Bruiser Brody (Age: 42)
Brody had a remarkable career that spanned almost two decades, and which saw him establish himself as the greatest brawler that United States had ever seen till then. However, outside the ring he was known as a family man who had an eye for getting an extra dime whenever possible.
He often had a terrible relationship with his promoters because of this business-minded approach. That eventually cost him his life as Jose Gonzalez, a promoter in Puerto Rico, stabbed Brody to death in the locker-room after an argument broke out between the two.
The murder was a black mark in the Puerto Rican promotions, and after that none of the American wrestlers were ready to work there. The incident also ensured that now, wrestlers keep their guard up even in the locker room.
