Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen.
Back in the 1970s when I got my start in the biz, so did these two physically intimidating athletes from West Texas State University. Brusier, real name Frank Goodish, and Stan “The Lariet” Hansen both played football at West Texas and came into the Mid South wrestling territory around 1973-74 and were made a tag team by booker Cowboy Bill Watts. Both Brody, who will have a book on his life published soon that I have written the forward for, and Stan went on to have great careers especially in Japan for many years. Hansen is also known for breaking WWF legend Bruno Sammartino’s neck which saw Hansen get legit death threats. Brody was murdered in a locker room shower at a wrestling event where the alleged murderer walked free in Puerto Rico. These two men were two of the toughest and most talented men I ever met and would challenge the character of many men who “think” they are wrestlers in today’s marketplace.

Both Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen were exceptional athletes and were excellent in their days. These physically intimidating men came into wrestling in the middle of 1973 -1974. They were football players in West Texas before. They were made tag team partners by booker Cowboy Bill Watts. Both of them had a wonderful career during that time as well as later on !However both of them had a bad future as Hansen was always under legit death threats for breaking WWF legend Bruno’s neck. Bruiser was murdered in a locker room. After reading all this one thing comes into my mind. “Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword"

Mr. Ross, I am a man of 57 years old, and friends mean everything to me. I have always admired you and wish I could have been your friend. I believe I stand for everything you do, friends are forever and hard work pays off. Thank you, Chuck Zimmer
It is a shame that people don't understand wrestlers are human like us, but some come with a bigger then life ego. But this is natural if you are from the human race. ,

Brusier Brody was a darn good wrestler,and you never knew what he was going to do and neither did the promoters.The man that killed Bruiser was the promoter of Puerto Rican Wrestling.He had the Police and everyone else in his back pocket.I got to see the Undertaker first match with Bruiser Brody.Bruiser showed him what the bussiness was all about.Bruiser is a Hall Of Famer.
I'm going to answer Caper's question.. It happened in Puerto Rico. Puerta Ricans do not care, US law does not apply there, and I'm sure the man who did it would not care if he couldn't enter the United States.
Hi JR, regarding the BRUISER BRODY murder, do you think that w/ today's technology, the proper authorities could re-open BRODY's case & put his murderer behind bars where he rightfully belongs?
