Book Reviews of Brody: The Triumph and Tragedy of Wrestling's Rebel
Book Review: A True Tribute To Bruiser Brody
Summary: 5 Stars
This book written by Bruiser Brody's widow, Barbara and one of his best friends, Larry Matysik, who was also a promoter for St Louis, is simply a wonderful read. The readers take a journey through the rememberance of who Frank Goodish/Bruiser Brody was. I absolutely adored reading the book, getting to see who my all time favorite wrestler was. Frank Goodish was a gentle giant. Unfortunately, there is A LOT of lies and misinformation online regarding this late great wrestler. Brody didn't take any nonsense from anyone, specially proters and bookers. He was indeed a very smart business man. I just fell in love with the man all over again after reading what he was like. Barbara tells us about their romance, married life, games promoters tried to play, the WORST part of this book is reading about Bruiser Brody's murder. Not much can shock me. Especially since I was raised in Chicago. LOL But, the brutal, senseless murder of Brody shocked me. What's worse is how long this man laid bleeding and severely injured before being taken to the hospital and then the cover up in Puerto Rico. UNBELIEVABLE!
That piece of snot who murdered Bruiser Brody, taking him away from himself, his wife,their son, his parents, sisters, friends and his fans, was allowed to change clothes, wrestle the same night after the murder.
This book gives us an idea of who Bruiser Brody was as a wrestling personality and also we see who Frank Goodish was as well. I have to say. I miss BOTH personalities!This book contains some wonderful pics of Brody in action,at home with his wife and son, out with friends, leaving to go to the airport and more!
There are truly beautiful stories are shared which will make you feel closer to Brody and you'll miss him more. I HIGHLY recommend this great book about an incredible man who was taken from the world too soon.
