WWE Hall of Fame 2019: 5 Superstars who should be inducted into the "Legacy Wing"

#1. Bruiser Brody

Bruiser Brody: Legendary inside the ring and out

Bruiser Brody is an icon to millions and thirty years after his demise is still widely discussed in pro-wrestling circles. An inspiration to generations of wrestlers, Brody popularised wild, hardcore brawling.

Mick Foley, Mike Knox, and Luke Harper are obvious superstars who were built in Brody's image and style. Brody is one of the most famous names that WWE are yet to induct into their Hall of Fame and the reason likely is the circumstances surrounding his tragic death.

Famed for his uncooperative approach in the ring, and an aversion to losing, Brody was confronted by fellow wrestler, Jorge "Invader" Gonzalez backstage on a Puerto Rican wrestling show in July 1988.

Only Gonzalez emerged from their conversation alive. Gonzalez had stabbed Brody in the stomach and Brody would later die from his injuries.

It is difficult to imagine the circumstances surrounding his demise being discussed on the Hall of Fame stage, as the event aspires to be an uplifting one. However, Brody's continued omission from the Hall of Fame devalues it completely. WWE should rectify this in 2019 and honor the deserving legend.
