Why We Watch, Exhibit M

Over the past few months, Arabian Facebuster has recognized and honored some of the all-time great wrestlers and promotions in the annals of professional wrestling. And the not so great. However, what validity would an inventory of this sort have without the inclusion of Bruiser Brody? Although I intended that to be a rhetorical question, allow me to answer it anyways -- None...None whatsoever.

Therefore, in order to rectify this oversight, please direct your attention to this squash match from Puerto Rico's World Wrestling Council, featuring Bruiser Brody taking on a jobber by the name of El Exotico who may very well be a long lost DeBarge brother. According to honeybun138 (the individual with the silly handle but impeccable wrestling taste who posted this clip), this was Brody's last match before being ruthlessly stabbed to death in the locker room showers by Jose Gonalez (aka Invader I), which would put this clip in July of 1988. While I can neither confirm nor deny this contention, I have no doubt -- based on visual evidence like Brody's graying beard and the Bell Biv DeVoe hair style of his hapless opponent -- that this match took place in Brody's final days.

If you are in a particularly morose mood, a downright eerie clip of Brody wrestling his murderer in an oddly configured outdoor stadium (i.e. no fans around ringside) can be viewed here.

Enjoy watching this consummate, unrivaled performer in action!
