Posted July 13, 200916 yr comment_5441918 Lumberjack Match: Bruiser Brody vs. Kamala (9/5/83) This again is a war from the bell which was expected from these two. Brody juices early and often and it's funny seeing a very young John Tatum as a lumberjack. Kamala was awesome here bumping and selling for Brody and these two really meshed well together as Brody had experience with Abby but Kamala was more athletic at this time. The crowd was really hot for Brody here especially when he made his comeback. The finish was screwy as Brody would get his ass kicked by the heel lumberjacks forcing a DQ but this was a Brody match so DQ's are the norm. The finish didn't bother me at all and I think this deserves a nomination for the blood and hatred.
July 14, 200916 yr comment_5441932 Bruiser Brody vs Kamala - 9/5/1983 This was a lumberjack match. Both wrestlers work hard here and have a fun little brawl. I thought this was much better than the Abdullah/Brody cage match that was nominated earlier. With that said this doesn't get a nomination from me either. Brody was a bloody mess here. I loved Kamala's over sell of the dropkick. It seemed to drag at times, and the bout went just 8 or 9 minutes.The finish was bullshit and killed it as a nomination.

August 23, 200916 yr comment_5443212 "The best match they've had yet, and real close to getting a nomination from me. This is still Kamala's match, but Brody actually brings something more to the table than, say, Big John Studd would have in the same situation. He's bleeding practically from the word "go", throws nice looking offense, and sells Kamala's mid-match heart claw like a champ. This ends with Brody winning via DQ when the heel lumberjacks gang up on him, which sort of rubbed me the wrong way, but I think I could still be persuaded to nominate this match. Then again, not sure anyone else would like this match as much as I did, so who knows?" I guess I am not alone in digging this. I will agree that it is a low-level nomination.
