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.

"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."

"Brody often refused to do jobs. He sometimes changed the finish of a match while the match was going on."

Lex, who barely had a year of wrestling experience under his belt, was talking to Brody before the steel cage match, telling him how the match would go and what he had envisioned for it.

Bruiser was the last guy you would want to get on the wrong side of by telling him what to do, especially before a match.

It was all going to plan — until it wasn’t.
