battling outside the ring in pro wrestling. Many fans point to his bloody brawls with Abdullah the Butcher as one of the highlights of late 1970's/ early 1980's wrestling.

While his brutal and bare knuckled style stood out, that wasn't all there was to Frank Goodish in the ring. Bruiser Brody was capable of technical wrestling, and could work a match with a great deal of nuance. Brody remembered the cardinal rule of pro wrestling matches, namely that they should tell a compelling story with a beginning, middle, and end.

It was his ability to work great matches that made Brody a legend as much as his massive size and larger than life crazy man persona.
