The 7 Most Inexcusable Omissions From The WWE Hall Of Fame

#2 Bruiser Brody

Will Brody be part of the 2019 Legacy Wing?

The man born Frank Goodish did not wrestle that much for Vince McMahon Jr. or Sr., but no Hall of Fame is complete without the man who popularised the wild brawling style of wrestling.

Brody won a wide range of championships for the NWA and All Japan as well as several regional promotions, however what he was most famous for was his extreme reluctance to losing.

Brody very rarely lost and when he was booked to do so, he was likely to be extremely uncooperative. One famous incident occurred during a 1986 cage match with Lex Luger when Brody abruptly stopped selling for Luger's offence.

Believing Brody had gone mad and fearing for his safety, Luger exited the cage to the car park and drove away from the arena as quickly as he could!

Restricting Brody's admission to the Hall of Fame is likely due to two reasons. The fact that he is not well known amongst the current fanbase and the tragic circumstances regarding his death. Brody was murdered in 1988 by fellow wrestler Jorge Invader Gonzalez prior to a card in Puerto Rico. It is difficult to see that matter addressed on stage at the Hall of Fame, which largely tries to portray the business in a positive light.

Brody will be inducted one day but it might well be as part of the Legacy Wing.
