Who Killed Bruiser Brody? What Year Did He Die?

Frank Donald Goodish, an American professional wrestler, best known by the ring as Bruiser Brody, was born on June 18, 1946, and passed away on July 17, 1988. In addition, he performed as Red River Jack, The Masked Marauder, and King Kong Brody. Brody’s hardcore wrestling brawling style, which frequently resulted in one or more competitors bleeding by the time the battle was ended, came to be associated with that style over time. In his prime, he occasionally performed for different promotions in North America as a “special attraction” wrestler, including World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW), the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF), Central States Wrestling (CSW), Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF), and the American Wrestling Association (AWA). He frequently worked for All Japan Pro Wrestling in Japan (AJPW).

Behind the scenes, Brody was very protective of his “in-ring” persona, rarely accepting defeat, and cultivating a reputation for being explosive. He occasionally purposely hits or injures opponents during a battle, going against the rules of professional wrestling, which are predetermined. He was inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame, St. Louis Hall of Fame, Southern Wrestling Hall of Fame, Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame, and the WWE Hall of Fame for his in-ring work and wrestling persona.

Brody passed away in 1988 from stab wounds he received while backstage at a wrestling match in Puerto Rico. José González, often known as Invader I, was the murderer. González was acquitted of murder by a jury, who found that he murdered Brody in self-defense. Because they didn’t receive summonses until after the trial was over, crucial witnesses to the murder chose not to testify at González’ trial.

What Year Did Bruiser Brody Die?

Bruiser Brody was scheduled to compete for Carlos Colon’s promotion, the World Wrestling Council, on July 16, 1988. However, before his match, José Huertas González, a fellow wrestler who competed under Invader 1, allegedly requested Brody to enter the showers with him to discuss business. González disliked Brody because Brody had humiliated him in several past matches, which was known before the incident. González was considered a “punk” by those who knew Brody, and Brody had no regard for him.

González allegedly declared during a fight with Brody, “One day, I am going to kill that man.” Bruiser Brody and José González’s altercation in the showers went unnoticed because of how the dressing room was built, but two cries were loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. When Tony Atlas arrived on the scene, Brody was hunched down, clutching his stomach, and González held a knife.

Who Killed Bruiser Brody?

José González was accused of killing Bruiser Brody. Still, as Dutch Mantel would put it, “He asserted self-defense, partly because Puerto Rico’s legal system is poor, and partly because nobody was at González’ trial on behalf of Brody, González was found not guilty.”

Despite being called for the trial, Tony Atlas and Dutch Mantel didn’t receive their invitation until after it started. The court system in Puerto Rico was inadequate that evening, allowing José González to escape murder. Bruiser Brody felt let down. González kept on fighting in Puerto Rico as if nothing had happened.
