I was wondering the other day....where would Bruiser Brody be in 2002 if he hadn't been taken from us before his time? Challenging for the Triple Crown? Messing about with the likes of Rusher Kimura in comedy legends matches? Or wrestling the Honky Tonk Man in a high school gym in Hicksville? Whaddya reckon?

He would still have gone to WWF to have a big feud against the Huckster and jobbed to the "Budweiser of Pro-Wrestling". Maybe that could have happened in early 90s, and he would have retired by now?
It would be very sad, but let's not forget that Brody was a businessman. Going down for that pathetic legdrop could be something for him to do in order to get big bucks before a retirement.
Brody jobs to Hogan, then disappears. Returns a year later in a ridiculous caveman costume and bizarre face paint to job for Undertaker. Forms a violent tag team with Vader in WWF, under Cornette's management, then kicked out for being too violent. Embarks on a whirlwind tour of Japan. Returns to the US to a crowd-pleasing bloody feud with Terry Funk that puts ECW on the map. Retires again. When Hogan joins the NWO, hired to put a stop to Hogan as the "only wrestler that Hogan was really afraid of". Returns to All Japan. Wrestles for a while in Puerto Rico. Has several tours with american companies, including XPW and CZW. Featured in a horrendous 5-way battle against Funk, Rhodes, Sullivan, and Abby in Future of Wrestling. Just beginning to think about retiring...
Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
Cruel enough for me to feel no grief...
