Would've loved to see Brody vs Hogan or Backlund! Would've loved to see Brody & Hansen vs Murdoch & Adonis. Those would've been great matches in the WWF. RIP Brody!!!
This is what wrestling was like when i started watching it back around 1980. Flair in his prime against one of the baddest sob's ever to step foot in a ring. Undertaker's first match was against Bruiser Brody.
I know what you mean. As a kid, I watched alot of different sports on TV. And I always wondered why in any other sport, if you cheated, even if the ref. didn't see, if it was caught on camera, there would still be some kind of disqualification. Yet this didn't apply in wrestling (I also wondered why the refs. in wrestling were the most incompetent when it came to catching cheating...XD....).
I remember Ric Flair saying that he took on Brody in a Japanese wrestling rule match in the U.S. Is this one of them?. Also when Brody has Flair's head in a lock, Ric put his foot on the rope, shouldn't the ref had told Brody to let Ric go? why did he put Ric's foot off the rope shouldn't that have been a break?
yes, but Muchnik was out then. This was after Larry had left the St. Louis Wrestling Club after Race, Gagne, and Pat O'Conner pumped the Kansas City politics and booking style into the Club. Sam had retired from everything by then and Larry had had enough and went rogue. This was booked during the period where Larry and Brody had their own promotion at war with the STL Wrestling Club. Shortly before Matysik went to work for Vince.
It's funny. When I was a teenager in the mid-eighties I used to read in Pro Wrestling Illustrated and the other apter mags that
Ric Flair was the greatest wrestler in the world but I thought to myself, "But he's always getting the crap beat out of him in every match." Little did I know- that was his job!
Two out of three falls and they went 60 minutes If I remember correctly.

The whole dynamic of wrestling was different back when they were still sort of pretending it was real.

@rosario508 great thing about flair, is he could make any wrestler look awesome, he was epic at putting his opponents over, but still getting the win
