Other than Brodie dying, saddest part is they were allowed to get away with it
Puerto Rico bro.....
@@jvharbin8337 not just PR the wrestlers that were there..
Impossible to believe that nobody ever paid for a proper receipt to be delivered.
Vince made sure to take care of the killer and his family afterwards
Ask carlito
Who are "they" and who is Brodie? 😊
What was insane was the American wrestlers (witnesses/people in the locker room at the time of the murder) getting subpoenaed weeks AFTER the trial took place.
@MyLifeIsACrimeScene I know, right?😡
Atlas said he stayed there waiting and got one after the trial was over. they murdered that man in cold blood and swept it under the rug.
That's ass backwards WTF
Twice Brody was supposed to lose the first one he abandoned the fight and the second one he gave a beating to invader sending him to the hospital for weeks. If another wrestler didn’t step in he would kill him. In the hospital he promised to get him. If you try to kill a nan, don’t fail or he’ll get you.
Puertoricans can’t subpoena in the states. It’s a long process to get the States to do it.
You can look this up. There was a money dispute they went alone to talk or fight whatever. Dude used a knife and killed him. Their judges allowed him to walk. Pretty much killed wrestling in PR. It's never been the same.
They needed Tony Atlas to eyewitness testify but he lived in America, the summons for him to appear in Puerto Rico. magically showed up too late for him to respond
Ronnie Garvin in another shoot interview leads support to your money motive . He overheard in the office they were being audited and owed the Puerto Rican government huge. If they owed Brody money or Brody wanted his money back one less person to pay makes the impending tax bill a little easier .
No, why don't you provide the links, liar! 😂
@@johngallagher72 This is old many talked about it. Dude owned him money went to the bathroom alone. I assume to "talk". Got killed. No one in law enforcement really cared. As guy was scared and fought for his life. That's why no one worked there for years. Sad story
I seriously doubt Gonzalez would have fought Brody one on one and without a weapon. Gonzalez was likely afraid of Brody. Hell, Lex Lugar admitted being afraid of Brody. Look at him. HO LEE SHIT I'd HATE to think I had to fight him. So, likely, if it was about money, (and I've heard that Colon owed Brody about 50K) Colon and Gonzalez came up with a plan to take Brody out.
Crazy thing is before Brody was killed, Harley Race told Brody don’t go down to PR playing politics or something very well may happen to you, and it did!!
Get the hell out of here. Wow. smh
If you have any links to interviews or anything that talks about that, could you please share? I'd love to check it out.
I saw this on a Harley Race interview.
@@georgecosrove3651 Exactly my friend !!
@@WaldoBagelTopper his old Boston Wrestling interview when he sat down with Dan and John Cena Sr.
I remember that. He told him not to go down there with that attitude. Buddy Landel was telling how he had worked in Puerto Rico. One thing he said was when they started messing with your money it was time to leave. Carlos Colon got mad at him over something once and told him if he pulled with him he would be leaving Puerto Rico in a box and wasn't joking. Landel said he tried to tell other people down there that it was dangerous and no one would take him seriously till Brody got killed.
My understanding is that it was over money owed. Brody wanted his return on investment and if he didnt get it, he would pull support and that didnt go over well. After the murder, people played dumb and gave them a pass cause you couldnt do anything. I would have booked my flight the next day and never came back.
Sounds like a bunch of cats DID leave and never return haha!
Best response here
I once met Terry Gordy. He told me he refused to work there
Well one wrestler did just that. Atlas I think it was
Most likely it was a combination of multiple things. Other wrestlers talked about how Brody used to beat the piss out of Invader in the ring, he was upset that Invader wasn't selling more.
Invader's daughter dying (him being in a bad mental state), Carlos Colon and Victor Jovica might have been putting pressure on Invader to stand up for himself and urged him to do it because they had a benefit out of it. Money could've been one of the reasons too.
Invader definitely had some sort of personal grudge against Brody though, he was allegedly heard saying "if Brody was born again, i would do it again".
Ask him why he didn't help to get Bruiser into the ambulance when the ambulance driver asked.
Much respect Dutch Mantell to you and all the wrestlers who made this a sport from the era you wrestled and I grew up in, from child to young man.
I appreciate the insight on the Brody death. I cant imagine how sad the Invader man must have been to have lost his child then think he may lose his job. It is just sad all the way around.
I never saw Dutch Wrestle but I really like listening to him Talk.
Same here pal, love the soothing accent
Your loss then ..... Being from
West Tennessee, I grew up on
Memphis Wrestling and Dutch
was great and was always a
favorite of mine.
@@nashburnette7247 Mid-South Coliseum, baby, ya damn right!
@@nashburnette7247 Dutch was awesome, especially after he turned heel
Jose Huertas' daughter died weeks or days before. No excuse like Dutch said. But when you lose family members your mind isn't in the right place. Brody used to beat the crap out of Huertas, Invader no. 1. BTW! His last name is Huertas and not Gonzalez
In PR they use the mother maiden name. When Women married there, they do not use their husbands' name. Jose Huertas-Gonzalez. His Father's last name is Huertas' and his mother's Gonzalez.
I loved Brody. Got to see him several times in Puerto Rico. By the Condado. After his death the Lucha Libre there was not the same.
According to wiki his name is José Huertas González
Harley Race tried to warn Brody that that tough guy/bar fighter BS doesn't work in Puerto Rico!
Fuck harley
I've seen somewhere that Brody beat this guy up several times in the ring would never do the finish like they agreed just a bully
Stan Hansen said the same. Unfortunately ppl are mad because he was did in by non-Whites. If a White would have did in Brody, that person would have been a hero, a real bad ass.. it's just double standards.
FUCK puto rico
Dutch, I heard Kevin Von Erich and David Manning say in an interview that Brody bought into WWC giving them 20 grand. But I guess he didn't have a say in any matter of business that he assumed he would. So he told Manning that he was going get his money back on his next gig in Puerto Rico. Invader had just bought a big house and along w all the hell Brody gave invader in matches it was a perfect storm and ultimately his last trip to the Island.
Definitely a storm of things. Invader’s child, the money, annnnnnnd 1 more thing that’s not popular...Brody’s attitude. Not that it was an excuse to kill a guy but he was a wrestler who would protect himself first, walk out, not do business, etc. That sure didn’t help things that night.
Over the years Brodie screwed over A LOT of people in the business. In the end, the only surprise was he was STABBED to death backstage and not shot trying to swindle a wrestling promoter.
or a crooked promoter was trying to swindle him and he was having nothing of it.
That and him bullying Jose Gonzalez got him killed,I think he brought it on himself
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME!!!, never rang more true than in this situation.
Rest in Peace Frank.....And thank you😇
Justin
The real problem of the Bruiser Brody case is: "why Invader 1 has been not condemned?"
from what tony atlas said they were all in on it. he said it took over a hour to get a ER there? Brody was one of the best entertainers in the business. never saw him in nothing but a main event. atlas said if not for him they may have finished killing him. atlas does a interview on here where he tells all about it. th-cam.com/video/kh6nHeMvmGE/w-d-xo.html
Because Brody was a bully and people don’t like bullies.
@@paulbenoit6076 shut up
@@paulbenoit6076 yes, we don't. Now, with time, anybody who suffered from bullying, either they kill themselves, or try to find his or her bully and focus on hurting him or her. Even if Brody was a bully, he was killed, and the person who did it, should have been in jail. As far as fans goes, the only thing they are upset is that Invader 1 killed Bruiser Brody, not if he abused in the locker room other wrestlers, whether was fair or not.
Esteban, I read that they refused to testify. Evilness.
Ric Flair was in Virginia when Brody was killed in Puerto Rico: JCP Great American Bash Tour 1988 - Day 15
1988/07/17 @ Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia (United States of America)
Lex Luger, Sting, Nikita Koloff and Steve Williams defeated Ric Flair, Barry Windham, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard [Steel Cage Match]
Dutch was a great booker here in Puerto Rico in late 90's for WWC and early 2000's for IWA. Great moments!
He basically rebuilt it after this had killed wrestling in Puerto Rico for a long time. It’s a reason he has basically been able to get a job anywhere he feels like it in any promotion since.
What's a booker
@@60BloodyChamp60 Yeah, Dutch pretty much saved Puerto Rican wrestling from obscurity, although Savio Vega helped a lot too.
@@crazypato3752 Your mom. Oh, sorry I thought you said hooker
@@crazypato3752the person that puts the matches together
Love shoot interviews like this. Its important to catalogue the history of an industry before its no longer possible to do so through first hand accounts. Very much ww2 vetrans. Once they're gone, they're gone.
a movie needs to be made about Brody and I think Jason Momoa would be perfect to play him.
make people hate you in the lockerroom and u cant expect respect back
If Invader's daughter's death isn't an excuse for it, why did you bring it up? Fact is a death in the family (even to your own kid) is not going to turn you in to a homicidal maniac (unless the person you're killing is the one who killed your family member). Invader #1 is a murderer and we all know it. He didn't kill to avenge a death or in self-defense. He killed for Carlos Colon over money and his booking position. He goes straight to hell when he dies. And I'm sure Brody is there waiting for him (he was no saint either).
Wow, what a dumb statement. So both Brody AND his murderer are "going to Hell"? Because Brody was "no saint either"? And what, per se, did Bruiser Brody do that was even tangentially on the level of murdering someone? It's starting to sound like this "Hell" place is just a whole load of nonsense.
@@UMAMIMAMU Somebody is triggered.
@@UMAMIMAMU Just from the simple fact that Brody would take liberties with the guys he was working with tells you a lot about where he went after life.
@@jd9119 Well see, I'm not so arrogant as to presume I know what happens after we die.
@@UMAMIMAMU Maybe you should open up a Bible and take a look at the New Testament?
I can't believe Brody would put his own money in
Should have asked Dutch if it's not coincidence that he stepped out the locker room moments before it happened
Jeez Ric flair is such a pathological liar lol. What do these guys get from lying so much? It's not just a flair thing even average Joe's do it. Reminds me of people I know who claim to have gotten shot with " bullet wound scars" and survived etc etc . Then reality is that they were just doing night guard duty for some restaurant and got a wasp bite 🤣🤣🤣
Him and hogan
lol dude I think about this very same comment you made a lot.
The only think that I could safely conclude through the years is that these were old guys making it in old guy times. So remember, Hogan, Flair, all those guys lived on kayfabe. They kayfabed in the real world when they weren't working. They kayfabed at work. They kayfabed in interviews. They kayfabed in their home towns when they were driving their kids to school a few times out of the year. There was no google. no twitter. No Instagram. You couldn't fact check shit haha!!!
They are in this world where they have to make things up that aren't necessarily INTENDED to be lies, but more like tall tales. You hear tons of stories of these guys beating up like 10 cops. Dude, they'd get prison time. But to YOUR point about why Flair would lie about being in PR when Brodie got murdered- I have thought about that too. Flair (and Hogan) seem to be big on the "I was there when that happened" factor. I guess just to tie their memory to this big event that had nothing to do with them. It was always about selling themselves haha. I dunno man. Im not an expert, but you're 100% right. These cats just lie without any limits.
Wooooooooo...💯💯💯💯👏🏾👏🏾
I think it comes from a lifetime of self promotion. Constantly saying thing to fill venues, keeping kayfabe, hustling, etc etc. You didn’t just turn it on and off in the ring back then. You had to stay on to keep the money flowing.
In a fake tough man sport, it pays to be talked about more than actually being a tough guy. Stories keep their careers alive
I have read any number of accounts of Brodys death. It was tragedy.
I recently listened to Mark Youngbloods account. It was heartbreaking and seemed very authentic. He seems to still be affected by this.
They were supposed to kill him another way. Remmeber atlas said , Brodie was going to get picced up by Jose and most likely his goons . But they never went
Had that happened I honestly think Brody would have disappeared and never been found. How José can live with himself til this day is beyond me. I don’t think José is the only player in the scenario though, I think there’s a lot more to it than just José , I think he was acting on someone’s orders.
@@SandmanFightingSysexactly 💯 but also Brody has it coming for his bullying behavior towards Jose and others
@@SandmanFightingSys oh, you fantasy bookers. . . NOBODY would've been affected by Brody buying in except for Pepe (The Invader). It was a personal murder, not business.
He did it because he was a weak coward. All the explanation there is
He obviously either planned to kill Broadie or else at least suspected there to have been a confrontation with Broadie for him to have taken a knife with him into the locker room. Which leads us to believe there had been an issue prior mostly likely about money. And it's not even like he can claim he carried the knife for protection from the passionate fans in that part of the world who have been known to attack wrestlers. Because as far as i know he was a babyface and it was Broadie who was heel.
They were both babyfaces at the time.
Dutch don’t want to admit Atlas was the hero that day Brody got shanked
Other than the money part, what even more sad is that allegedly at the time, people believed wrestling was real. People believed that Brodie was crazy as his wrestling persona. Thats quoting Tony atlas and dutch in other interviews...
What is the name of the song at the beginning of the clip please?
the real truth is this...
Brody wasnt going to buy in he did. Invaders little girl drowned and he lost it and went all in. carlos told him brody bought in. Invaded would risk it all to take out brody as he was the booker and always going over in the matches and media. also when little carolito was a kid and invadter was trying to feed the family back on the island in a try out match for new york brody embaressed invader in a dark match but giving him nothing and kick him in the face hard.
Yeah that whole "Invader lost it" crap is nonsense. He would've done what he did whether or not his daughter was alive. PRians are animals and God only knows why we allow them on the mainland.
That, plus a few other things, like Brody making a joke about the Invader's 3 year old girl that drowned. This was said in a dispute they had after a match on their way to the dressing rooms.
Even worse was Colon going into HOF can’t tell me he was not in on it
Vince McMahon helped Jimmy Snuka get away with murder and he’s also in the Hall of Fame.
He wasnt. Invader acted on his own
Colon did it
If you're referring to the WWE HOF, what's even more ironic about that is that Colon allegedly pulled a knife on McMahon after he ran a show in PR.
And i believe it was the same year,Brody went in the Hof legacy wing. Probably just a sick joke on McMahon's part!
I never knew this.. I left pr in May 1982 after HS.. then years late I thought of Pierre martel, I look his name up he died about 2 month after I left pr he died. Sad
I’ve always wondered if promoters that Brody had pissed off payed Carlos to take care of Brody once and for all. He pissed off a lot of people that weren’t used to be embarrassed publicly
Bullshit
Apart from the money aspect some said one of the main reasons they killed Brody is that there was a match between Brody and one of the promoters brother or something to that affect that Brody beat the living shit out of and it was revenge for that. It's on YT somewhere.
Fascinating. Any other vague details?
Ric Flair was in North Carolina/Atlanta back in 1988
I listened to Tony Atlas talking about this incident so sad...
Bruiser was a bully and an abuser, Two weeks before the death he abused the Invader's brother Maelo Huertas after the match was over.
Tony Atlas spent the entire afternoon leading up to the stabbing with Brody. I believe Tony and his story of the events leading up to the murder has never changed. Brody was waiting for a ride from invader when Tony was leaving for the show. He got a ride with Tony instead because he was waiting for a while and risked being late. Invader was already at the show when Tony and Brody got there. I believe Carlos Colon ordered Brody's murder at the hotel or on the way to the arena from whoever they planned on sending to pickup Brody.
Carlos Colon did not order Brody's murder. Invader acted alone. How I know this? I live 15 minutes from Invader. I even went to Brody's funeral(exposure of the body). Brody's wife cremated him afterwards. Carlos Colon had no reason to kill Brody. None! Did he owe Brody money? Yes, but not enough money to kill him over it. Carlos Colon and Victor Jovica pay for Brody's funeral expenses and also paid for Invaders legal defense. They spend way more money than they owe Brody in all of that. I know exactly how much mkney they owe Brody. They owed Brody close to 20 thousand dollars. Carlos Colon was not going to kill Brody over 20k. Invader acted alone.
@@LOTW1 That's the Dumbest Comment in the History of the Internet.
@@LOTW1 he did have the hit ordered. He's a dirty SOB and it felt good when warrior mentioned Brody at the same hall of fame that piece of shit promoter colon was inducted into. Every Puerto Rican wrestler that was there knows Brody was going to buy into the territory, that's why coloown had him murdered.
@@LOTW1 You are really trying to propagate that living 15 minutes from A person means you know the intricate details of their business. Breaking News: You could live right next door and you still would have no clue if your hero ordered or conspired in the murder.
@@LOTW1 people in streets get killed over 500 bucks Mark
Dutch should have made a guest appearance on RDR or RDR2 as an NPC
WWC never recovered alot of major American stars stopped coming
Sad 😢 Justice for Brody 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I can't believe more info hasn't come out.
The only info on it is hearsay and all the hearsay has been said already. Maybe Invader on his death bed will give you the truth, but he's a Rican so I doubt it. They're animals.
Nothing more to say
Carlitos dad Carlos colon put the hit on him probably heard that for years
Bullshit
Gonzalez will have to answer to a higher power when his time comes to an end..
You didn't stick up for Brusier and you went back to work with those cowards! Some friends!
I wish someone would confront Ric Flair with his lie about being there.
"Don't go to Puerto Rico, brother!"
With all due respect to both you gentleman, I don't how we can have all have the same view about how horrible it was what sunny just did but we can't call invader the murderer that he is. It's hard to accept always but people lose their children all over the world all the time, but 99% of them don't use it as a excuse to murder someone over a business dispute during a sports entertainment event! If they weren't busy being such corrupt savages down there maybe some justice would have been done! Think about it no matter how you personally feel about the people involved.
He literally said in the video that it wasn't an excuse for the murder, just likely part of the guy's mindset.
The most fair description of the events that happened that day was explained by Ric Flair, whether he was there or not. Dutch Mantell made a lot of money in PR long after Brody was killed and he still is racist towards Puerto Ricans
I always heard it was Carlos colon. That did it ?
Well, clearly it wasnt...
In Ric Flair book to be the man he says he wasn't there so I guess over the years he's changed his story
Man growing up in p.r. and being a fan of El invader never knew about Brody till dark side and it broke my heart. But I did research And rational and irrational the truth and I mean..it's how it was then
Whether or not brody was to rough on Jose or not he still did not deserve to be murdered for a wrestling match period.
I watch the one ragging bull saying Toney Atlas did nothing when brody was stabbed by invader but Bull says he died in the lockerroom not true but bull is going by other peoples version , but only Toney knows he went to the hospital. Ps why does the guy say every lie of Hogan but Flair lies about Brody deatb and not 1 word
Imagine all the wrestlers that witnessed it but cant testify. And all American wrestlers know exactly what happened but scared. Hulk scared!
So Dutch, if you were there ...were you one of the ones that Atlas talked about just sitting around and doing absolutely nothing to help Brody while he lay there bleeding out?
He wasn't in dressing room
After hearing the story I feel like Mantell was complicit/ had foreknowledge of it. He claimed he had to leave the dressing room due to how uncomfortable the vibe was, yet still somehow bought the fan stabbing narrative, And when giving Brodie wive the news stated “he had an accident.” Yeah na sorry that just doesn’t seem logical to me. Plus wasn’t he somewhat involved with booking around this time there? That was a premeditated murder of Brodie, and Invader would simply not have done it without the “cosign” of the “higher-ups” imo.
@@Gardenhoser86Dutch was on the grassy knoll Dude haha. I would warn you about believing anything Tony Atlas ever says. He’s totally full of shit
They mightve threatened him...
Back in wwwf 1977 or 1978 brusiet Brody wrestle Jose Gonzales beat him up, too .took advantage of him.
So that justifies murder a decade later?
So he waited that long. BULLFUCKINGSHIT
The difference between Harley Race and Bruiser Brody is that Harley Race almost always was carrying a gun. He was famous for it back in the day. Nobody was going to mess with Harley in a locker room or the showers.
There was also Gary Hart (the manager) who always carried a razor. Someone sent a wrestler (Missing Link) to mess with him and missing link got all cut up.
I think Harley was more respected than Brody and I suspect that contributed to Harley not being messed with. Harley has said that he knew the family and never had any problem with them. Brody on the other hand was a bully.
Gary Hart used to manage the Missing Link so I doubt that story.
@@jimh.412 Gary Hart told the story himself. Its in his autobiography and he also told it in interviews. Ken Mantell wanted to scare Gary Hart off and tried to use Missing Link to do it.
@@tritchie6272 Brody wanted what he had coming to him, he was trying to take care of his wife and son best he knew how. Having watched multiple wrestlers get cheated out of their money he refused to be cheated. Standing up for yourself doesn't make you a bully.
@@revbud3123 Nah he was a notorious bully. Especially to Invader.
Flair also claimed to be there the night Haku bit off the guy's nose in Baltimore. Of course, that's obviously bullshit since it happened when Haku was in the WWF and Flair was in JCP
finally someone is confirming one of the stories about brody putting money in WWC.
Until his widow confirms it. And to my knowledge she never has
I recently saw an interview with a person very close to Invader and Brody from those times, he said that during a fight in the ring, Brody hit him with a chair in the back so hard, that to this day he feels havoc from that blow, perhaps the problem of Brody's demise was a sum of many events that came together to explode.
my dad always taught me every river had two banks. I never heard any of the other wrestlers complain of Brody being aggressive. guess we will never know.
@@jameswarren436 Search here in TH-cam a video titled "Bruiser Brody vs Invader in trinity", in that video recorded with good quality and sound you can see a fight between them, everything was going well until Brody tells Invader several times "stay on the floor", but Invader keeps getting up, Brody just kicked the shit out of him in the head in that fight, and that is recorded and you can hear everything perfectly...
Exactly!
Unfortunately, the bully "tough guy" Brody had it coming.
@@uiu510 what? Nobody has that coming. Well some people do but brody never did anything to warrent bleeding to death on a bathroom floor in Puerto Rico. Alone and scared never getting to say good bye to his family. His family sure as fuck didnt deserve it and invader sure as fuck didnt deserve to get away with murder. You be talking that dumb shit.
@@damiencross7334 Why don't you people learn how to write before you post. 😅🤣
One Giant Boompah!
Puño al corazón
Ric Flair is a renowned liar. Woooooooooooo.
Invader one has his karma coming still
Just as Harley Race stated in an interview, Brody was a bully and was a bully for a long time then he tried to bully someone who didnt want to be bullied who had a big knife.
No excuse for Brody to die. Fight with your hands not a weapon
So are you really defending murder?
@@alt_ronnie No, dude come on. He's saying that there are some people out there with poor impulse control and maybe, just maybe, it's not a good idea to provoke them.
Bruiser brody threw his weight on the other wrestler and he killed him flat out. Brody is a big man. I'd stab him to if he threatened me.
Yeah for those who don't know and cannot be bothered to search for more evidence Harly Race is on video saying to Brody that he will get killed in PR if he takes his attitude there. Race was right.
Caught Brody lacking
Why would anyone have let Brody invest in their business? That seems like a terrible idea to me. Brody was not exactly known for being reasonable, to allow him any influence beyond that as an in ring talent just seems foolish. He was not the type to be a "Silent Partner."
as an incentive to have him keep coming as a performer, he was huge box office and a lot of wrestlers did not like going to Puerto Rico.
He was very reasonable. He didn't let promoters screw him
What the Hell is Dutch talking about?????? Ric Flair never claimed to be there when Brody was murdered. I read his book, I'm sure I would have remembered that. He did talked about Brody's murder but he never claimed to be there.....
Its a shame that ANY of wrestlers continued to work in Puerto Rico
All these people were there but didn't help according to Tony. Only 1 person went to the police/gave their eyewitness testimony according to his wife. I would be ashamed to say if i was there... but what do i know, im just some random internet comment
It honestly would have made no sense to remove Invader as they were doing their best business ever and their shows were some of the best wrestling at the time (if you dont speak spanish you wouldnt know) Brody wanted to remove Invader because he didn't like him, that's all. A lot of people didn't like Invader but the man could sell a card, put asses on seats, plain and simple🤷
Brody looked like Sandow
Harley Race said Brody was a bully
That coward got away with it and vince being the dummy he is put Carlos another coward in the HOF
Flair lied?? I'm shocked....
Invader can't hide from God
Well - God didn't do a great job looking after Brody, so why would The Invader hide from him.
Got away with 1st degree murder, piss on Invader and daughter, they were all involved, Abdullah probably involved too
The motivation for the murder had to be about money.
GOD BLess
Dutch tells a good story about this. Tony Atlas does too. Very interesting.
rick flair a notorious liar
What a shame!!! Greed will always do it!!!
You can basically write off anything dutch mantel says as bullshit
The guy telling the story that he rode in the ambulance with him, never thought to ask the man to establish who had stabbed him nor write down the culprits ' names. Getting concrete proof and evidence to get justice. Now I have to speculate if he was a "true friend"
Go ahead and say the invaders name. Just say it.
things like this is why I stay in the USA when you cross over to another country the rules change. Tony Atlas was there and his story on Brody was disgusting. they basically let the man die.
Lmao Puerto Rico isn't a 3rd world country its a U.S Territory
@@dary0097 its like another country far from home and the rules change. ask any of brodies family they all was in on killing him. police ,hospital they were all holding hands. according to Tony Atlas he said the doctors were instructed to let him die. you tell me
@@jameswarren436 This is something that could happen Anywhere even here in The U.S you act like The U.S is Soo "Legit" and "Honest "🤣 It is Sad what happened to Bruiser But you act like ALL were in on it , Savio Vega was one who actually warned Atlas "Hey leave they looking for you" Alot were against it and all of the people /The Fans didn't know what happened, so don't act like it was The Whole Places / People's Fault ..... th-cam.com/video/cC1IME15ZEw/w-d-xo.html
@@dary0097Puerto Rico in the 80s was a violent corrupt hellhole
Listen I have watched every interview every shoot on Bruiser Brody and what happened to him and I believe with all of my heart these guys know more than what they've been saying especially Dutch here sent for years and one of the things is I believe with all my heart that they knew exactly what happened that night that's no that bruiser had been stabbed and that he was laying right there dying but they all were cowards and didn't do anything about it. And how in the hell is someone going to walk into a locker room full of wrestlers and stab somebody and you guys sit right there and let it happen!! That is just shameful!! You guys pretend like you're big and bad wrestlers but yet when someone's losing their life right in front of you you curl up like a bunch of girls and don't do anything I'd be ashamed!!
the stabbing was in the showers, nobody was watching it. But you are right there are a lot of shady things going on. Like it seems an odd coincidence Dutch was out counting the crowd when it happened, you get the feeling he was told it might be smart to take a walk for fifteen minutes or something. And he went back to PR and booked when most did not want to go there. But he also had limited employment options at the time. I try to give Dutch the benefit of the doubt but you still wonder....
Agree
Not sure why there wasn't legal intervention in this matter. This is a U.S. territory. Send a message to have this little coward at the airport with marshals waiting to fly him to the states. If they do not comply, send troops. Is that extreme?...yes. But to have a US territory operating like the wild west.....no.
Is that the same invader that was a jobber in WWF?
Biggest murder in Puerto Rico was what Invader 1 did to the wrestling business in PR.
Brody was a 6'8 giant while Invader is roughly 5'11. While it's understandable Invader felt intimidated in some way, still no excuse to bring a knife. Like Dutch said, probably he wasn't in his right mind. Still no excuses. He should have been charged with something. Pretty sure his lawyers proved somehow self defense cause of the difference in sizes and that somehow Brody threatened Invader (truth or not).
I always find it absolutely mad that in the year 2022, people have the common knowledge that Invader 1 murdered Brody. But nothing ever happened.
But that's Puerto Rico for you. I am very familiar with the way the legal system there works. PR is nothing more than a 3rd world country wearing an American Commonwealth costume.
Yup. And when things go bad, they cry to America.
@@naturallawman2965 and when America go to war they cry to Puerto Rico for soldiers.
@@naturallawman2965 When you're a US territory you're gonna cry to the US. lol
Every time Dutch speaks he says " I wrote about it in my book". We understand you have written a couple of books. We get it by now.
no harm in promoting. bet it is a good read.
BRODY WAS A HUGE KNOW BULLY SO I REALLY DONT CARE
This won’t be a popular take but Brody was a bully who liked to push around bookers and promoters and he just messed with the wrong guy. PR was a dangerous territory for a reason. I’m not the only one who feels that way.
Harley Race: “I told Frank that if he goes over to that island with that kind of attitude he won’t come back alive and that’s pretty much what happened.”
He wasn't a bully. He was a guy who would stand up to promoters who cheated him over money. But he foolishly went to war with gangsters in PR without understanding what doing that meant and what he would have to do.
If most guys got cheated by a promoter, they would just cease to do business with them and not go back to PR. Brody tried to do it a different way and paid the price. He wasn't a bully. He was just dumb.
@@Jim-Tuner I think he was a bully. I seen an interview where Watts said he didn't use Brody cause Brody wouldn't keep his word. Brody would agree to come in for a Price, then right before the show when you couldn't cancel or replace him he would demand extra. I guess he also would sometimes be excessively rough and hurt people. Seems like Dr. D was one of the few people who liked working with Brody.
@@tritchie6272 funny watts is known for not keeping his
@@tritchie6272 When Brody was starting wrestling, he had a match with Danny Hodge. Brody refused to sell for him because Hodge was 10" shorter and 100+ lb lighter than him. Of course, Hodge was a 3x NCAA D1 wrestling champ and olympic silver medalist, as well as a national golden gloves boxing champion. Hodge made him sell by putting him in painful positions.
Every American wrestler, manager and promoter should have never worked Puerto Rico ever again.
All I'm reading in the comments are fantasy bookers, not sane opinions.
