Bruiser Brody and Lex Luger – Steel Cage Disrespect

The infamous steel cage match between Bruiser Brody and Lex Luger took place at the War Memorial Auditorium in Florida in January of 1987.

Bruiser Brody was a veteran at this point in his career and very well-respected amongst his peers.

Lex Luger, on the other hand, was almost the polar opposite. He was green and didn’t have the respect of the locker room.

"The Berzerker" John Nord once said of his friend and mentor, "Brody didn’t like guys that were cocky but liked people who treated him with respect."

Being the vet that he was, Brody wanted to call it in the ring. However, Lex, who barely had a year of wrestling experience under his belt, was talking to Brody before the steel cage match.

It was all going to plan — until it wasn’t. Brody just stopped working. He stopped selling. He stopped caring. He stopped doing anything. He just stopped.
