Posted February 28, 200817 yr comment_5428802 Bruiser Brody vs. Dory Funk Jr. (Int. Title, 10/9/81) - This is the type of brawl that people should point to when they stick up for Brody. The only problem is that this was fun almost entirely due to dory Funk's willingness to play human punching bag. He bleeds, bumps and shows as much emotion as Dory Funk is capable of. Brody sells a little when Dory is ramming him into the ringposts but that is mainly an excuse to let him bleed. Pretty sweet post-match brawl as well with Brody and Dory taking out all of the natives who try to break up the fight. Buck Robley even joins in the fray. I'll throw this one in the discussion pile although I haven't seen a Brody singles match yet that would be considered a strong nomination. (AJC 60) (G+ Classics 27)
April 4, 201015 yr comment_5448953 I'm not a fan of either guy, so I was pretty shocked at how good this was. Dory played a great fired up underdog, and Brody managed not to irritate me for more than 10 minutes, no small feat. I enjoyed Dory earning the DQ by beating the shit out of Brody with his own chain, and the post-match ruled as well, with Terry showing up to fight in a checkered sport coat. This should definitely make the set.
August 22, 201015 yr comment_5454847 NWA International Heavyweight Title: Dory Funk Jr. © vs. Bruiser Brody (10/9/81) They start brawling as Lord James Blears reads off the proclamation and the war is on as they brawl through the crowd and come back with Dory juicing. Sumo Hall is hot for Dory here as Brody tries to put him away as quickly as he can with Dory taking and taking until he can't take no more and he starts throwing forearms to Brody sending him to the floor. Dory then posts and dropkicks Brody before posting him again and this time Brody is juicing with both men taking turns pounding on each other before a ref bump. Brody would then bring his chain into the ring but Dory takes it and starts pounding him with it then Joe Higuchi as he tried to break it up which brings in Buck Robley who takes a shot as well as the bell is called for. Dory starts pounding everyone in sight with the chain and it turns into a wild brawl with Brody hitting his King Kong Kneedrop off the top rope before Terry Funk shows up in a wild checkered sportscoat and cleans house. This was a great fun brawl with everyone being awesome here and this is a definite nomination.
