Terry Funk vs Bruiser Brody 1981 11 30

[@deanvaughan8536]

This was the wrestling I grew up on, no modern day wrestler could do what these men did. Thanks for the memories.

[@harryhanz1690]

What was it like living in 1980s Japan?

[@snarkyguy2657]

7:23 - that fall to the outside was always such a thing of beauty. RIP Terry (and Brody).

So crazy how popular Westerners were in Japan. I need to see more Terry Funk in Japan cuz I have never seen a crowd want him so bad there. They wanted whatever he was giving away.

R.I.P. Bruiser Brody and Terry Funk

[@FredF-if4wq]

I had pictures of the great Bruser Brody and the great Terry Funk all thru my Trapper Keeper in elementary school.

[@Bandana_Boi]

Riding out this absolutely nuts thunder storm with this Terry Funk tribute. Love you, Funker 🤟

[@EdsterIII]

Terry Funk IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE HARD-CORE KING! I'm not taking anything away from the ECW guys but Funk was HARD-CORE before HARD-CORE was even a thing. Mick Foley was damn good as well, but the Funker is the MAN!

[@EdsterIII]

I grew up in the 70's. The AWA's All-Star Wrestling show was our favorite back then. I was so lucky to be able to see some of the most legendary wrestlers ever. Nick Bockwinkle with Bobby the🧠Brain🧠 Heenan, Andre the Giant, the Crusher, Dick the Bruiser, Mad Dog Vachon, "The Claw" Baron Von Rachtke, and so many more. Nowadays Wrestling, or as Mr. Moneybags McMahon calls it Sharts Entertainment, or SH*T as we call it is nothing close to what these legends did. Guys like Terry Funk, Bruiser Brody, and others were pounded night after night. They took some serious beatings. And before anyone cries, it's "fake", I KNOW the end results are pre-determined, and many of the moves are done with safety in mind, I'd like to see ANY of the critics or other detractors take one week of what these guys took for decades! The gashes, the cuts, the pile drivers, the chair shots, and all of the other brutal and vicious shots they gave and took weren't 🪶feather🪶 or pillow shots. Guys like Funk and Brody busted their *sses for decades to compete for the crowds, to get the fans to scream and yell! They were brilliant, talented, and were able to take more punishment than any man could or should take. Their endurance to be able to go for 20-50 minutes, punching, throwing, flipping, and flying everywhere is a testimony to their dedication and incredible stamina and willingness to give their fans one hell of a show! For that I give ALL of these men and women so much RESPECT! They are true legends and absolutely amazing athletes! Their work will live on forever and their legacy will never ever be forgotten! To all of those we've lost, some of them FAR FAR TOO SOON! Rest in Peace. 🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏RIP🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊🙏🕊 Terry Funk Windham Rotunda (Bray Wyatt) Bruiser Brody Brody Lee Owen Hart Davey Boy Smith The Von Erich family Chyna The list is far too long but EVERY SINGLE ONE of them deserves our respect and our love. So many of them have passed on much too soon. Keep their families, their children, brothers, sisters, parents, friends, and fans in your prayers. All of them worked extremely hard to keep you on the edge of your seats, and whether you were screaming their names or booing them as loud as you could, they did it so fans of all ages could rally around their hero, or boo against the villains! Again whichever it was, they did it for us, their fans, and for their families. The 70's and 80's had some really incredible wrestlers, and they had some of the most brutal matches ever. Guys like Abdullah the Butcher were insane in the ring and their scars they had long after their retirement 😳 proved that fact! Not every match was a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ classic, however the true legends ALWAYS gave you their all everytime they came out to the ring! RESPECT!! 100% RESPECT!!

Can you imagine Tony Kahn having to deal with Brody. He’d have really feared for his life.

[@tomhankins87]

Brody was very easy to work with regarding his booking. You either paid him what he wanted or you didn't book him.

[@Stampede-u2y]

Mr.Funk！ Thank you very much. Please rest in peace…

[@jamesrichardson3322]

RIP Terry Funk and Bruiser Brody, Bruiser Brody killer got away with murder 🤬. I was 11 years old during this match.

[@kevincampbell5785]

I was 11, too. Great match. Huge shame about Brody's killer getting off scot free.

[@jamesrichardson3322]

​​@@kevincampbell5785 It was Jose Huertas Gonzalez aka Invader I, who killed Bruiser Brody. Lots of people were lying about what happened that night in that locker room in Puerto Rico. Tony Atlas told the truth about what happened, but before he could come testify the jury decided and found Invader I NOT guilty on all charges. Abdullah the Butcher didn't tell the full truth of what happened to Brody, that day🤬. Tony Atlas had leave Puerto Rico afraid for his life, because he gave a statement and was going to testify against Invader I. Bruiser Brody played a crazy person well 😂, he was terrifying when I was a kid. I saw him wrestle in the AWA and World Class Championship Wrestling.😢 Breaks 💔 my heart he was gone so soon, him and Gino Hernandez, Chris Adams, Von Erics Brothers and list goes on from great 70's and 80's wrestlers. I had the wrestling magazines that cover the death of Brody and Chris Adams Von Erics Brothers and Gino Hernandez. Lost them when I moved.

[@松渓努-v7y]

テリーが6:49〜7:00でセルフカットしていますね。カメラはブロディの手をアップで写し、視聴者の注意をテリーから逸らそうとしている。会場客は気づかないのか。その後にテリーはリング下に転落するのだから、場外でセコンド陣に周囲を取り囲ませて、隠れてカットした方が良い。リング中央でのカットは発見されるリスクが高い。 ブロディも9:57でセルフしています。当時にテレビを観ていたが、まだプロレスビギナーだったから気づかなかった。今なら分かる。こんなことで自分が成長したと感じさせてくれるテリーとブロディに謝謝。

[@izumo4283]

テリーとブロディという、お互い自分の頭をカットすることが多いレスラーの対戦。6:47 テリーがうずくまっている間に自分の頭をカット。9:56 ブロディがロープにもたれてる間に自分の頭をカット。ブロディはあらかじめ右手に握り込んでるのが分かりますね。切った後は背を見せて逃げる途中でタイツに隠してる。

Brody should go to WWF or WCW early 1980s safe and more money more organized well know he would be famous 100 time than he is Vince created superstar character

[@doryenmctown4795]

Yes he would have more money but I doubt he’ll be more beloved as he is now by his fans. He probably have been what Meng/Haku was-in terms of gimmick. There’s a certain charm with his career trajectory although it lead to his eventual murder. He’s still up there as one of the baddest mofos in wrestling.

[@hiptrip99]

Brody loved to support small markets in US, from his interview on the Japanese media. Cause he made a fortune in Japan.
