Posted February 29, 200817 yr comment_5428837 Bruiser Brody vs. Abdullah the Butcher (4/10/81) - THis is almost an exact duplicate of the last match with very little wrestling and mostly arena brawling. However, where the last match had Steamboat chasing Sheik around the arena, this match has Abdullah and Brody with eaach other's hands around their throats the entire time they brawl. I am going to nominate this one with reservations. I want to see if there are any other Brody-Abby matches that are representative if what these two were doing and why they got their reputations. However, if a better one comes along, we can drop this one. (AJC 53)
December 23, 200915 yr comment_5446653 Well, this was exactly what I expected it to be. I'm not averse to representing their rivalry on the set. I remember seeing pictures of them savaging each other in the Apter mags and wanting to know where the fuck I could see that kind of mayhem. But there really wasn't anything overly special about the match. The brawl didn't seem particualrly fierce or out of control. There was no Murdoch brainbuster moment. It was just Abby and Brody doing their routine. I lean no, because I have no great desire to see the match again. But if you guys want to slap it on, I won't object.
August 21, 201015 yr comment_5454743 Abdullah the Butcher vs. Bruiser Brody (4/10/81) You would think that these two would've wrestled a ton in Japan but it's not true as Abby would leave for New Japan when Hansen came in and came back to All-Japan when Brody was in New Japan so they were rarely concurrent with each other. Abby juices as soon as he gets in the ring and takes a pounding but he breaks out the stick and Brody blades as he walks around which is such fucking bullshit, making it so fucking obvious if you know what's going on. Then they brawled through the crowd but it wasn't much going on though as they were basically locked up standing and on the floor with Joe Higuchi calling for the DQ. Shit if you want to put a Brody vs. Abby match on here then I guess this is it if another doesn't come along but I didn't enjoy this as much as the Steamer/Sheik brawl so I'm going towards no on a nomination.
August 21, 201015 yr Author comment_5454782 I don't have a problem letting this one go since they had a really good match represented on the TX set.
