#7. Bruiser Brody
As his name suggests, Bruiser Brody was a predecessor to some of the hardcore wrestlers who would come to follow him in the 1990s.
He wrestled all over the world, including Mexico, the United States, and Japan. His final days took place in Puerto Rico before he was scheduled to face Dan Spivey in a match.
Brody was engaged in an argument with Jose Huertas Gonzalez, who was a fellow wrestler and booker at the time. No one technically saw the act, but wrestler Tony Atlas claimed to hear screams from the nearby shower where Gonzalez and Brody were arguing.
Atlas ran to the shower and saw Brody clutching his abdomen while Gonzalez was holding a knife. Brody died hours later while Gonzalez was acquitted of the alleged murder, claiming self-defence.
While it may not have blown up like it would have today with the dominance of social media, it was still a shocking death in the business. Wrestlers and bookers always have disputes, and unfortunately, this one literally turned deadly.
