Jim Cornette on What If Bruiser Brody Worked With Hulk Hogan 

If Bruiser had played along, yeah, that would've been amazing.

Nothing wrong with a good Hoss Match, with the right guys it can be better than the most high-flying acrobatic special

tmage23 Yeah dude. The match between Andre The Giant and Stan Hansen that's on RU-vid, that you mentioned, is their match from September 1981 in New Japan Pro Wrestling. That was a couple of months before Hansen left NJPW for All Japan Pro Wrestling, and showed up as the cornerman for the team of Bruiser Brody & Jimmy Snuka in their match against Dory Funk, Jr. & Terry Funk in the Finals of the AJPW Real World Tag League tournament in December 1981. At the time, that was a major move for Giant Baba against Antonio Inoki, because 6 months prior, June 1981, Antonio Inoki had got Abdullah The Butcher to leave to Baba and All Japan Pro Wrestling, and sign a contract to join New Japan Pro Wrestling. And that was a MAJOR move for Inoki and NJPW, because at the time that gave Abdullah The Butcher the largest contract in pro wrestling history. Sorry.....got off topic there. Matches from that era make me think of all the major moves being made by Baba and Inoki, and how equally great their promotions were due to Baba and Inoki constantly trying to one up each other. As for the match itself....i thought it was a great match. Seeing Hansen go toe to toe with Andre, not backing down at all, while going blow for blow with Andre was great. Very good psychology shown by both. Great mixture of brawling thrown in with stiff wrestling maneuvers by both. And the two of them went damn near 20 minutes. For a match like that, that says a lot about both wrestlers conditioning. Great match. Sorry bout the length of this comment man. I dig both those promotions, especially that era.

tmage23 They beat the ever loving fuck out of each other.

Believe it or not Hansen and Hogan had a killer match in Japan too never saw Hogan bleed like that

Hulk wrestled Hanson in Japan too.

@@Arayig1982 Yes he did

NWA Gulf Coast Southeastern very late Seventies as well where for a very long time the now late great Bob Armstrong was one of the very few guys to pin Hulk Hogan cleanly in the middle of the ring. If memory serves this happened in Pensacola.🤔B.W.

Hogan lost by count out and DQ on plenty of arena shows. Studd, Macho Man, Adonis, Piper, etc. all held victories over Hogan when he was the champion if it meant they were coming back for a rematch or two at the same arena.

​@@yardape99true

I think hansen did it with no problems cause he knew hulk for years they had a good relationship hulk even gave him a call to make a cameo in his movie, not mentioning the fact that he was getting a big payday.

There is a tag team match in Japan where they fight each other

Santos Jerez and you feared brody and hogan ^^

And who didn't fear Brody? You either did business properly, or you had reality dawn on you from Brody (with Brody, his matches didn't have to hurt; but if you weren't doing business properly for him and blowing him up as a monster babyface, then he was going to make it happen the old fashioned way)...Hogan, almost wasn't any different than Brody; minus the aggression and the fact he didn't want to hurt anybody because I would imagine that it's bad for business in his eyes and it technically was except for those who enjoyed hardcore wrestling...Al Snow said it best that Hogan wasn't paid to take people down like he had been trained in wrestling by his trainer, Hogan was paid to be Hogan and you have to respect how long that brand still continues to last...

Santos Jerez fears a visa

The Emo Emu hogan faced Hansen in 1990 in japan. Right after wm6 the match was great

Well Andre was OVER 40 at WM3!!! Brody was in PHENOMENAL SHAPE at over 40 years old! Brody vs. Hogan was the BIG MAN match that got away from us! Hogan has said one of his biggest regrets was not getting Brody on the big stage. Hogan faced many 300 pound guys in his run! But the guys like Brody, Hansen. Gordy, Abby. in that Golden Age run in the states would have UPPED the ante in terms of in ring ability (Brody, Hansen, Gordy) and violence (all four of them). But WWF wasn't built for that at that time!

Brody did work for the wwwf back in 1976. But he was still green back then.

Yes he definitely would have, no way Vince would have missed out on that payday of a Brody vs Hogan.

Alain: Stan Hansen worked for The WWWF that same year and is renowned to have injured Bruno Sammartino's neck!😫B.W.

Brody would have changed the finish lol

Perhaps in North America......however in Japan both Hansen and Brody Ruled !

Would have been a great story line. Brody could be a nasty heel when needed.

Not really a myth, he'd fuck promoters left and right. But he was good enough to be able to get away with it.

maxx dahl ah, got it.

Well Brody didn't like to put over younger local talent, and he gave promoters headaches (Brody knew precisely what he was worth and demanded every penny of it up front), but they put up with it because he was worth it. When Brody came to town he was Gold, fans lined around the block and down the street. But in the end Brody did do business, he wasn't like Mil Mascaras throwing shit-fits and refusing to sell anything

Well brody did do that before. :P The luger cage match.

Funnily when asked about that Luger said Brody was nice as could be after the match backstage. He just said to Lex it wasn't working and I didn't wanna be in it. Never had an issue with Lex. Just something about that match that night.

lol. Go back to verbally blowing Russo, on russo videos. No one will know because no one watches those, you failed abortion.

Lol You Know So Guess You Know Of Me Huh? LOL You Really Are A Dumb Fuck Aren't You? LOL
