This one might be the most important because, in the end, Brody died as a result of the argument. There are different versions of how this all went down, but Gonzalez allegedly stabbed Brody over a disagreement in the shower and was never prosecuted for it. Brody was an uncooperative sort, who if he did not like something or an ending to a match or how he was used in a promotion, he would leave.

He was hard to work with. But in this case, he was the one who was on the wrong side. In 1988, Brody was in the locker room before his match with Dan Spivey in Bayamón (a city near San Juan, Puerto Rico), when José Huertas González, a fellow wrestler, and booker, asked him to go into the shower to discuss business.

Brody entered the shower stall and a few minutes later a scuffle ensued, followed by two screams, loud enough for the entire locker room to hear. Tony Atlas ran to the shower and saw Brody bent over and holding his stomach. Atlas then looked up at González and saw him holding a knife.
